Property Description

Set on one of the most private preserve-view homesites in the Venetian Golf & River Club, this WCI-built Grand Estate offers exceptional space, quality construction, and resort-style living on an oversized lot with no rear neighbors. This spacious single-story home features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a private office, and a large bonus room ideal for a media room, fitness space, den, or optional fourth bedroom. The open WCI floor plan showcases soaring ceilings, crown molding, pocketing sliders, and abundant natural light throughout.
