Discover the luxury of Toscana Isles, a gated community that offers the much-desired resort-like living for everyone. Located in Nokomis/North Venice, you are less than 10 minutes to I-75, the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital, shopping and more. Beautifully decorated, this home has been the owner's personal vacation home for a couple of months each year of ownership. Never a rental. The Destin floor plan features large open-concept living that includes the kitchen, dining and great room. The wow factor is entering the home and seeing the expanded lanai, feeling the privacy and then walking into the perfect gathering great room with a 10-foot tray ceiling, making the home feel abundant yet cozy. Custom window coverings and soft paint colors add to the appeal of this welcoming home. Each bedroom has upgraded engineered hardwood flooring, custom window coverings and upgraded ceiling fans. The primary bedroom also has a 10-foot tray ceiling and an ensuite bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, walk-in closets and more. The sliding glass doors leading to the expansive lanai also have custom drapes and a valance. Relaxing on the screened lanai (with pavers), you get the opportunity to admire the peaceful setting with no homes behind you. The three-car garage is spacious for any extra toys or cars and has large storage cabinetry, a utility sink and epoxy flooring that looks brand-new. Toscana Isles welcomes residents of all ages to enjoy its amazing amenities that consist of an almost 8,000-square-foot lakefront amenity center with an activities room, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a stunning infinity-edge pool, tennis and bocce courts and a fire pit to enjoy cool evenings. Toscana Isles is one of the few communities that allow its residents to kayak, canoe, and fish on the lakes within the community. Your pets are welcome here and even have their own park to play in. The HOA fee also includes ground maintenance (mowing, edging and fertilizing of all landscape areas, etc.). Whether you want to kayak on the lake, play bocce ball, relax poolside, or go for a long bike ride throughout the community, you will find something for everyone at Toscana Isles.
