As an end unit, this condo offers the added benefit of extra windows, allowing natural light to pour in from multiple angles. This feature enhances the unit's open, airy atmosphere, giving it the feel of a single-family home with an abundance of space and light.

Enhanced for peace of mind, the condo is equipped with hurricane windows and doors, and benefits from a newer HVAC system installed in 2020. Newly installed luxury vinyl flooring extends throughout the living areas, where expansive sliders open to a generous balcony. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and an expansive breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. Wake up each morning to breathtaking Intracoastal views in the serene primary suite, which offers direct access to the balcony. A tray ceiling adds a touch of luxury, while two spacious closets provide ample storage. The ensuite bathroom completes this retreat with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and an expansive tile shower. The secondary bedroom at the front of the unit features a Jack & Jill bathroom with direct access from the bedroom and convenient hallway access for guests. For added convenience, under-building parking with an assigned spot ensures your vehicle is secure while providing easy access to your unit. Embrace the island lifestyle, where sparkling Intracoastal views stretch endlessly before you. This beautifully maintained community, recently refreshed with a modern repaint, offers a range of carefully curated amenities, including a heated saltwater pool, a gazebo with a grill, a kayak launch, a fishing pier, and a private, short-term dock for owners. Located just one block from the Historic District, this prime spot allows you to stroll to Venice Theatre, charming boutique shops, delightful restaurants, and Centennial Park. Experience the vibrant local culture with Saturday morning Farmers Markets, various open-air concerts, and festivals, as well as the annual Christmas parade through downtown Venice. Plus, you'll have direct access to the Venetian Waterway Trail, which seamlessly connects to the Legacy Trail. With Venice Beach less than a mile away, your coastal dreams are within reach.
