One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This incredible and truly 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, plus art studio, plus workshop and huge parklike backyard and large pool. Originally built in 1952 but we have extensively remodeled over nearly 4 decades and added major additions including a large guest bedroom with a nursery with its own private entrance as well as a pool cabana with a large art studio and a large workshop. Located in the original Venezia Park neighborhood, you are surrounded by many almost 100 year old homes with their Northern Italian architectural design. What you will probably love most is this location; Only 1/2 block to West Blaylock Park and Arboretum and only 1/2 block to Venezia Park and playground both with picnic areas and walking trail. Just about 3 blocks away is the Venice Cultural Campus with a new Venice Library ,the Venice Art Center, The Venice Community Center and the Historic 100 year old Triangle Inn now the Venice History Center. Its an easy stroll of about 4 blocks to historic downtown Venice with its shops, excellent restaurants and galleries. And Venice Beach is just about 4 5 blocks away. If you want to take a bike ride you are only about 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 a some 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 mail living areas and all copper water lines have been re piped with PEX pipe. The roof is 8 years old. The air conditioner is less than 1 year old. The pool pump and filter is about 1 year old. And most importantly the many windows and doors are all hurricane impact rated. The attic is extremely large with abundant storage space too. This property is nearly one half acre plus a large front lot line easement and sits on TWO Island lots 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 Island 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 trees, amazing and colorful flowers, plants and spectacular sunsets into the home. There is just a very special energy in this impressive home. This is truly a very special and amazing Island home and lots. So come and see for yourself. You will certainly be glad you did. Thanks.
