Description

Welcome to Gardens of St. Andrews Park, a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood inside Plantation Golf & Country Club in Venice. This top-floor end unit has its own private ground-level entry and staircase, windows on multiple sides and vaulted ceilings, and it is being sold turnkey furnished so the next owner can simply move in. The stairs lead up to 1,624 square feet of open, light-filled living space. A spacious living and dining area anchors the home, with plantation shutters, newer ceiling fans and laminate flooring with no carpet anywhere. The kitchen was refreshed within the last two years with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tall pantry, recessed lighting, and a raised breakfast bar keeps the cook connected to the living area. A separate breakfast nook by the window handles everyday meals. Beyond the living room, a climate-controlled Florida room lined with sliding glass windows looks out over palms and greenery, adding a relaxing flex space to unwind at the end of the day. The split floor plan gives everyone privacy. The primary suite sits at the back of the home with its own door to the Florida room, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. At the front, two generously sized guest bedrooms offer plenty of room for visiting family and share a full bath with a tub and shower, and an inside laundry room with washer and dryer sits just down the hall. Ownership here is refreshingly simple. The tile roof is approximately two years old, an assigned covered carport with storage sits steps from the entry, and association fees cover the community pool and grilling area, grounds maintenance, escrow reserves fund, pest control, cable TV, water, sewer, and trash. Leases of three months or more are permitted up to four times a year and pets are allowed, so the home works as well for a seasonal escape or income property as it does for full-time living. Optional membership at Plantation Golf & Country Club adds two championship golf courses, tennis, pickleball, bocce, a resort-style pool, a fitness center and dining. Just outside the community, Sprouts Farmers Market and new shopping sit at the corner of Jacaranda Boulevard and Center Road, and Caspersen Beach, Manasota Beach and the Venice Fishing Pier are minutes away, along with the shops, restaurants and theater of historic downtown Venice. The Legacy Trail links Venice to Sarasota for biking and walking, Snook Haven Park offers kayaking on the Myakka River, and CoolToday Park, spring training home of the Atlanta Braves, anchors Downtown Wellen, where a new phase is bringing more restaurants and boutiques. Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice is nearby and expanding, Venice Crossing on Laurel Road is set to bring major retail beginning in 2027, and I-75 is minutes away for trips up and down the Gulf Coast. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
