LAKEFRONT BEAUTY!!!! One of the nicest views in South Venice. You will love waking up in this beautiful lake front property with lots of birds to greet you every morning and watching spectacular sunset every evening in your own back yard. You can see all the improvements the owners have made in the past two years . Lovely laminate floors and all new carpeting, freshly painted throughout, and both baths have been nicely updated. In addition, the mechanicals have also been recently replaced with a brand new electric panel, new water heater, new water conditioner and pressure tank, new 8 x 14 storage shed, and the home was repiped in 2016. The roof was replaced in 2012. Recent improvements include a new side garage door and pull down steps for attic access and additional insulation. South Venice also has a community boat launch and ferry to a private beach for a small yearly fee. Make this your winter destination or year round home. It is very convenient to shopping and access to Interstate 75. And you can enjoy beautiful sunsets right in your own back yard.

RSF-3
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.
