5059 Southern Pine Cir., Venice, FL 34293

The popular community of Southwood is the setting for this almost 2500 SF custom Arthur Rutenberg home, which features a gorgeous lake view that will steal your gaze as soon as you open the double front doors. Look directly through the formal living room to the expansive lanai, then to the recently re-marcited, self cleaning, solar heated pool with favored southern exposure. Relax in total privacy, and capture the priceless view of the water, with a wooded preserve beyond, and no neighbors looking back at you. You may not want to go back inside! The seasonal owners just installed a new roof for peace of mind, and the A/C is only 4 years old. There is also an electric pool heater for backup service. Your galley kitchen, with newer appliances (dishwasher & disposal are brand new) opens to the casual family room with wet bar and wood-burning fireplace. There is breakfast bar seating and an adjoining dinette room for most meals. You also have a formal dining room for those special occasions. The huge master bedroom has sliders to the lanai, walk-in closets, and a bath with dual vanities, glass shower, and soaking tub. There are 2 guest bedrooms in the split plan layout, and the convenient laundry room has a new washer, storage cabinets, and a utility sink. An oversized 2 car garage completes the picture. Mature landscaping shrubs and trees, along with classic concrete curbing finishes the Florida living experience. Your new home is located near shopping, restaurants, and world famous beaches. Welcome home!
