Stop the car! The character and charm in this pool home are evident from the curb. Stop scrolling if you love vintage homes. With a long list of improvements, the home still has original terrazzo floors which were restored. As improvements were done it was with care to keep the vintage feel. Having continually been improved since it was built with the most recent being a brand new 2021 HVAC unit currently being installed. New kitchen appliances and the carport was enclosed into a permitted garage in 2018. Impact windows, doors, storm panels included and blown in insulation in attic have also been added. A permitted mother-in-law suite perfect for multi-generational living, guest quarters or even potential rental income is a possibility. There is also opportunity to open it up to the inside of the home if desired. A HUGE outdoor entertaining area in back with the original patio and the added pool deck. This large poolside patio is the most loved and well used area as it also serves as a ‘Florida’ style dining room. There is also built-in storage on the patio as well as a shed out back. Sellers sad to leave as they have worked to make it their own with hand-painted geometric accent walls. They love this home and had planned to stay forever. They are relocating out of state for a career move. They hope the next owners will love the home as much as they do. Located in well-established Venice East neighborhood with excellent schools in district. No flood insurance, no mandatory HOA and public utilities. Would make an ideal family home or an amazing retirement retreat. Easy access to shopping and a short drive to some of the best beaches in the country. See list of improvements seller has provided attached to the listing. Home is move in ready. Did we mention the mango tree? There is also extensive landscaping done with low maintenance plants and mature trees. If you love an eclectic vibe, vintage brick, terrazzo floors this might be your unicorn. Do not blink or you might miss this one.

RSF-2
Residential Single-Family District
The RSF Districts permit single-family residential densities, which may take the form of single-family detached or cluster subdivisions; Cluster subdivisions may include lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, or townhouse units. The nature of the use of property is the same in all RSF Districts, with variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3 and RSF-4 Districts in the requirements for density, lot area and width, and yards; A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect the single-family residential character of the neighborhood; The RSF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Low Density, Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map and on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts. Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RSF zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The RSF-4 District is also used to implement the Comprehensive Plan in the areas shown as Office/Multifamily Residential Area and Corridor on the Future Land Use; The RSF-4 District, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Low; Moderate or Medium Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan; These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
