The story
This beautifully appointed 2024 Toll Brothers residence offers over 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in the gated community of Venice Woodlands. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac with an oversized driveway, three-car garage and a private backdrop of lush, mature vegetation, this West Indies-inspired home combines refined finishes, generous spaces and the ease of nearly new construction. The Sanderling Elite floor plan welcomes you through a covered, screened entry and foyer into a soaring great room and dining area, where tray ceilings and a custom electric fireplace create an inviting focal point. The open layout draws your eye through the home to the expansive screened and covered lanai beyond, allowing one to open up the home on both sides, letting the breeze flow through and offering a private setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery. At the heart of the home, the beautifully designed kitchen features quartz countertops, cabinetry extending to the ceiling and an oversized center island with breakfast-bar seating. Additional cabinetry along the back of the island provides valuable hidden storage, while a sizable pantry and abundant counter space make the kitchen as functional as it is attractive. A bright casual dining area sits just beyond. The spacious primary suite is a retreat, featuring expansive custom built-out closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, an oversized walk-in shower, linen storage and a private water closet. Secondary bedrooms offer generous closet space, while a versatile flex room provides additional space for a home office, den or sitting room. Upstairs, a secluded oversized loft (which can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom and full bath) with its adjacent powder room creates an ideal bonus space for guests, a media room, game room or second living area. Built with comfort and peace of mind in mind, the home features whole-home hurricane impact windows, a flat tile roof, full gutter system and a comprehensive home security system. The property is also outside a designated flood hazard area. Beyond the home, Venice Woodlands offers a relaxed, resort-style lifestyle with a community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball courts and bocce ball. Low HOA fees include individual-home lawn maintenance, making ownership even more effortless, and there is no CDD fee. Conveniently near the best of Venice and Nokomis, this exceptional home offers the rare combination of newer construction, substantial square footage, privacy, thoughtful upgrades and community amenities. Zoned for Laurel Nokomis Elementary School, Laurel Nokomis Middle School and Venice High School, all included on the Excellent List.
