Set against a private, natural backdrop with views of the white tees on the 17th fairway, 342 Melrose invites you to enjoy the best of Florida living from your own poolside retreat. Relax on the spacious lanai overlooking the pool and spa, or take in the peaceful golf-course setting from the comfort of this beautifully maintained home in Venice Golf & Country Club.
