Welcome to Hourglass Lakes, the "Hidden Gem" of South Venice! The moment you enter this wonderful, all-ages community of 80 villas, you'll realize this place is truly special! Quietly located towards the back of the community, as you step through the enclosed front porch of this updated two bedroom, two bath, two car garage villa, you'll notice the quality of the workmanship throughout this lovely home. Luxury flooring, brand new ceiling fans, professional painting, six-panel doors, recessed lighting, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen - it's all been done! This home features a gated lanai/courtyard off of the kitchen (and master suite) for that early morning coffee and croissant, a covered patio/lanai off of the dining area for outdoor relaxation, a bonus room adjoining the living room that can be used as a den, family room, or office - it could even be converted into a third bedroom! The master and second bedroom are located at opposite ends of the home, and a six-panel pocket door closes off the guest suite and bathroom for total privacy! Closet space abounds here with a large coat closet in the foyer, linen closets in both the master bath and guest areas, a huge master walk-in closet, large guest bedroom closet - there is even attic access with pull-down stairs for additional storage! A convenient utility sink is located in the freshly painted, oversized two car garage, as well as space for a workbench/tool chest, bikes, or just more space to put all of your stuff! Even the HVAC and hot water heater are conveniently located and easily accessible in a utility nook in the garage! The large laundry/mud room has plenty of space for a counter, shelves, or more cabinets. The large eat-in kitchen boasts new shaker cabinetry with loads of space, LED overhead lighting, new appliances, convenient pull-out faucet/sprayer for the sink, disposal, and over-the-range microwave oven. Outdoors, adjustable Bahama shutters keep the rooms cool while still allowing a view and light to enter this truly amazing home. Even the screened front porch entry is well thought out - awesome for keeping those Amazon deliveries out of the elements! New electrical panel in 2023. HVAC and hot water heater replaced in 2016. Many furnishings can be negotiated if desired. The low Hourglass Lakes association fee includes use of the private heated (and cooled in summer) pool and spa at the clubhouse, management services, and landscaping services - so no more lawn cutting or trimming - it is done for you! This active community has book clubs, craft clubs, games/cards, monthly activities, parties, cookouts, ROMEOS/JULIETS, music video bingo, and more! There is even a wonderfully done newsletter that keeps residents up on community news and events!
