Tra Ponti Villaggio Homes for Sale – Venice, Florida 34285

Its great location on East Venice Avenue easily puts Tra Ponti Villagio amongst the vanguard choices in searches of Venice homes for sale. It is located right at the south entrance of Venice Island, occupying most of the northwest block of East Venice Avenue parallel with Tampa Avenue East.

This site spreads just after the middle bridge of Venice Island, and a short distance north of it comes another span on the Tamiami Trail serving as a northward link to the mainland. It is precisely from this unique location that the developers of the community drew the Tra Ponti Villaggio name which in Italian means “village between bridges.”

Courtyard Homes and Townhouses

Tra Ponti Villaggio was developed with 19 single-family courtyard homes plus four three-story townhomes. The developer of this community is Mike Smith of the Sarasota-based MPS Contractors.

For this development, Smith corroborated with another prominent local developer, Mike Miller, whose prior projects in Venice included the residential communities of Waterford Golf Course and Magnolia Park. Significantly, Miller was also the developer of the Waterfront on Venice Island, a mid-rise condominium complex directly adjacent north of Tra Ponti Villaggio.

A bit westward still, some seven miles of pristine Gulf beaches spread to provide not only the archetypal water-based leisure activities of swimming, fishing, surfing, and diving. Simply soaking up the sun in the local beaches could also extend to hunts for pre-historic, fossilized shark teeth for which the coastline of Venice has become popular.
