This house did NOT have any damage from Hurricane Ian or Nicole. This incredible opportunity should not be overlooked. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, this property boasts 156 feet of waterfront overlooking Venice Gardens Park, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature. Recently renovated to the highest standards, this property features new hurricane impact windows and exterior doors, a 200 amp electrical system and wiring that meets the current Florida code, and a new roof with all new plywood decking completed in 2022. Additionally, the property has a new 3 ton A/C - Heat system and ductwork throughout, as well as luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the house. The kitchen has been beautifully transformed with shaker style wood cabinets, new quartz countertops, and brand new stainless steel appliances, while both bathrooms have been updated with new tiles, vanities, and toilets. The open floor plan floods the house with natural light and offers breathtaking views of the water. The large laundry room is conveniently located right off the kitchen. This property is larger than the tax roll indicates, making it even more attractive. This house is a must-see for anyone looking for a truly exceptional living experience.
