966 Sand Cay E, Venice, FL 34285

966 Sand Cay E. sits in the active 55+ community of Bay Indies, just two miles from the sugar‑soft beaches of the Gulf Coast, where every day feels like a vacation. This beautifully furnished triple‑wide home is wrapped in lush landscaping, framed by two graceful palms swaying above a stone planter, and positioned in one of the most convenient locations in the community. Step out your door and stroll one direction to the three‑mile walking and biking path, or wander the other way to reach one of three heated pools and the connected clubhouse, all within easy walking distance. The covered carport leads to a private screen room trimmed with lattice, offering a breezy spot to relax before entering the oversized storage and laundry area. Here you'll find a full sink, W/D, abundant shelving for bikes and beach gear, and an extra refrigerator. A brand‑new set of steps with a landing welcomes you inside, opening directly into a kitchen that feels both modern and warm. Real butcher block counters, a sea‑glass backsplash, white shaker cabinets, a farmer's sink, stainless steel appliances, 2 pantries, a broom closet, and a movable island create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. The kitchen flows into a dining area anchored by an impressive table that easily seats six to eight with leaves inserted, complemented by a full‑wall built‑in buffet with storage. The living room continues the sense of scale, providing room with multiple sofas, chairs, and entertainment pieces, all bathed in natural light from newer double‑pane windows. Throughout the home, thoughtful upgrades shine; ship‑lap chair railings, raised panel doors, molding, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that ties everything together with a soft, beach‑inspired palette. Important updates have already been handled, including an eight‑year‑old TPO roof, a 2022 A/C system, and professional leveling after Hurricane Ian, giving peace of mind for years to come. The guest bedroom is fully furnished with a queen bed, generous walk-in closet, and a built-in six‑drawer dresser. The main bath features a tiled tub/shower, a stylish vanity with glass backsplash, a charming tin ceiling, and a double linen closet. The master suite offers a king bed, full furnishings, and a private ensuite with a large vanity, expansive walk‑in closet, additional linen closet, and a separate wet room with a tiled walk‑in shower and flush. One of the most beloved spaces in the home sits just off the living room - an enclosed sunroom currently used as an office, though its possibilities are endless. With windows, screens, and sliders that open to the outdoors, it becomes a seamless extension of the living space. Beyond it lies another enclosed lanai with a tiled floor and side to side fiberglass windows and screens, leading out to a paved patio perfect for morning coffee or BBQ. This home offers a rare combination of generous indoor living, multiple outdoor retreats, and a furnished interior that invites you to settle in from the moment you arrive. Its soft coastal colors, abundant natural light, and thoughtful layout create an atmosphere of calm and comfort. Bay Indies places you at the heart of coastal charm, with waterfront dining, boutique shopping, cultural events, and pristine beaches. Three nearby airports make travel a breeze. Within the community, a world of resort style amenities await. Relax in one of three heated pools, serve up a game of pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard or horseshoes.
