It is always about the view and this stunning residence has wide open breathtaking Bayfront views with 212 feet of water frontage in the incomparable South Creek gated community of just 73 homes. Dock and 10,000-pound lift, imagine having the waterfront lifestyle you have dreamed of, just a few homes from direct Intracoastal Waterway access and minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. The living space is welcoming and inviting, with breathtaking views the moment you walk in. The great room with an 11-foot vaulted ceiling is centered in the residence bordering a wide-open kitchen with center island, wet bar, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and quite possibly the best vantage point from the kitchen sink. A split floor plan with owner's suite having stunning backdrop, spacious in design with walk-in closets and recently remodeled bath. Two bedrooms tucked behind a pocket door with updated bath between. There is also a half-bath dedicated pool bath on the lanai. Impact windows and hurricane shutter protection for peace of mind, on a practical note: roof replaced in 2014, AC in 2018. The outdoor living is as compelling as the indoor, with a large, deep sparkling pool, wraparound decking to take in sublime bay views, sunsets, dolphin and manatee sightings, as well as a menagerie of birds. Nearly ¾ of an acre with generous-sized front and backyard that has an irrigation well. Nothing captures the mood so well of tranquil waterfront living as South Creek, with tennis courts, playground and minutes to the allure of downtown Venice with shops, dining and theater. Sarasota is nearby with the cultural mecca of arts, opera, ballet and fine dining. Siesta Key and Nokomis Beach are a short drive, waterfront restaurants, tiki bars, the Legacy Trail, as well as Pineview School. A stellar home poised in a coveted location that is hard to come by with an enduring lifestyle in perfect harmony with its surroundings.
