Welcome to the Venetian Golf and River Club, a gated golf community in Venice where this 2 bedroom, 2 bath pool home with a den sits at the end of a quiet cul de sac on a premium lot backing to a pond and the golf course. Mature palms, oaks, and hedging frame the back of the lot, so the lanai feels private while still opening to glimpses of the pond and fairway beyond. Meticulously maintained and move in ready, the home offers brand new carpet throughout, a remodeled primary bath, and 1,727 square feet of living space under a barrel tile roof. Inside, tile floors and crown molding run through the main living areas, and arched openings connect the foyer, dining area, and great room in an open plan. A wall of sliders in the great room opens the whole space to the lanai, and a built in niche wall handles the TV and display shelving. The kitchen features raised panel cabinetry, dark stone counters, a center island, stainless steel appliances including a gas range with double oven, and a raised breakfast bar for casual seating. A bright breakfast nook with a tall shuttered window sits just off the kitchen, and the laundry room includes upper cabinets and a full size washer and dryer. The split floor plan gives the primary suite its own wing at the back of the home, with a tray ceiling, a large walk in closet, and pond views. The remodeled primary bath has a long double vanity with oil rubbed bronze fixtures and a walk in tiled shower with a glass block window. The den sits between the main living areas and the guest side of the home and works well as an office, reading room, or overflow guest space. The guest bedroom and full hall bath are positioned at the front for privacy. Plantation shutters cover much of the home. Out back, the oversized screened lanai holds the pool with a raised spillover spa and blue tile accents, with a covered seating and dining area under a ceiling fan just outside the sliders. Tropical landscaping wraps the enclosure for privacy, with the pond and golf course showing through the palms. A two car garage completes the home. Venetian Golf and River Club residents enjoy the River Club with its restaurant, bar, and ballroom, a fitness center, aerobics studio, resort style pool and lap pool, tiki bar, six Har Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a nature trail along the Myakka River. The 18 hole Chip Powell championship course and driving range are available through optional membership. The community sits off Laurel Road with quick access to I 75, and it is a short drive to Venice Beach, Nokomis Beach, historic downtown Venice, Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice, and the shopping and dining along the Tamiami Trail.
