This is one beautiful view! When you enter the front door of this home, you see a peaceful, private lake view through multiple sliders 16 feet wide. Then as you pause and look around, you will notice the 17" high cathedral ceilings which create an impressive great room. This open floor plan creates a spacious daily living and entertaining space where the dining and living room flow together well with the kitchen off to one side. The kitchen boasts of tiled counters and a breakfast bar overlooking the lake. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and shower, and double vanities. This is an easy move… bring your toothbrush and you're set, because this home is being sold turnkey furnished. In no time, you can be relaxing on the patio around the heated "spool" (11x12 small pool/spa) which overlooks the lake. For ease of care, this home is completely tiled, except one bedroom which has a "seaside" inspired wood laminate. To aide in peace of mind, this home was "replumbed" and the roof replaced in 2005. This home is situated on a lovely cul-de sac in the unique, maintenance free, gated community of The Inlets. Enjoy resort style living in this waterfront community with lush landscaping and gently winding roads. The Inlets community provides a clubhouse, resort style pool, spa, fitness room, shuffleboard, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, and many social activities. The HOA provides all the amenities, along with lawn/landscape maintenance, a fenced locked lot for RV and boat storage, internet, and basic cable. The Inlets is located west of Route 41 between quaint Venice and bustling Sarasota, so you're removed from major traffic, yet have great options for restaurants, entertainment, beaches, and more. There's a community gate with access to Shore Road which is only 1 mile from beautiful Nokomis Beach. There's also nearby access to the Legacy Trail where you can bike, run or walk to downtown Venice (3 miles) or to Sarasota (8 miles).
