Want that “Old Florida” beach house vibe but with all the modern amenities? Nestled on a quiet, sought after street on Venice Island is a warm and inviting home seamlessly blending old Florida design with exceptional modern comfort. This 2497 SF move-in-ready Florida home has gone through extensive upgrades/renovations throughout the house. As a one-story 3br/3ba home, it is conveniently located only 2 ½ blocks from Venice Beach, easy walking, golf cart, or biking distance to the historic downtown eating and shopping district, and a short 50-yard stroll to one of only four neighborhood “pocket parks” on the island going back to the 1920s. A semi-circular crushed shell driveway, which surrounds three amazing live oak trees providing a canopy of priceless shade and cool breezes, welcomes you onto an Old Chicago brick front patio, where summer lounging meets a winter night firepit. Step inside to see the attention to detail including all-new 24 x 24 Italian porcelain tiling throughout, a modern kitchen, and a view from front to back towards the recently added salt-water heated pool and spa. Chefs will love this beautifully redesigned kitchen with expansive quartz counter space, boasting new stainless-steel (mostly Bosch) appliances plus a built-in bar fridge. There’s storage abound with floor-to-ceiling and under-island wood cabinetry. A built-in desk area, under-cabinet lighting, tiled backsplashes, and pantry add to the conveniences. Walking through a pair of French doors, you will find a very large family room featuring a beautiful coral stone wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, office nook and a redesigned 3rd full bathroom. A very private and well-sized master bedroom and en-suite bathroom features an integral closet, natural light from multiple windows, and a view of the pool/spa. The completely remodeled master bath includes a double vanity, granite counter, above and below cabinetry, and a walk-in tiled shower. The guest bedroom closets and bathroom retain the old Florida charm from that era incorporating original hand-crafted cabinets. Other important upgrades include replacement of many windows now with hurricane ratings, along with a new metal Craftsman-style front door. The 1-car garage has been expanded into a full 2-car garage with storage cabinets, pull-down access to attic space, epoxy flooring, and a direct-drive garage door opener. You will see a second attic access above the pool area roof gable which provides additional and significant storage capacity. In 2022, a 25-year metal roof was added. The HVAC has been upgraded to five (5), highly efficient Mitsubishi mini-splits with separate controls and thermostats. Save on those utility bills! The sprinkler system has been converted from well to public water, significant sewer re-lining to like-new condition, and all original water lines having been removed and replaced to meet current standards. All windows are covered with plantation shutters which provide a relaxing respite. And, as a bonus, the property is in the “X” flood zone (flood insurance not required) despite its close proximity to the beach! An absolute must see.
