Avelina 12581 Meribel St, Venice, FL 34293

A coastal-inspired model home in Avelina, a boutique gated enclave in Wellen Park. Avelina consists of 96 single-family homes with British West Indies and coastal-style architecture, creating an atmosphere of casual elegance. This gated, maintenance-assisted neighborhood offers five spacious floorplans ranging from 2,327 to 2,762 sq. ft., each thoughtfully designed for upscale living. Homes feature 3 to 4 bedrooms (all with 3-car garages standard) and open-concept layouts ideal for entertaining. As a more intimate community, Avelina does not have its own large amenity center – instead, it appeals to those seeking a low-maintenance, boutique lifestyle with the perks of Wellen Park at their fingertips. The HOA handles lawn and landscape care, so residents can spend their time enjoying nearby parks, trails, and the attractions of Downtown Wellen rather than yard work. Avelina’s model home renderings emphasize bright, open interiors and expansive outdoor living spaces, reflecting the neighborhood’s emphasis on luxury finishes and indoor-outdoor flow. In short, Avelina gives you “the very best of Florida living” – a phrase often used to describe it – in a private, easy-to-manage package.

Five distinct floorplans are offered, each single-family one or two-story. Examples include a 3 BR / 3 BA ranch (~2,327 sq. ft.) featuring a grand great room and den, and a 4 BR / 3 BA two-story plan (~2,762 sq. ft.) with a first-floor owner’s suite and bonus loft. All homes boast 3-car garages, gourmet kitchens, and large covered lanais. Buyers can personalize interiors with upscale finishes (tray ceilings, tile flooring, etc.). The British West Indies design influence means inviting façades with paver driveways, tropical landscaping, and charming front porches or double-door entries.

Amenities: (Avelina has no on-site clubhouse to maintain its boutique feel, but residents enjoy nearby Wellen Park amenities and maintenance-free perks.)

• Gated Entry & Green Spaces: Avelina’s gated entrance (with an elegant landscaped boulevard) provides privacy and security. Inside, pocket parks and walking sidewalks enhance the neighborhood charm.
• Maintenance-Assisted Living: The HOA includes lawn and landscaping maintenance, so all yards and common areas are lush and well-kept year-round. Homeowners have more free time to relax or explore Wellen Park.
• Proximity to Recreation: Located adjacent to CoolToday Park (Atlanta Braves’ Spring Training stadium) and near Downtown Wellen, Avelina residents are minutes from baseball games, live music events, food truck rallies, and the lakefront pedestrian paths. Additionally, community parks, playgrounds, and biking trails are easily accessible in the greater Wellen Park area.
• Future Community Connectivity: Avelina will tie into Wellen Park’s extensive network of walking/biking trails, making it easy to golf-cart or bike to other neighborhoods, schools, and shopping centers. (Staying active is effortless when nature trails are right outside your door.)
