IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! NEW PRICE AND NEW PAINT. Villa has fresh, neutral interior paint. This is not your mother's villa! One of the most unique and desirable villas located on a quiet, private cul-de-sac. Lush, tropical landscape adds seclusion between lanais and backs up to a Wetlands Preserve, and Lake of the Woods beyond. The extensive landscaping features curbed planting islands featuring orchids and native flora. This Venice Area Garden Club Tour of Homes venue was the only Southwood villa ever selected. The breakfast room view features a tangelo tree with naturalized orchids and stag horn ferns, with another dozen prize-worthy orchids around the home. The interior decor of this 2 bedroom plus den, 2 bath, 2 car garage home was done by a professional artist focusing on a true tropical Florida theme. No carpets - laminate and tile throughout. Lots of custom built-ins for extra storage. Hard surface countertops in the kitchen with refaced cabinets and soft-close drawers. Just off the breakfast room is the tiled Florida room with sliding windows to the caged lanai. The room's northern exposure keeps the room cool and airy. Tile roof and H2O tank (2018), and HVAC (2016). Located near Venice and Englewood beaches, stores and restaurants. Close to the Atlanta Braves new spring training stadium. Ready to move into today. Many custom features and unique finishes. Request ‘Owner Upgrades' document in Attachments. Southwood is a very socially active community with a heated, community pool.
