270 Laurel Hollow Dr #34 Nokomis, FL 34275

HIDDEN QUIET GEM! Why? Because LAUREL HOLLOW is a GATED community of just 93 SPANISH inspired stand alone VILLAS discretely tucked away between the quaint town of VENICE and bustling SARASOTA, under 2 miles to Nokomis BEACH. Currently self managed, it offers a great value with dues just $283.33/month and per the president, healthy reserves. Not only does this particular unit have many expensive updates already done, like NEW CEMENT TILE ROOF 2023, REMODELED KITCHEN and BATH, but it sits just around the bend, a mere 120 STEPS (for me at 5'3") from one of my favorite serene clubhouses and sparkling heated pools. In classic Spanish inspired style, the clubhouse is eye candy to anyone who appreciates the kind of architecture that caresses the soul. Walk through rows of ARCHWAYS gracing the route to the COVERED CABANA for shade from the sun or spread out on the DECKING and SUNBATHE on the lake's edge and enjoy the 3 FOUNTAINS. The BOARDWALK extends to a GAZEBO that in turn extends over the water where you can sit perched above the water or perhaps CATCH and RELEASE FISH in the STOCKED LAKE. I know its only 120 steps home, but spend the day, because the KITCHEN OPENS as an almost OUTDOOR KITCHEN complete with BARBECUE. Luckily on the days when it is too cold to use the outdoor kitchen, or you've had a bit too much sun, you will enjoy cooking in your own beautifully UPDATED KITCHEN. QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS sit on top QUALITY SOLID WOOD Cabinets with lots of SOFT CLOSE DRAWERS. Equipped with all STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES, a center ISLAND with 2 bar stools, a desk area and a custom SECOND PANTRY with even more super efficient ROLE OUTS, you will have plenty of convenient room for your culinary toys and a space to plan your meals and events. The same quality cabinets were used in the updated master bath which offers a SECOND SINK and EXTRA CABINETRY between the master bath and WALK IN CLOSET. It has a WALK IN SHOWER WITH BENCH SEAT, tile floor and linen closet. The master bedroom also has a door leading directly to the lanai. The floorpan offers 2 SEPARATE BEDROOM SUITES each with their own access to the outside making them feel like DOUBLE MASTER SUITES. There is a newer HURRICANE GARAGE DOOR and a MOTORIZED pull down garage screen providing comfort for the busy handy man projects or offering extended space for big gatherings. When its time to venture out from the community, grab your golf cart for the groceries, PUBLIX is just across the street or head less than 2 miles WEST to NOKOMIS BEACH. Out for the night DOWNTOWN VENICE, with its many RESTAURANTS and FESTIVALS and BEACH is just 4 MILES South. 13 miles North is SIESTA KEY and just beyond that is THE VAN WEZEL and a plethora of SARASOTA NIGHTLIFE. If NATURE and Exercise are your focus, OSCAR SHERER PARK is just 3 miles North or Hop on your bike and take THE LEGACY TRAIL all the way to Sarasota. You can't beat the easy access WATER SPORTS with our many MARINAS and BOAT LAUNCHES and JET SKI RENTAL. This is just a great affordable area for the Florida Lifestyle. There is just enough furniture left behind, that you can start enjoying your new place in the sun the day of closing.
