One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Enjoy all the privacy of a single-family home with all the conveniences of a condo! This 2 bed, 2 bath plus den freestanding villa in Palm Villas in Venice has had all the best upgrades over the past three years including NEW kitchen cabinets, NEW marble countertops, NEW appliances, NEW interior paint and it'll also have NEW roof before closing! There is NO carpet in this squeaky-clean villa; it's thoughtfully designed with ceramic tile in the wet areas (kitchen, baths, and high traffic areas) and newer engineered hardwood in the living room. Cathedral ceilings and abundant windows bathe the home in natural light and the fully enclosed lanai give you plenty of space to enjoy the Florida sunshine. If you love opening the doors to let in those tropical breezes, you'll love this: both the side porch AND the two-car garage are screened. Love to grill out? You can do it here! A brick paver patio is large enough to hold a grill, a patio table and enough chairs for an intimate gathering with friends or family AND it has a view of the picturesque pond. Move-in ready homes like this don't last long! Palm Villas is a maintenance free community. Low HOA fees include use of the pool and clubhouse, grounds maintenance and most exterior maintenance. A new roof is being installed in late February 2024 and will be paid in full by the seller before closing. This villa is in the desired X flood zone (flood insurance is NOT required). One dog or cat allowed under 35 pounds. All of this is just 2 miles from the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice, there are TWO golf courses within 1 mile, 4 miles to downtown Venice, 5 miles to Venice Beach, and 15 miles to world-renowned Siesta Key Beach.
