Skip the wait and expense of building or adding a pool and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle from day one at 145 Soliera St. Located behind the gates of Toscana Isles, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Avery model combines a private pool, peaceful preserve views, and one of the area's most impressive resort-style communities. With no homes directly behind you, the backyard offers privacy and tranquility rarely found in a newer home like this. Inside, the open floor plan is comfortable, functional, and easy to maintain, with luxury touches including high ceilings, crown molding, and a custom closet in the primary suite. There is no carpet anywhere in the home, with premium LVT flooring throughout the main living areas and tile in the bathrooms. The kitchen overlooks the dining and living spaces, while large sliders connect the interior directly to the covered lanai and pool area. Step outside and this is where you'll likely spend most of your time. The screened pool overlooks the preserve, creating a private setting for morning coffee, afternoons by the pool, or entertaining friends and family. The covered patio also features hurricane-rated electronic roll-down Kevlar protection, making storm preparation that much easier. Another important Florida advantage: the home is located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is typically not required by lenders. Toscana Isles was designed around the Florida lifestyle, with more than 200 acres of lakes and an impressive 8,000-square-foot lakefront clubhouse. Residents enjoy a resort-style infinity-edge pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball and bocce courts, dog park, playground, fire pit, and plenty of social activities. You can even fish, kayak, or canoe on two of the community lakes without ever leaving the neighborhood. The location is another reason Toscana Isles has become so popular. You're just minutes from Nokomis Beach and Casey Key, the Legacy Trail, Sarasota Memorial Hospital - Venice, shopping, restaurants, golf, and I-75. Downtown Venice and Venice Island are close by for dining, shopping, farmers markets, and evenings along historic Venice Avenue, while Downtown Sarasota and UTC are an easy drive when you want even more options. Whether you're looking for a full-time home or your own Florida escape, this one has the pieces buyers are looking for already in place...a private pool, preserve lot, Flood Zone X designation, gated community, resort-style amenities, and a location that keeps you close to both Sarasota and Venice. At 145 Soliera St, all that's left to do is move in and enjoy it.
