Description

It's How you chose to live the rest of your life.... Stuck in the snow drifts and dank depressing life of long grungy Northern winters and or another year at a lifeforce sucking job? Why Not Head to Freedom! Picture yourself in postcard palm swaying weather of sunny South Venice Florida. This immaculate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home with a 2 car garage, 8000 square foot lot and a pool rarely becomes available under $400k! Imagine relaxing by the screened-in-pool with an ice cold drink...It's How you chose to live the rest of your life.... Stuck in the snow drifts and dank depressing life of long grungy Northern winters and or another year at a lifeforce sucking job? Why Not Head to Freedom! Picture yourself in postcard palm swaying weather of sunny South Venice Florida. This immaculate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home with a 2 car garage, 8000 square foot lot and a pool rarely becomes available under $400k! Imagine relaxing by the screened-in-pool with an ice cold drink and steak! This abode has been lovingly babied by the same now retired couple for the past 20 years. Approaching this home your first impression is Curb Appeal! The Outside exterior has been tastefully re-landscaped. Additionally, the entire exterior has been freshly repainted with a quality paint job. A new well pump pressure switch was also recently installed. The 30-year roof is in outstanding shape and is only 10 years old. The interior improvements include a brand new hot water heater, new garage door springs, door bearings, and wheels. The HVAC-Heat Pump thermostat was also replaced. The lot is deep and the right side features an absolutely enormous driveway for all of your bad boy toys. Bring your Big Boy RV, a couple of Work Trucks or a pair of fishing boats as they will all fit and the neighbors are cool with it! Did I mention the rear shed is large enough for a ton of bicycles and other pool related goodies. Generous living-family room with vaulted ceiling and super light and bright open floor plan with wide open view views of the swimming pool. The Master Bedroom features a walk-in closet. The interior is absolutely immaculate No HOA Fees, No CDD Fees in South Venice! The area affords all the amenities of the big city while maintaining a small town charm. Did I mention that the area has ultra low taxes! The area is only a 40 minute car ride to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. A quick car ride to some of the best fishing, shell collecting and beaches in North America including Powdery Sand Wheelchair Friendly Siesta Key, laid back Venice Beach, Manasota Key Beach, Venice Nokomis Beach a favorite of locals and many others. Bicycle enthusiasts will love the Suncoast Legacy Bike trail which traverses much of the county from north to south. There are a tremendous number of parks, botanical gardens and outdoor activities in the area. Boca Grande is a quick car ride away which is an amazing weekend Island getaway or take a ferry over to Little Gasparilla Island. Downtown St. Petersburg has become the cultural hub of the west coast and is only a little over an hour's drive away. Tons of shopping and restaurants adorn the area landscape. Additionally, South Venice Homeowner's are granted an optional nominal annual fee to use the S. Venice Homeowner's private boat launch, Lemon Bay Ferry, Private Beach and kayak launch which is amazing with quick access to world class boating and nearby islands! If you really want an exciting day go check out Caspersen Beach where you can find ancient fossilized shark teeth. If you love to dive there is a coral reef just offshore!
