Ideally positioned on a corner lot, this custom J&J residence with a Barbados floor plan was built for plenty of elbow room and enjoyment. All room sizes are more than ample. The light and bright double door entry with arched transom window and stately vaulted ceilings welcome you to an inviting home that is energizing yet tranquil. Truly a unique home with three bedrooms, two baths plus den. Features include detailed arches and niches, along with a spacious kitchen that is the heartbeat of the home. The owner’s suite features dual sinks, walk-in shower, large soaker tub, plus two walk-in closets. Outdoor living is as compelling as the indoor, with a sparkling 12-by-24 pool, resurfaced in 2021, with Wet Edge in Caribbean Blue. A wraparound privacy wall with ponytail palm and beautiful landscaping for Zen-like comfort and seamless indoor/outdoor living frame an incredible lifestyle. Exterior painted in 2021 carpet replaced 2021 and 2019. An ideal location just minutes to downtown Venice, beaches, hiking/biking trails and Legacy Trail along the Intracoastal Waterway for boating and kayaking. Sawgrass is a gated community excellent for walking among the pristine, well-kept mature landscaping along creeks and lakes. Complete with a clubhouse, a newly renovated 70-foot heated saltwater pool and fitness center, as well as tennis and a pickleball court. Golf membership is available for three 9-hole courses but is not mandatory. Serenity and safety combined with peacefulness and tranquility.
