The true showstopper? The grand extended lanai overlooking a private, wooded preserve. This serene, lush backdrop offers unmatched privacy and tranquility, whisking you far from the daily grind while keeping you just moments from endless excitement. Picture your mornings sipping coffee surrounded by gentle wildlife and greenery, hosting lively BBQs with friends against a peaceful forest canvas, or simply unwinding with a book in your own tropical oasis.
Inside, the home glows with upgraded recessed lighting and under-cabinet accents for a warm, contemporary vibe. Elegant plantation shutters in the den and guest room add timeless style, superior light control, and privacy. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring stylish versatile honeycomb window shade, French doors that open to the living area for fluid connection, plus sliding glass doors to the lanai for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Dual closets with custom built-in shelving provide smart, abundant storage.
A den with glass French doors lets in added sunlight and could adapt effortlessly—transform it into a productive home office, cozy reading nook, or additional guest space. The upgraded garage impresses with durable epoxy flooring, custom shelving, and cabinetry, keeping tools, gear, and seasonal items neatly organized.
Location? Unbeatable. Gran Paradiso delivers the traveler’s dream: under 90 minutes to four major airports. You’re just 1 mile to vibrant Downtown Wellen Park for shopping, dining, and entertainment; 9 miles to charming historic downtown Venice with its boutiques and cultural scene; 7 miles to pristine Gulf beaches (with ten stunning options within a quick 15–30-minute drive); and a mere 1.2 miles to a brand-new Costco for effortless stocking up.
This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle of luxury, convenience, and coastal adventure, all wrapped in the peaceful embrace of a gated retreat. Don’t miss your chance to live the Florida dream—schedule your showing today!
