This split plan home features the original terrazzo floors in almost all rooms, an extra large family room, a huge inside utility room (16x8), extra wide drive plus parking pad, spacious room sizes and a very attractive front patio for fun outdoor living. Brand new kitchen cabinets were recently installed too. This home was originally designed as a two bedroom home with a large fully enclosed and air conditioned bonus room that the current owners renovated for mother-in-law quarters and an additional very small third bedroom. This extra room is ideal for art studio, office or playroom. You will appreciate this quiet street and neighborhood and just as importantly, this house is not in a flood zone. Remember you can join the South Venice Civic Association and have access to the private South Venice Beach for a nominal fee have an annual ferry pass to the beach and/or a boat ramp key for a day at the beach or fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Catch the ferry; located only about one-half mile from your new home. Hurry and call today for all the details. Thanks.
