Welcome to 9286 Fleming Lane – an UPGRADED end-unit villa nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within the gated, maintenance-free community of Pennington Place. Uniquely situated on a corner lot with no neighboring home alongside, this move in ready villa features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a den/office, and a 2-car garage — all enhanced by OVER $50, 000 in updates. A NEW ROOF (2023) with new gutters and covers, a NEW HVAC system (2023), a NEWLY EXPANDED SCREENED LANAI (2021), a whole-house water system, new lighting, new bedroom carpeting, and MUCH, MUCH MORE. One of the most impressive features of this home is your own private, newly EXPANDED SCREENED LANAI overlooking the serene, wooded preserve. This oversized outdoor space is significantly larger than most, with a full additional screened cage that nearly doubles the size of the original lanai, creating a second outdoor living area. It features tile flooring throughout and is enhanced with built-in cabinetry with quartz counter space — ideal for entertaining. Just outside, a separate pavered patio adds extra space to enjoy the outdoors. The setting is cozy and peaceful — a private retreat to unwind and take in the natural beauty around you, offering rare views and daily sightings of native Florida birds and wildlife right from your own backyard. Inside, the spacious kitchen is a cook’s dream, designed with space for collaborative cooking and entertaining. It features granite countertops, cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, upgraded lighting above and below the cabinets, a large pantry, an eat-in breakfast area, and a large breakfast bar. A formal dining room adds even more space, and with all the seating options throughout, you can easily host and entertain up to 20 guests. The den/office has been smartly enhanced with an entire wall of custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, making it perfect as a work-from-home space, gym, craft room, or overflow guest room. The spacious owner’s suite is tucked privately at the rear of the home and features a custom California closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom is on the opposite side of the home, right next to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo — providing privacy for family or visitors. Additional features include: Redesigned laundry room with new front-loading washer and dryer, and a smart reconfiguration of cabinetry that creates a tucked-away spot for pet bowls and maximizes usable space; upgraded attic with pull-down stairs, all-new insulation, and new flooring for exceptional storage space above the garage; and a second refrigerator in the garage with its own water line. Pennington Place offers a truly maintenance-free lifestyle with low taxes, no flood zone, and no CDD fees. The affordable monthly HOA fee covers many services, including use of the community pool and spa, cable TV, pest control, exterior painting, irrigation, and lawn care — all designed to keep your home and yard looking great with minimal effort. Enjoy the community pool year-round with both a heater and chiller to maintain ideal water temperature. You’ll also love how pet-friendly this neighborhood is — with plenty of green space and sidewalks, it’s perfect for daily strolls with your furry companions. Just one stoplight from Manasota Beach and historic downtown Venice just a short drive away - Pennington Place truly is a hidden gem in an ideal location!
