1141 SLEEPY HOLLOW Court Under contract-accepting backup offers. **Plot twist: this Venice home has a loft!** Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Pinebrook South, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront home delivers 2, 118 sq. ft. of living space PLUS a feature you probably were not expecting-a private approximately 15' x 9' carpeted loft reached by a spiral staircase. Home office? Art studio? Reading retreat? Hobby headquarters? The possibilities are almost as fun as the staircase. Downstairs, soaring cathedral ceilings, luxury vinyl flooring and a split-bedroom layout create an open, spacious feel. The kitchen and baths feature granite countertops, while the oversized primary suite measures nearly 24' x 13' and includes a walk-in closet and private en suite bath. Both guest bedrooms have built-in closet storage. Then there is the view. The enclosed lanai and open-air patio overlook the lake, creating a front-row seat for Florida sunsets and frequent appearances by eagles, osprey, hawks and roseate spoonbills. No subscription required. Even better: a BRAND-NEW ROOF and NO CDD fee. Pinebrook South amenities include a large heated community pool, clubhouse, shuffleboard courts and a private boat launch on Curry Creek with access to the Gulf of Mexico, all with an annual HOA fee of approximately $501. Minutes from Venice Beach, Historic Downtown Venice, shopping, dining and more. Vacant and easy to show. Come for the lake view, stay for the spiral staircase, and try not to call dibs on the loft before you make it upstairs.
