One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Live in the highly sought after community of St Andrews East at the Plantation. This villa style maintenance free condo is situated on a beautiful pond where you will enjoy stunning sunset views. Centrally located to everything Venice has to offer and just a walk around the corner to the community pool, this villa has NO CDD FEES and NO FLOOD INSURANCE IS REQUIRED! New A/C installed in 2020. The front porch is screened-in so you can leave the front door open and enjoy the cross breeze through the home during the winter months when the Florida weather is practically perfect. Once inside you will find an interior that has been completely repainted in a fresh and inviting color palette, new carpet, refinished grout in the tile floor areas, and high ceilings. The main living area is flooded with light thanks to a slider out to the lanai, and the living room and dining area are both perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The eat-in kitchen received a makeover that includes upgraded quartz countertops and under cabinet lighting. Enjoy a stainless-steel appliance package (refrigerator new as of 2021), white cabinets, and a large pantry. There is a slider from the kitchen to the lanai that makes dining al fresco a breeze. The tranquil primary suite has a view of the pond that you will enjoy right from the comfort of your bed. There is a large walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with an oversized dual sink vanity and convenient walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home is a generously sized second bedroom with two large closets, as well as a second bathroom. A privacy door in the hallway can be closed off to make this bedroom an en suite private retreat for guests. Just off the foyer is a third bedroom with a double door entry that is the perfect room for creating a space that works for you... such as a home office or a multipurpose flex room with a Murphy bed or pull-out couch. There is a two-car garage and an inside laundry room. The villa's exterior is slated to be re-painted and to have new shutters installed in the next few weeks. Membership of the club at Plantation is not mandatory but is a great option if you are looking to belong to a private club with championship golf, amenity rich clubhouse, and desirable social activities and dining options. Live within minutes of local attractions, wonderful restaurants, and tons of shopping. With easy access to I-75, local beaches, and just a short drive to the Island of Venice, this location will not disappoint. The new town center of Wellen Park and the CoolToday Park Stadium (home of the Atlanta Brave’s Spring training camp) are less than 10 minutes away. Perfect as a full-time residence, a part-time vacation getaway, or even an income producing investment... If you are looking for a piece of Florida's paradise, look no further than this lovingly cared for villa.
