Just .8 miles to the Venice Art Center, 1.1 miles to the quaint downtown Venice shopping & dining area, 1.5 miles to public tennis courts & 2 miles to the popular Venice Beach, this property offers a fantastic location to enjoy so many nearby outdoor attractions! Venice offers an ideal location on the gorgeous Gulf coast of SWFL, conveniently located between Sarasota & the exciting new Wellen Park area, within 10 miles, offers a state of the art Atlanta Braves training facility & 80 acre lake around a vibrant downtown area. Beautiful glass doors welcome you into a sitting area with a large living room, newer kitchen with breakfast bar and a dining area with an adjacent additional serene reading room or home office. Two ample sized bedrooms and a bath are perfect for this beach house. An additional bath is located next to the laundry area, and although basic, it's perfect for showering after a fun day at one of the many nearby gulf beaches. A brand new 2.5 ton Bryant A/C with UV light, 2023 blown in attic insulation, newer equipped kitchen, newer laminate flooring in the kitchen/dining area & tile floors everywhere else, make this a perfect beach retreat. A Hunter irrigation system supplied by a well provides water for the yard and there is a built in raised hot tub in the backyard. A portable gas generator with a power source and sunroom/lanai furniture remain with the house. The lot will need some landscaping to make it pristine again & if desired, a pool would fit nicely on this generous lot. ** Please note that the seller will need to find suitable housing before moving, therefore a closing with a possible 60 day lease back would be desirable & well in advance of new owner desiring occupancy for the winter season**.
