Welcome to the Venetian Golf & River Club—where luxury meets livability. This beautifully updated Cambrio Grand Estate by WCI offers five spacious bedrooms, four full baths, a dedicated office, and a three-car garage—perfect for a growing family or hosting cherished visits from grandchildren. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper, with quartz countertops and backsplash, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, built-in double ovens, wine refrigerator, five-burner gas stove with designer hood, and a generous center island—perfect for gathering and entertaining. Slide open the pocketing doors and step into the lanai—where indoor coziness meets outdoor bliss. The summer kitchen shines with fresh updates, including new countertops, stone base, refrigerator, and a revamped grill ready for your next cookout. Whether you're hosting friends, dining under the stars, or lounging poolside, the oversized saltwater pool and spa deliver fun and relaxation in equal measure.

The private primary suite delivers with a tranquil sitting area, tray ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and seamless lanai access. The spa-like bath offers double vanities, a garden tub, and a walk-in shower that balances elegance with practicality. Upstairs, a flexible game/media room with its own bedroom and bath opens onto a balcony overlooking the heated saltwater pool, spa, and full outdoor kitchen—ready for celebrations, weekend visits, or everyday enjoyment. This beautifully upgraded home features luxury vinyl flooring flowing from the stairs to the upstairs living area, crown molding, surround sound, central vacuum, circulating hot water, and three-zone AC. But the real magic happens beyond the front door. Here, every day is a celebration: optional private golf membership at Heritage Golf’s Chip Powell Championship course, Tru-Har tennis courts, pickleball, fitness center, resort-style and lap pools, full-service tiki bar, and fine dining at the River Club with on-going ever-happening entertainment! Imagine yourself living here and experiencing all these amenities combined to being conveniently located to downtown charming Venice, the developing area of Wellen Park, the beaches of Nokomis and Venice, as well as Sarasota's renowned cultural attractions.
