What a great location! In the popular gated, maintenance-free community of Clubside Villas at the Plantation, with its clubhouse and completely refurbished (2022) heated saltwater pool, this home is immediately adjacent to Plantation Golf and Country Club, with two 18-hole golf courses, tennis courts, pickleball courts and other activities. Optional memberships are available. Nearby is Wellen Park with new shops, restaurants and the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves at Cool Today Park. Also nearby is the City of Venice's shopping, restaurants, beaches and water sports. Enjoy this spacious two-bedroom plus a bedroom or den, free-standing villa with a two-car attached garage, which is move-in ready. This home was only used during the winter season for a number of years. Feel comfortable with a recent roof (2017). Moving from the ceramic tiled entryway into the kitchen with its gas-fired (propane) range and ceramic tiled flooring, to the extensive covered patio with ceramic tile flooring. The kitchen has a full set of convenient appliances, solid Corian counters, ceramic tile flooring and a well-lit breakfast nook. The open, high-ceiling, furnished dining/living area is ideal for entertaining and connects to the enclosed patio with sliding glass doors. The north-facing Florida room overlooks a substantial pond, fountain, mature plantings and beautiful trees. The large primary bedroom suite, with a large closet, has a bay window overlooking the pond and an entry to the adjoining Florida room. The en-suite windowed, primary bath has a large Jacuzzi-type tub, a separate glass doored shower, a dual vanity sink counter and a large walk-in closet. The guest bedroom also has a large bay window and en-suite bath with a tub and shower and window, as well as a full linen closet.
