385 Marsh Creek Rd., Venice, FL 34292

Custom Sawgrass residence built by J & J Homes, the Trinidad floor plan ideally positioned bordering a preserve with a lake and Capri Isles second hole golf course in the background beyond. Breathtaking views from many rooms of the intimate lanai and 17-by-24-foot heated pool. Indoor-outdoor living is seamless from a fabulous 10-by-20-foot covered lanai framed with arched columns, tile on diagonal, a trickling fountain and electric roll-down hurricane/shade screen. Curb appeal begins with impressive palms, lush landscaping, paver drive, oversized 22-by-22-foot garage, and a new roof is contracted, paid for and installation will commence in April 2023. Screened-in entrance with double door welcomes you to an inviting home that is both energizing yet tranquil. The brilliant floor plan with excellent separation of guest and primary bedrooms allows for privacy. Exquisite features include hardwood floors in bedrooms, tile in remainder, 8-foot doorways, crown molding, wall details, plantation shutters throughout. The seller was able to achieve a truly unique home, spacious in design with unending attention to detail: kitchen in granite, cherry cabinets with drawers and pullouts and stainless steel appliances. The owner’s suite is an oasis with extended sitting area wrapped in a wall of windows to the serene setting, walk-in closet, spa bath and direct patio/pool access. On a practical note: AC replaced in 2023, pool cage refurbished and pool pump replaced in 2022, along with sparkling PebbleTec pool resurface. Sawgrass is a gated community with a clubhouse, 70-foot heated pool, fitness center, pickleball, tennis and golf that is not mandatory. Low HOA fees without CDD fees. While located a short distance from the Gulf of Mexico, this home is in a preferred X Flood Zone. Toss aside the notion of new construction, this one is better than new.
