About this home
Tucked away in a peaceful, private setting overlooking the tranquil, shimmering lagoon - with its abundant fish, birds, and aquatic life - this beautifully updated 3 Bed/2 Bath villa in the premier GULF FRONT property of Whispering Sands offers the perfect blend of comfort, style and serenity. Step inside to discover a bright NEW kitchen featuring new granite countertops, stainless appliances, recessed & under cabinet lighting and an open, inviting feel ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. Engineered wood flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by neutral paint tones, new interior doors, and thoughtfully updated baths with granite counters, new vanities and modern fixtures. A spacious screened brick paver lanai extending the full length of the residence may well be the star of the show, creating an ideal private indoor-outdoor living space to relax and enjoy the lush tropical surroundings. A private fenced brick paver patio offers an additional retreat for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply unwinding in the Florida sunshine. Additional upgrades include a newly painted 1-car garage with new full-sized washer and dryer and new sink. The freshly painted front door, new screen door - along with a brick paver sidewalk and driveway - enhance the home’s welcoming curb appeal. Newly painted exterior in 2025.

Enter through main entrance. At stop sign, turn right onto Hourglass Way. This villa is the very last villa on the left, facing the lagoon. The garage faces Hourglass Way. The front door faces the lagoon.
