Welcome to this incredibly unique and lovely home sitting on over 3 acres of natural beauty. A circular driveway welcomes you to what is lovingly called "The Empire" by its current owner's visitors. This home and its serene natural "old Florida" setting are breathtaking and it simply must be experienced. If you are looking for a home that has that cozy and comfortable yet spacious feel, this is the one! Walk through the double front doors to a very open and spacious floor plan with generous room sizes and many windows offering an abundance of natural light. Choose to sit in the large front gathering room for conversation, or choose the inviting great room with wood burning fireplace and built in seating, a great place to read a book or gaze out at nature. The kitchen opens to this great room so you won't miss what's going on with your family and friends! The quaint and cozy dining room is also very elegant for those candle lit dinners or a perfect spot for morning brunch. Then there is the INCREDIBLE pool area! If you are looking for a large pool, you've found it! This freeform pool with spa is perfect for an anytime swim. The large pool enclosure has recently been rescreened, and after that swim, grab your favorite libation and appetizer and sit outside under the covered lanai, and take in all the beauty of this setting before you. This peaceful and tranquil setting is so private, you will feel like you are on a vacation far away! A true Oasis! The interior of the home is complete with large tile floors throughout most of the home, high ceilings, and the kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and ample counter space. The staircase takes you up to the en-suite master bedroom that walks out to a sun deck that brings the outside in to enjoy a new morning or evening retreat before turning out the lights. There are 3 additional bedrooms with two being on the main floor. Additional features include a fenced in area for pets, an abundance of storage closets, main floor laundry and two car garage with the third bay area that was turned into an air conditioned office (by the previous owner) and could possibly be changed back for that additional 3rd car bay. Large windows and Plantation shutters throughout are some of the extras that complete this home. Add your own personal design where desired to make this home your very own! This home has had an attentive, wonderful owner for several years and has been improved and maintained which will be a benefit to the new owner! Privacy abounds yet you are close to beaches, shopping, interstate, the new Sarasota Hospital, and every other convenience Venice has to offer! No CDD. Low HOA. Don't miss your opportunity to call this extraordinary property your "Empire".
