Description

Here is the home you have been dreaming of – a move in ready, maintenance free home with panoramic golf views, along with fountain and lake views. Priced to sell, so hurry to come tour this stunning 2 bedroom + den, 2 bath home with 2 car garage in the highly desirable Waterford community before it is gone! Waterford is an active tennis and golf community (golf membership optional) with fabulous amenities, low HOA fees and no CDD fee. Meticulously maintained, this welcoming home has cathedral ceilings, fresh, neutral paint and has the open floorplan everyone desires to entertain in style. Rest easy knowing the entire home has impact windows, keeping the home safe and also very quiet. The living room has soaring cathedral ceilings, is light and bright and flows perfectly to the Florida room and dining room. Relax or entertain year-round in the large, air-conditioned Florida room and enjoy the small patio for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The well laid out kitchen has new backsplash, 2 pantries for all of your storage needs and a sunny breakfast nook. Sleep well in the large owner’s suite which has a huge walk-in closet with custom shelving. The ensuite bathroom offers double vanities, tiled, walk in shower and private commode. The second bedroom affords plenty of privacy for guests along with accommodating bath with tub/shower. The sunny den, adjacent to the family room and overlooking the golf course, could be a flex or craft room. Home has many upgrades: new tile roof (2020) with transferable warranty, wifi thermostat which can be controlled remotely, whole house surge protection, new LED canned lighting and water heater replaced in 2021. This home has wonderful curb appeal and is on a cul-de-sac, so there is very little road traffic. Two car garage as work bench, loads of storage and laundry area with utility sink. More to love: home is not in a flood zone, electricity is up to code, and the low maintenance free fee covers so much: grass cutting, trimming trees and shrubs, fertilization, yearly roof pressure washing (with small add-on fee) and irrigation system including water and maintenance costs. Bonus: $2,000 was already paid for 2024 exterior painting of the house. Community pool across the street for Ashley Drive residents is convenient and a wonderful place for social gatherings with neighbors. Reasonable master HOA fee covers social membership, use of the recently renovated club house, fitness room, tennis courts and junior Olympic heated pool and hot tub. Waterford is pet friendly (any size) and is ideally located: only 4 miles to historical downtown Venice for dining, shopping, beaches and culture and close to grocery stores, brand new Sarasota Memorial hospital and numerous golf courses. This fabulous home is the perfect home, year-round or as a winter retreat – make it yours today! Be sure to watch the video.
