11 WINDWARD PL Placida, FL 33946

This gorgeous patio home is located in Windward, a deed-restricted neighborhood that is literally surrounded by scenic golf course fairways and fresh-water lakes. All utilities are underground, and every home has passed high architectural standards that include tile roofs and lush subtropical landscaping. The predominant style of homes here is Spanish-Mediterranean. These are a few of the qualities that contribute to the postcard-perfect, picturesque quality of this highly desirable neighborhood. The location is also exceptional. It’s just 3 doors down from a quiet cul-de-sac that juts out into the golf course, so there is no thru-traffic. The backyard borders a park-like setting that is owned, manicured and maintained by the golf course. Because it is the rough area of the golf course, it provides privacy in perpetuity as well as tranquil views from the interior, lanai and pool deck. The interior is likewise picture-perfect. Features include lead-glass entry doors, rounded corners, arched entries and accents, 16’ diagonal tile throughout the living areas, tray ceilings with crown-molding, and plantation shutters. The living and formal dining rooms are oversized with an open floor plan. The kitchen features solid surface counters, a huge closet pantry and built-in desk. The dinette features large aquarium windows overlooking the pool area and rustic, park-like scenery beyond the backyard. Along with large glass sliders and transom windows, these illuminate the home with soft, natural lighting throughout the day. The laundry room is oversized and features high-end appliances. There is also a glass sliding door that provides easy access from the pool deck to the master bath. Exterior features include an extra tall garage that could accommodate ample storage large-ticket items such as kayak and bike racks. The attractive, white tile roof provides a Mediterranean flair, extended durability, and cooling properties. The centerpiece of the front yard is a majestic oak tree that also shelters the front of the home with cool shade during the summer months. The lanai and pool area are surrounded by beauty. With no neighbors behind you, it is also very private. The high-end pool cage was designed in such a way it gives the illusion there is an attractive white-picket fence surrounding the perimeter. The pool is heated for year-round comfort. The waterfall spa provides deep relaxation and soothing sounds that create a resort-like ambiance that you can enjoy inside or out. The chrome hand rail offers an additional touch of class. This 2/2/2 home was originally designed to have 3 bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom has been reconfigured for use as a home-office. It features large bay windows, and a built-in desk with accent lights. This room could be converted back to a 3rd bedroom by converting this desk area to a closet. This home belongs to 2 homeowners associations. The Windward HOA is $190 annually. The “Windward Patio Association” dues are $425 quarterly.
