Both guest bedrooms are nicely sized, with one offering a walk-in closet. The guest bathroom is equally well finished, with a fully tiled design, tile extending halfway up the walls, and a frameless glass walk-in shower, providing a polished and comfortable space for guests.

Just beyond the screened area, a spacious custom paver patio offers multiple entertaining zones, including a firepit, cooking area, and a pergola perfectly positioned to overlook the water. Winding walking paths lead you through the property, some accented with flagstone pavers and decorative stone and others finished with classic pavers, guiding you to the newer dock with boat lift. From here, set out on daily adventures with no bridges to slow you down, heading south toward Stump Pass and Boca Grande or north toward Venice and Sarasota.

This exceptional home at 1393 Forked Creek Drive truly offers it all and is ideally located between Venice and Englewood, placing local dining, shopping, and entertainment just minutes away.
