OPEN HOUSE TODAY, 12:00-2:00 pm, Sat. March 7 VENICE – Like New, Rebuilt! DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH! Get ready to be amazed the moment you step inside this incredible 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a 1-car garage, covered screened lanai, storage shed, and a rare triple-wide driveway with plenty of room for an RV and boat. The screened front entry welcomes you with tasteful rock trim and colorful flowering shrubs, setting the tone for what’s inside. This eye-catching split-plan home was rebuilt to 2010 code after a fire and completed in 2013, expanding the living space from 1,442 to 1,646 square feet under air. The heart of the home is the spacious center-island kitchen, designed for both style and function. It features granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, stainless appliances and faucet, and beautiful cherry wood cabinets with crown molding. Pull-out and slow-close drawers, a pantry, lazy Susan, under-cabinet lighting, and even a TV on the counter add smart convenience. An added serving station with granite and matching cabinetry makes entertaining easy, while the kitchen flows nicely into the large formal dining room. The living room includes a 65-inch TV and shines with a large picture window, custom blinds, a coat closet, and recessed lighting. Tile plank flooring, added electric outlets, and fresh interior and exterior paint complete the clean, modern feel. The 2013 rebuild included new trusses, roof framing, impact windows and doors, AC system, plumbing, insulation with ICYNENE under the main roof, sheetrock, electrical, fixtures, cherry wood doors, and granite counters and vanities throughout. The primary bedroom measures 14x17 and offers recessed lighting, custom blinds, a ceiling fan, and a private ensuite bath. The bath features dual sinks, granite vanity, cherry wood cabinets with pull-out drawers, and a large tiled shower with a seat. The oversized 8x11 closet doubles as a built-in safe room with plywood-lined walls, ceiling, and a solid-core door. Originally built in 1980, Sarasota County lists the effective year built as 2005, and per seller, the home was built to 2010 code. Simply put, it’s better than new. The 12x13 guest room includes a large walk-in closet, ceiling fan, and recessed lighting, with a pocket door to close off the guest side of the home. The guest bath offers a granite vanity, cherry wood cabinetry, pull-out drawers, and a tiled tub and shower combo. A 5x8 laundry room includes a full-size washer and dryer with overhead storage. Just off the kitchen and dining area, a door with built-in blinds leads to the 11x12 covered lanai with indoor-outdoor carpet. Out back, a brick paver patio is perfect for grilling or soaking up the Florida sunshine. The updated well equipment includes a water softener, plus an R/O purification system in the garage. Impact windows and doors are paired with hurricane shutters for added peace of mind. This ideal location is just minutes from Venice Beach, restaurants, schools, and shopping, plus the South Venice Beach Ferry with access to a private dock on Manasota Key. Along the ride, enjoy views of pelicans, eagles, osprey, herons, and dolphins. The nearby civic center offers activities like pickleball and more.
