Located on a quiet, double cul-de-sac on the island of Venice and walking distance to the Gulf as well as the charming downtown area, is a stunning, light-filled, contemporary home that is awaiting its next owner. From beautiful quartzite countertops to handsome porcelain flooring, this home exudes quality, excellence and luxury. Every inch has been thought through during the 2023 renovation process. Examples include: bringing the laundry room inside from the double car garage, enlarging the pantry for those Costco needs, replacing a non functioning fireplace with an additional sliding glass door to bring in even more light and in the master 2 custom closets. This home qualifies for a wind mitigation discount on home insurance as all windows, sliders and doors are new and hurricane rated. The 2023 renovation also included all new plumbing (supply and drain lines),
updated electrical system with new sub-panel and all-new HVAC system. The custom built coffee/drink bar has European doors that, when closed, make the space feel decluttered or leave open to display art pieces. The quartzite kitchen island is stunning, oversized and great for entertaining! A propane gas system has been installed for a gas cooktop, tankless water heater and grill connection on the lanai. The new standing seam metal roof complements the exterior look and feel of the house. The three sliding glass doors that open to the lanai and pool cage are wonderful for the breezes! The pool was also renovated with new pebble tech coating and tile border with a beautiful marble pool deck and lanai. All new pavers, stepping stones and landscaping were completed in 2023 also. The outdoor shower on the side of the house is useful for after beach outings! Sitting on higher ground than some of the surrounding areas, this home has not been damaged by the last 2 hurricanes, Helene and Milton. With all the recent updates, this smart and stylish home should give its new owners years of low maintenance, trouble-free comfort and enjoyment. This one is one not to be missed!
