This condo is prime in every way, pleasantly decorated with 10' high ceilings and 8' doors. In the kitchen and bathrooms, tiled floors, granite countertops and solid wood cabinets provide efficient environments and ample storage space – all the kitchen appliances are newer, as are the washer and dryer. There are two dining areas, one is the breakfast nook and the second can be used for formal dining or as an office, a third bedroom or a mix of uses. Both bedrooms have large walk in closets. The master bedroom has direct access to the lanai and an ensuite, four piece bathroom. The guest bedroom has semi private access to a three piece bathroom. The Ruud air conditioning and Storm Smart Hurricane shutters were new in 2022 – and the latter proved their worth as the unit sustained no damage during Hurricane Ian. You will not believe how spacious this condo really is; the great room is large and opens onto the exceptional lanai through sliding doors and overlooks the canal and the lake to the south and east. There is a garage underneath the building which can house one SUV sized vehicle or two small cars in tandem; it also has been recently fitted with power and new lighting. The beautiful gated community of Vivante, with all its amenities, beckons you. There are 2 pools, 6 Har-Tru tennis courts, a cabana, gas grills, two fireplaces and a superb clubhouse with full entertaining facilities. On the ground floor of the clubhouse, there are lounge, TV, card, billiards and craft rooms, a library and wifi media centre and management's office. On the upper floor, you'll find fitness facilities, the spa and men's and women's locker rooms with sauna and steam rooms - the fitness room overlooks the pool and larger lake. Vivante is 3 miles from beautiful, historic Punta Gorda and Tamiami Trail, 7 from I75, a couple of hours from Naples and Sarasota and just three hours from the Mouse. Far enough from all that to be tranquil yet close enough for all the fun stuff to be quickly accessible. Hurry; this one is BRILLIANT!!!
