Looking for the relaxed lifestyle of the Florida Gulf Coast? Located in a gated community between Sarasota and Venice, this beautiful home is very welcoming with mature landscaping, handsome exterior with tile roof (2013), over-sized side load garage, and golf course views. Smartly decorated inside with plantation shutters and Hunter Douglas blinds, the airy home is complete with high ceilings, 18" Travertine tile floors in living areas and baths, and arched windows for light. Perfect for entertaining, several disappearing sliding doors expand the interior space onto the large, caged lanai with a generous covered space for outdoor dining. An open, yet defined, living/dining room area flows to the combo eat-in kitchen, with stainless appliances, center island for prep, abundance of cabinets, and full wall of pantry space, and then into the adjoining spacious family room, with its cathedral ceiling and grand window. The 2 bedroom guest wing, with shared bath, is separate from the sizable master bedroom, with its 2 walk-in plus 2 extra built-in closets, and en suite bath with double sinks, shower, and soaking tub. Community residents of Calusa Lakes enjoy low HOA fees of $219 per qt., which includes security, lawn irrigation, access to tennis and public restaurant, and optional golf club membership - all of this just minutes away from shopping, dining, arts and cultural events, boating, Legacy Trail, and sandy beaches!
