The surprising expanse of sliding glass across the open great room, dining room and kitchen brings the glorious outside in, so first impressions are wonderfully inviting. Right from the curb, the well-established landscaping, brick driveway and sidewalks, stylish metal roof and recently replace windows and doors create a welcoming atmosphere. With contemporary flair, this sleek home has been artfully styled for feelings of peace and comfort while at the same time being engineered to enjoy the benefits of smart energy use including recently replaced air conditioning system.

Short Sale. THE BANK IS A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL AND I CAN GET AN ANSWER IN 48-72 HOURS OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACT. This is a wonderful home that has a dynamite location on the Island of Venice; you could walk to the Beach or to Downtown shopping & dining. This classic 3 bedroom 2 bath has a wide open floor plan which spans out to a spectacularly large open back yard adorned with big beautiful pines, almost bringing the back yard inside which gives it a great feel and back drop to the home. This split open floor plan could have the flexibility of having one the bedrooms(it has pocket doors now) turned into a home office or great library. The living- dining room is very comfortable & there are terrazzo floors almost thru-out the whole house that are in great shape. The kitchen is open and faces out to the backyard with a nice eating/dining area that would be great for entertaining or just relaxing with the family in this warm, wonderful home. There is a new roof that was put on in 2011.
