10496 CROOKED CREEK Drive, Venice, FL, 34293

**TURNKEY FURNISHED** Welcome to Sarasota National, one of Venice's premier resort lifestyle communities, where this lakefront home delivers move-in ready comfort behind a classic Mediterranean facade. A barrel tile roof, paver driveway, arched covered entry, and lush tropical landscaping frame the front of the home, while a wide, sparkling lake view stretches across the back, catching the light from sunrise to sunset. Inside, just under 1,600 square feet lives beautifully, with diagonal-set tile flowing through an open great room layout. The kitchen anchors the space with crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, a stone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a closet pantry, and a generous island with pendant lighting and seating for casual meals. Graceful archways connect the kitchen to the dining area and laundry room, and the family room opens through sliding glass doors to the lanai, pulling that lake view into everyday life. The owner's suite sits privately at the rear with a walk-in closet and a bath featuring a dual-sink granite vanity and a tiled walk-in shower with decorative listello accent. At the front of the home, the second bedroom enjoys dual windows and sits steps from a full guest bath. This home has been meticulously cared for. The A/C was replaced just one year ago, the water heater about two years ago, and the plumbing has been redone in the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry. Additional upgrades include a Culligan reverse osmosis water filtration system, plantation shutters across the front of the home, hurricane shutters, added gutters and roof vents, and tile grout professionally cleaned and sealed throughout. Out back, the screened lanai offers a paver deck and ceiling fan, an ideal perch for morning coffee or evening breezes over the water. Beyond your door, Sarasota National spans 2,400 gated acres within an Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and the HOA covers lawn care, cable, internet, trash, and full access to the Palm Club, a 32,000 square foot amenity campus with a resort pool featuring lap lanes, spa, and beach entry, a poolside tiki bar, full-service dining with bar and lounge, a state-of-the-art fitness center with group classes and spa treatment rooms, plus tennis, pickleball, bocce, an event lawn, and a dog park. This home sits on the amenity side of the community, so there are no required golf dues, while the 18-hole championship course remains available to enjoy. From here you are minutes to historic downtown Venice, the shops and restaurants of Wellen Park, Braves spring training at CoolToday Park, and the Gulf beaches that define this stretch of coast. Come experience the view, the community, and the ease of living here for yourself. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.**
