Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Hey, don't skip this very special Island of Venice home because of its age. Come, take a visit in this beautifully remodeled Island home. But, you will want to stay when you experience the amazing back yard! This home was constructed with some of the finest native materials to withstand the Florida climate. Modern assembly-line construction techniques and materials lack the quality and craftsmanship of the earlier days.
This incredible, unique home is perhaps the most ideal location on the Island of Venice. This exceptional 2220 sq. ft. home features: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, plus office, art studio, workshop and huge parklike backyard with an extra large, deep pool. Built in 1952 but has been extensively remodeled. Major additions added: large guest bedroom w/ a nursery or office with its own private entrance, a pool cabana with a large art studio and large workshop. Almost the entire interior including ceilings was repainted in August 25, over $25K of landscaping was recently completed.
Located in the original Venezia Park neighborhood, you are surrounded by many 100 year old homes with their Northern Italian architecture. What you will probably love most is this amazing location; Only 1/2 block to West Blaylock Park and Arboretum and 1/2 block to Venezia Park and playground both with picnic areas & walking trail. About 3 blocks away is the Venice Cultural Campus with a new Venice Library, the Venice Art Center, the Venice Community Center & Historic 100 year old Triangle Inn now the Venice History Center. Its an easy stroll of 4 blocks to historic downtown Venice with its shops, excellent restaurants, galleries and Venice Theatre. Venice Beach is just about 4-5 blocks away. If you want to take a bike ride you are only 6 blocks to the beautiful Venetian Waterway Trail that connects to the popular Legacy Trail in downtown Venice at the historic train station.
The kitchen is all newer as are most of the household appliances. All closets are cedar-lined wood. There is crown molding in almost every room. There are original wood ceilings in some of the main living areas and all copper water lines have been re-piped with PEX pipe. The roof is 9 years old. The A.C. is less than 2 years old.
The pool is perhaps the largest in all of Venice (38x18) and 9 feet deep. The pool pump and filter are about 2 years old. And most importantly the many windows and doors are all hurricane impact rated. The attic is extremely large with abundant storage space too with heart of yellow pine roof decking.
You won't find the privacy and convenience of this TWO LOT Island paradise anywhere on the Island. This property is nearly one half acre plus a large front lot line easement with sidewalks and sits with a large circular drive. The back yard is extremely large and private with ample room for possible detached garage with guest quarters and/or an accessory dwelling unit which are permitted in the City of Venice. You could make this a large family compound with this extra large and premium 2 lot location.
Come and take a look today. You will be enchanted by all of the light that fills every room and the many windows and French doors letting in the beautiful sunlight, the Florida native greenery, mature trees, amazing colorful flowers, plants and spectacular sunsets into the home.
There is just a very special feeling in this impressive home along with its beautiful location. So come and see for yourself. You will certainly be glad you did.
