Back on market! Your own private Florida oasis awaits. Located minutes from Venice Beach, this 2-bedroom/2-bath home sits on an oversized lot (9,753 square feet) with a huge fenced backyard complete with a sparkling caged pool. There is plenty of space in the back to expand the house or build another room. With the owners' great attention to detail, this charming property is move-in ready: new paint inside and out (2020), including pool deck, plumbing repiped, updated garage door and opener, hurricane shutters, garden shed, and bonus framed metal structure for either a carport or gazebo. A white fence surrounds the front porch entry area - perfect as a private gathering spot for morning coffee and/or a welcoming garden. This leads into the open interior plan of the home, with hardwood floors in the living room and dining room, tile in the kitchen and family room, newer carpet in the bedrooms, natural light through large front windows in the living area, and warm neutral colors. Features inside include an indoor laundry room, kitchen breakfast bar, cedar closet for storage, and efficient AC (2011) throughout, as well as recent updates including a new front screened door (2020), GE refrigerator (2020), and Hotpoint dryer (2019). Bring your own personal design touches and make this house your home near the beach. Close to 41/Tamiami Trail, you'll find easy access to everything you need - beaches, shopping, schools, hospitals, and wonderful restaurants and shops on Venice Island.
