About this home

Nestled on a simply serene Venice canal, here is a fantastic value-priced opportunity for waterfront living. From this enchanting coastal cottage with boat dock you’ll enjoy swift access out to Roberts Bay, with no fixed bridges to obstruct your adventures. The spacious interiors are filled with plenty of natural light and include two bedrooms, a charming kitchen, living room and relaxed dining area. A wonderful connection to the outdoors is experienced from the second bedroom/office with built-in cabinetry, as it flows to a covered patio and lush waterside deck. A carport with plenty of storage space provides a finishing touch. This friendly community offers low association fees that include city water, sewer, lawn maintenance, waste removal and street repairs. Stroll a short 10 minutes to find Downtown Venice Island, lined with lovely shops and restaurants, or enjoy an easy trip to the beach to partake in Venice’s famous shark tooth searches.

It is further the intent to declare that the use of manufactured homes for dwelling purposes be in manufactured home parks or manufactured home subdivisions, except as set out specifically in this chapter.
