Welcome to The Gardens 1 of St. Andrews Park! As an investment or your special place in Florida, this second floor end unit has a water & nature view & interior that is welcoming, comfortable, efficient, clean, & ready to be lived in once again. It is turnkey furnished (less some personal exclusions) & ready for a new occupant. Let's begin with comfort. The owner's bedroom is spacious with a walk-in closet, cozy carpeting under foot, & ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a double-sink vanity & easy step-in shower. A sliding door accesses the adjoining Florida room that begs for end-of-day relaxation, or a late evening night cap. The Florida room also adjoins the living room for extended living space. The living room is in the center of the unit & adjoins a dining area and is open to the kitchen. The fully-applianced kitchen is efficient for preparing small snacks to large meals, with a pantry closet for food and prep materials. The eating area is not confined to one space. The kitchen has a dinette area, a breakfast/lunch/snack/wine/hang-out bar, & a separate dining area, nice for entertaining or use as you choose! Maybe you'd like a space for games or that don't-touch-the-puzzle pieces table! At the front of the unit, two lovely guest bedrooms & shared full bath welcome tired family & guests. There is a laundry room with full washer & dryer at the end of this hall. Plantation shutters adorn the windows & ceiling fans in every room keep air circulating for individual comfort. Cozy carpeting is where it makes sense, & ceramic tile where it makes sense. The carport is just outside the front entry & a storage unit for beach or other paraphernalia. Just a few steps will take you to the community pool. Enjoy that stroll or bike ride on winding, quiet streets with mature trees & enjoy the feel of a Southern-style community. For several years, the seller had seasonal tenants, some of who returned several times. This unit is a nice investment opportunity seasonal or long term. But wait! There's more! The Plantation is home to the esteemed Plantation Golf & Country Club (a separate entity) where various memberships are available to anyone in The Plantation community. Two 18-hole golf courses, fitness, tennis & more are available to members. For more information & membership fees, please visit tpgcc.org. The Gardens 1 of St. Andrews Park at The Plantation is located between I75 and 41/Tamiami Trail. The location offers easy access to historic downtown Venice, beaches, shopping, restaurants, health facilities, sports & points north & south. Just right. Unit 204 is once again ready for the rituals of life - the smell of morning coffee, preparing & sharing meals, relaxing space, conversation, laughter & joy. A special place to call home.
