450 LAKE OF THE WOODS DRIVE

Property Details

Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Rarely does a home in coveted Lake of the Woods hit the market with this much to offer. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath sits on a corner lot with mature, pristine landscaping, in flood zone X with no CDD. The side-load 2-car garage, double door entry, and vaulted ceilings in the living room, dining room, kitchen, primary bedroom, second bedroom, and screened patio give it real presence from the moment you walk in. A fully screened front porch is the perfect spot for morning coffee. The private backyard backs to trees, and sliders across the rear of the home open onto the heated saltwater pool. The kitchen is a true standout: soft-close cabinets, LED lighting, gold magma granite counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a built-in bar in the eat-in area — with a second built-in bar in the dining room. Luxury laminate flooring was installed in 2020, plantation shutters and blinds are throughout, and the laundry room has a double washer, steam dryer, and utility sink. The second bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the third bedroom — currently set up as a den/sitting area — offers two large closets, one with built-in shelving. Major systems are largely updated: roof (2016), 16 SEER Lennox Elite 2-speed AC with a smart WiFi thermostat (2020, still under warranty), submersible well pump (2020), water heater (2022), whole-home repipe (2022), new gutters (2023), and a new garage door opener (2024). The pool has a new cage (2022), replaced heater, light, and heat pump (2023), and a new salt cell (2024). The guest bath was remodeled in 2022, and the dining room has a new lower window (2025). An external generator connection is in place. Solar landscape lighting completes the picture. Some furnishings are negotiable. Tucked into an established, well cared-for neighborhood, this home is central to everything Venice has to offer — minutes from the Gulf beaches and famed Venice Beach, and close to scenic walking trails and bike path circling 35-acre Lake Meredith.
