Description

MOTIVATED SELLER!!! Welcome to paradise, get ready to fall in love! This light, bright, and totally move-in-ready 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is your Florida dream come true. Enjoy total peace of mind with a brand new roof, AC, and carport — all recently completed, so all you have to do is move in and start soaking up the sunshine! Beautiful flooring flows seamlessly throughout the entire home — that's right, absolutely no carpet anywhere! Both spacious bedrooms feature generous walk-in closets and are served by two full baths, giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and settle in. And when it's time to unwind, just step outside to your huge screened lanai — the perfect spot to sip your coffee, soak in the sun, and watch the palm trees sway. Tucked away in a peaceful, active 55+ community, yet conveniently located in the heart of Venice, this home offers the best of both worlds. Residents enjoy access to a sparkling community pool, a lovely park, and a full calendar of activities — this is truly resort-style living at its finest! The community is known for its vibrant social scene, with tons of gatherings and events that make it easy to meet neighbors and build lasting friendships. Animal lovers will be thrilled too — up to 2 pets are welcome, and the community park even features its very own dog park, so your furry friends will love it here just as much as you do! And with a low HOA fee, you get to enjoy all of this without breaking the bank. This home is located in an X Flood Zone, meaning no flood insurance is required — just one more reason this home is an incredible value in Southwest Florida. And when it comes to location, it truly can't be beat! You're just a short drive to Downtown Venice Island, the stunning Gulf beaches, and the scenic Legacy Trail, with easy access to Interstate 75 and just around the corner from US-41 — putting shopping, dining, and everything you love right at your fingertips. This one checks every box — don't let it slip away. Your slice of paradise is waiting!
