Nestled in the quaint Venice community of Blue Heron Pond, conveniently located within a mile of I75 and close to downtown and several beaches, this former model built by renowned local custom home builder, Caithness Construction, welcomes you with a beautifully landscaped yard, mature palm trees and native shrubbery, paver sidewalk and a grand front entry with 10-foot ceiling. Inside, the home is loaded with upgrades including 18” diagonal floor tile, tray ceilings, crown molding, 5 ¼” base molding, recessed lighting, paddle fans, plantation shutters, solid wood cabinetry and brand new, stainless steel appliances installed in 2019. The 10-foot ceilings and open floor plan are perfect for entertaining family and friends and the private guest rooms are separate from the master with plenty of closet and storage space. The large great room, open to the kitchen and the lanai, lets you enjoy Florida living as intended – sunny days and cool breezes at night as you swim in the very private, self-cleaning pool with waterfall fountain. There’s a perfect spot to accommodate a large screen TV and electric fireplace in the custom built-in located in the great room. The newly carpeted master and 2nd guest bedroom (4/17), rescreened pool cage (2018), and new pool pump in 2018 offer piece of mind. The icing on this cake is the low annual HOA fee and no CDD fee. Lovingly maintained by one owner, this fabulous, sparkling clean pool home is waiting for you.
