About 233 Portofino Drive

Rare Preserve-View Estate in Venetian Golf & River Club — Elegant Living Meets Exceptional Value. Significant price reduction + seller offering closing credits for flooring updates! Tucked away in one of the most private sections of the coveted Venetian Golf & River Club, this Grand Estate home offers a rare combination of timeless architecture, quality construction, generous indoor-outdoor space, and peaceful preserve views. Set on a larger lot with no rear neighbors, this sprawling single-story residence features 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a dedicated home office, and a versatile bonus room that can easily function as a den, gym, media room—or be converted into a 4th bedroom to suit your lifestyle. From the moment you enter the grand foyer, you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings, refined crown molding, and expansive pocketing sliders that open fully to reveal a screened lanai with serene preserve views. Perfect for those who value privacy, nature, and space, this home feels like a true sanctuary. The chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a pantry closet, and two dining areas—a formal dining room and a casual breakfast nook that overlooks the lanai, perfect for your morning coffee. The primary suite at over 450 Sq Ft is a peaceful retreat, complete with a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, private access to the lanai, and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional guest bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home, each with nearby bathrooms for added privacy and convenience. One of these serves as a full pool bath with direct access to the lanai. Step outside and enjoy the Florida lifestyle from your screened outdoor living space, which includes a heated saltwater pool and spa, dual waterfalls, and lush, refreshed landscaping. The outdoor kitchen features a brand-new built-in gas grill, never used! Beverage fridge, and bar seating—making entertaining effortless. Multiple lounge, dining areas and an oversized umbrella offer plenty of shade and comfort. Additional highlights include a side-entry 3-car garage, two new HVAC systems, fresh interior and exterior paint, and meticulous maintenance throughout—creating a truly move-in-ready experience. Unlike many newer neighborhoods, this home offers a larger lot, quality construction, and a quiet, established setting that’s hard to come by today. Just a short walk from the River Club, residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a tropical pool, lap pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, Tiki bar, restaurant, nature trails, and optional championship golf. Located minutes from I-75, Sarasota Memorial Hospital–Venice, and downtown Venice’s beaches, shops, and restaurants. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat, this is an incredible opportunity to own a beautifully designed, well-built home in a premier gated community—with motivated sellers and real value on offer. Take a second look—this hidden gem may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
