NEW ROOF IS CONTRACTED TO BE INSTALLED ON MAY 18TH. Set within the gated elegance of Venetia, this original-owner, custom-built Rossini II model offers a rare opportunity to own a home where thoughtful design, timeless craftsmanship, and everyday livability come together effortlessly. From the moment you arrive, a circular paver driveway and side-entry garage with windows create a striking first impression, while mature, beautifully maintained landscaping sets a tone of privacy and quiet sophistication. Step inside, and you’re immediately welcomed by crown molding and stunning tray ceiling details that draw your eye upward, adding dimension and character to the great room. A built-in glass shelving feature in the entry creates a refined focal point, while abundant natural light fills the home, softened by plantation shutters, custom drapery, and elegant valances throughout. As you move through the great room, your eye is naturally drawn beyond the interior to the beautiful pool and expansive lanai, creating an immediate connection to the home’s outdoor living space and setting the stage for effortless entertaining. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the layout flows seamlessly between the great room, living room, and kitchen, with multiple sliders opening to the lanai for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop island, pineapple stained glass accents, expansive counter space, and generous seating at the breakfast bar. Just beyond, the sunlit eat-in area, highlighted by a signature “fishbowl†window, offers comfortable seating for four. The primary suite offers a spacious and private retreat, with French doors leading directly to the lanai. The en-suite bath features dual sinks, a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and private water closet. Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space, including one with a built-in desk. Storage is a standout feature, with abundant closets throughout and many rooms offering dual closets. Step outside to a spacious lanai and beautifully designed pool featuring a linear spillover water feature, all overlooking tranquil pond views that create a peaceful backdrop for relaxing or entertaining. A dedicated pool bath adds convenience and functionality. This home also offers meaningful updates and peace of mind, including a new tile roof (2026), HVAC updates (2025 primary suite; 2018 main home), recent HVAC servicing (April 2026), and a pool resurfaced in 2025. A new whole-home automatic backup generator provides added confidence during unexpected outages. Additional features include a heated pool, hurricane protection, in-home vacuum system, irrigation system, and public water and sewer. Beyond the home itself, Venetia offers a resort-style lifestyle with a grand clubhouse, pool and spa, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and a vibrant social calendar—all just a short walk from the home. Ideally located minutes from historic downtown Venice and the Gulf beaches, this home offers easy access to coastal living, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and everything that makes Venice one of Southwest Florida’s most desirable places to call home. ¤ Please see 3D Tour and Video ¤
