5053 Southern Pine Cir., Venice, FL 34293

Step just one foot inside this spacious Southwood home, and you will see, right away, why you will want to make it your new address. The front entry looks straight through the formal living room, directly to the Lanai & Pool, and the gorgeous, southern facing Lake beyond. The view and the huge backyard grab your attention immediately. This is a one owner residence, which features both Living and Family rooms, separate Dining room, large Owner's Suite, an open floor plan, with split bedrooms, and plenty of storage cabinets, including several in the 11' long Laundry room. You can conveniently access the Lanai via sliders from the Family room, Breakfast Nook, Living room, and Owner's Suite, making this a great home for entertaining. Peace of mind updates include A/C (3 years ago); barrel tile roof (5 years); stainless steel range, microwave, & dishwasher (3 years); LG washer & dryer (new); plumbing re-piped, and pool resurfaced. Also, home is not in a flood hazard zone. Manicured yard is accented with classic concrete curbing around all the beds. Low HOA fees allow you the benefit of a deed restricted community, without the costly upkeep of a clubhouse or amenity center. Relax in your own Private Pool, and gaze at the serene water, framed by stately pines. Your toughest decision each day will be deciding which room or area to sit in, to soak up the peaceful views. Pinch yourself, you ARE really home!
