If you are looking for an open floor plan with a view that settles the soul, this is it. Nestled on a pond view corner lot, the oversized lanai (17x20) looks over a freshwater pond with a fountain that is visited by Florida's rich wildlife. You will love eating and entertaining there or just watching the sunset. A pool bath on the lanai makes it even better. That is just the start of the extras you get with this three-bedroom, three-full- and two-half-bath, three-car garage home. A covered screened entryway greets your guests and is perfect for opening the front door and getting that delicious saltwater breeze. Your first view is into the great room featuring coffered ceilings and the three-panel sliding doors leading to the lanai. Beautiful, rich Cherry Bordeaux cabinets in the kitchen provide room for even the gourmet chef's equipment and if that wasn't enough storage, the huge walk-in pantry can take the overflow. A large dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and has a lovely aquarium window. The study, or art studio as this owner uses it, is bathed in light providing that uplifting feeling you need in a home office. The large master bedroom has plenty of room for king-sized furniture or even a sitting area, and the master bath has a wonderful walk-in shower and separate water closet. Visitors and family will love the two other bedrooms. One has its own attached bath the other a bath right outside their door. This is a gem. Caribbean Village is a maintenance-free, gated community, with a heated resort-style pool and fitness center, all centrally located close to Venice Island and its fabulous beaches.
