BACK ON MARKET - Due to financing/NOT appraisal. One of a kind, 3-acre horse property located in the heart of Venice that will blow you away. Feel the cares subside gliding down the palm bordered drive to the private compound accentuated by grand oaks. Notice the immaculate landscape and hardscape that really sets this home apart from average. The uniqueness of the property is evidenced the minute you see the timbered pergola providing the perfect place for entertaining family and friends. Relax watching the game, laugh at the "kids" singing Karaoke or just feel the serenity of the evening in the country yet just minutes from everything including the beach. Entering the home, appreciate the open floorplan where your entertaining can continue as guests mingle from the dining room to the kitchen and two separate living areas. When the chill of February hits, appreciate the corner stone wood burning fireplace. The kitchen is designed with the chef in mind. New cabinetry with more than enough room for any cook's tools. The stainless-steel appliances feature a double oven, farmhouse sink and extraordinary granite which make cooking a breeze. A separate "formal" dining room can make those holiday meals a joy with enough room for everyone to sit at the adult table. The main suite features a full spa-like bathroom with designer tile and dual sinks. Another unique feature is that the main bathroom opens to the home's mechanical room and provides a very convenient location for the laundry. Two bedrooms are split from the main suite and allow privacy for family or guests. There is a fourth bedroom that is convenient for use as an office or playroom. The yard and grounds are the showstopper for this home. In addition to the main pergola additional seating and entertaining areas are by the front door. A third pergola allows for more private intimate meetings. Of course, there is a fire pit, stable, butterfly screened garden, chicken coops, stable, and utility shed. Relax in the fully remodeled salt-water pool. The 3-car garage provides ample room for toys, cars, workshop or even an office. Speaking of toys, park the boat or RV, there's plenty of room. Venice Acres is a couple of minutes from the Jacaranda circle with its shopping areas and minutes from I-75. The home is 15 minutes from Venice Beach, 10 minutes from downtown and the Island of Venice with its unique shops and restaurants and 9 minutes to the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice.
