A spacious, private home and serene water views are what you will experience in this highly upgraded Neal Communities home in the welcoming community of Windwood. Situated in the City of Venice on an ultra-premium lot with only one adjacent neighbor and pond views on two sides, this home has been impeccably maintained by the original owners who have invested over $130k in upgrades including a whole-house natural gas generator.

The Triumph floorplan is functional and thoughtful in design with generous room sizes and separation between bedrooms for added privacy. Key features include 2,332 square feet of living space with three bedrooms (two en-suites), three full bathrooms, a versatile den with glass French doors, a 4’ garage extension, and abundant closet and storage space throughout. An impact-rated glass front entry door allows the morning sun to shine through the foyer and gallery showing off the beautifully engineered hardwood floors. The expansive great room with a coffered ceiling and recessed lighting enjoys tranquil pool and pond views.

The highly upgraded kitchen features white solid wood cabinetry with crown molding, full extension dovetail drawers, pot & pan drawers, refrigerator enclosure, ceramic tile backsplash, granite countertops, and a large walk-in pantry with custom shelving. A full suite of recently installed high-end Beko Stainless Steel appliances features a five-burner gas range with convection oven, convection microwave, French door refrigerator with bottle filler, and ultra-quiet three-tier dishwasher. The large primary bedroom features an en-suite bath with two walk-in closets, two separate vanities, a walk-in shower, and a water closet. The guest suite has a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with shower, while the third bedroom has an adjacent bath with shower. A spacious den with glass French doors is versatile in its use with an adjacent walk-in closet for even more storage space allowing for an easy conversion to a 4th bedroom.

A large covered lanai overlooks the heated saltwater pool with tranquil waterfall, and lush tropical landscaping provides extra privacy. Water views on two sides of the home offer relaxing views and frequent visitors from native wildlife. A large pool deck provides ample space for sunbathing and entertaining, with a ceiling fan and shade screen on the lanai, as well as a natural gas hookup for grilling. Almost every detail of this home was thoughtfully upgraded including 8’ tall interior doors, coffered ceilings, recessed lights, durable engineered flooring, crown molding, 5-1/4” baseboards, custom built-in closet systems in 6 closets, hard-wired security system (indoor & outdoor) with streaming video and smoke communicator, and an attic radiant barrier for energy efficiency.

Have peace of mind during hurricane season knowing that this home has full hurricane protection, a whole-house natural gas generator with seven years remaining on the warranty, and is not located in a high-risk flood zone. The exterior of this home was recently painted as well as a new epoxy garage floor coating. All this, and no CDD fees to worry about either!
