Take the elevator to this beautifully renovated third-floor, two-bedroom, two-bath residence offering a spacious open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, oversized porcelain tile flooring, and sweeping views of the pond and fountain. The kitchen blends modern design with function, featuring quartz countertops, a deep stainless steel sink with a pull-down faucet, a pantry and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. The expansive living room opens to a large, screened lanai where tranquil water views create an inviting backdrop for relaxation or entertaining. The primary bedroom also opens to the lanai and features an elegant en-suite bath with dual sinks and a generous closet. The guest bedroom and bath are privately at the front of the home, providing comfort and convenience for visitors. A private laundry room is located off the lanai, and a dedicated storage space is included within the deeded carport. Thoughtfully updated within the past two years, the residence includes a new water heater, 14 inches of attic insulation for improved energy efficiency, high-efficiency toilets, new vanities, French doors and wood louver doors throughout. The kitchen and baths feature new quartz surfaces, while the primary bath showcases a redesigned shower. All major appliances were installed in 2020, and the entire residence has been freshly painted. Bird Bay Village offers a resort-style lifestyle just moments from downtown Venice. Community amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and courts for tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and bocce. Residents enjoy an active social calendar with yoga classes, art shows and seasonal gatherings. The Legacy Trail, less than a quarter mile away, provides direct access to Venice Island for cycling, recreation and running. Venice Beach and Nokomis Beach are within three miles, offering convenient access to the Gulf’s pristine shoreline.
