Live every day on vacation at 278 Ventura. Canal-front with a boat lift, dock, pool, hot tub, putting green, and Florida room with gas grill & bar, this home is designed for entertaining. Located in Treasure Beach, the three bedroom, two bath home is just minutes to the Intracoastal by boat or a stroll to the neighborhood beach access just across A1A. Single-story and move-in ready, the concrete block construction has fared perfectly through all Florida weather. Lifestyle is everything, and this home ensures it’s going to be fun. The eat-in kitchen boasts a 36" gas range, two ovens, and granite countertops. The vaulted ceilings & electric fireplace of the great room are inviting, and the TV is hidden behind custom barn doors. Just beyond the great room is the party place: The Florida room. The air conditioned space is complete with gas grill, professional-grade hood, bar and ice maker, and it’s spacious enough to add a pool table.
Open the swing-style bar windows to outdoor bar seating, and enjoy the waterfront view of the boats, kayaks and fisherman passing by. Created for lounging, the backyard offers the quintessential Florida way of life - a pool with sun shelf, hot tub and fire pit, and all are connected to propane to warm the winters. The 14’ x 32’ boat house, 5,000 pound lift, floating dock and installed dock box storage are a boater’s dream. The list of extras includes split floor plan, Murphy bed in the guest room, on-demand Rinnai hot water heater, pavered driveway, two car garage plus extra off-street parking, pull-through shed, turf backyard, potting bench, garden, outdoor hot/cold shower and more. La piece de la resistance: With an appropriate offer on the house, the boat’s included.
