Coffee on the lanai, a morning bike ride, and a swim before dinner—the best parts of the day can happen close to home. On a spacious corner lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, this Laurel Woodlands home pairs airy gathering spaces with a private pool and a fenced yard that extends outdoor living beyond the screen. Start breakfast in the nook or pull up to the kitchen bar, where white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a connection to the adjoining living area keep conversation flowing. Soaring ceilings and views toward the pool lend a sense of openness, while the separate dining space invites you to linger over dinner with friends. A second sitting area gives you a place to read or catch up away from the television. Three bedrooms, a den, and two-and-a-half baths offer flexibility for guests, working from home, or a favorite hobby. The primary suite opens to the lanai, making a quiet moment beside the water an easy beginning or ending to your day. Outside, move between sunshine and the shade of the covered lanai. Roll out a yoga mat, take a swim, or bring dinner outdoors. Solar and electric pool-heating options add flexibility through the seasons, and the fenced yard offers room to play beyond the pool enclosure. An evening stroll along neighborhood sidewalks adds another way to unwind. With approximately 110 homes, mature oaks and palms, and low HOA fees, Laurel Woodlands offers an established setting with everyday conveniences within reach. Spend a beach day at Nokomis Beach, ride The Legacy Trail from Laurel Park, or head to downtown Venice for independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and the Saturday farmers market. Oscar Scherer State Park adds hiking and kayaking on South Creek, while access to I-75 and Sarasota Memorial Hospital–Venice brings practical convenience. Come home with sandy shoes or fresh market finds—and a poolside evening still ahead.
