One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. WOW, Price Improvement! This charming and very well maintained Ruth Richmond designed home has been with the same family since 1979. The 3 Bedroom, 2 full Bath home proudly showcases the legacy of Ruth Richmond, Florida’s first licensed female Grade-A building contractor and designer. Her designs include walk-in closets in each bedroom, a hall linen closet, a kitchen pantry, pocket sliding doors, a lanai instead of a screened porch plus her prized and very collectable lucite doorknobs and drawer and cabinet pulls. Recent 2024 improvements include interior & exterior painting and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The septic system passed inspection April 2024. A New Roof in March 2023. A Leaf Filter gutter system and an upgraded electrical panel installed in 2016. This home is beautifully landscaped and includes an irrigation system. You will appreciate the oversized 2 car garage with a long paver driveway and walkway which includes a courtyard entrance. On the large lot is plenty of room for big toys such as, a large boat and trailer, a Class A motorhome or both. Within the fenced backyard is a tool shed with a large opening to store all of your boat or RV supplies and house a small tractor. Another shed houses all the water equipment including a water softener, potassium tank and a new sulfur tank. The 216 SF detached workshop with 110 & 220 electrical plus water could be perfect for the handyman or could be converted to an art studio. Location is excellent! Close to world class beaches and MLB baseball. Downtown Venice is minutes away with excellent restaurants, boutique shopping, theater and a performing arts hall. Richmond Homes were known for making comfortable, stylish and quality built homes with the "best doorknobs" in town. Make an appointment to view today, this home is priced to sell.
