Villa Fessler Escape SOL-34918

As you step through the doors of Fessler Escapes, a sense of calm and tranquility washes over you. The two-story foyer welcomes you into a spacious living area with opulent wooden floors, plush leather sofas, and unique furnishings, creating a sense of charm and character that sets this home apart. When you move through to the idyllic covered outdoor deck, you’ll be mesmerised by the far-reaching views of Lemon Bay. With a bistro table and comfy lounge chairs, you’ll be spending long, hazy afternoons out here soaking up the sultry Florida sunshine. Inside, the formal dining area is a showstopper, with dimmable modern lighting and quirky travel-inspired decor creating an eclectic yet harmonious dining setting. The chef’s dream kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, bar-height seating for four, and louvred shutters with sweeping 180-degree views over the glittering pool and Lemon Bay. With four contemporary-style bedrooms, each offers its own charm and character. The owner’s stateroom is a true retreat, with a king-size bed, a rare carved Balinese console table, and a private terrace with endless panoramas over Lemon Bay. Relax in the large jetted tub or enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the sensational peach-tinted sunsets.

One of the most unique features of Fessler Escapes is its sultry outdoor space. The double-story lanai is roomy yet feels private, with custom LED lighting controlled by remote, a spectacular saltwater pool, and a shaded outdoor dining area. Perched on the chalky-white sands of Manasota Beach, you’re just a short hop from the beach here. Dip your toes in the sand or jump on a kayak for some coastal exploration. Next door is the charming town of Venice, with seafood shacks, upscale restaurants, ice cream parlours, and boutique shops spilling over the historical Main Street.
