Rare opportunity! Absolutely gorgeous ½ of an acre of tropical paradise. This Island of Venice lot is situated on a lovely low-traffic street with trees, sidewalks and is out of the flood zone. You can build your dream home while keeping the mature shade, fruit trees, and palms; then still have plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. It is close to the beach but you don't have to deal with the damage of the salt spray that you have when you're too close to the water. This location is walkable to the beach, downtown, restaurants, the Art Center, and the hospital. As well as the elementary school, charter middle school, and high school. There are only a handful of 1/2 acre lots on the Island of Venice and they don't come available very often. Venice is a great island - you'll fall in love with this location! If you take a walk down the street, you will see it is "special" in a way that is hard to describe. Earlier this year the lot was cleared of an older home to make way for a new home. If interested, construction plans for the planned home are available.
Venice Island Gem! This Mediterranean Inspired home is situated on 1/2 of an acre of Tropical Paradise. This is the best that Venice Island has to offer. Located just a few blocks away from the Venice Beach and the Venice Island City-Center. You will have plenty of space to enjoy the great outdoors. Rather it be relaxing poolside with a handcrafted waterfall surrounded by flowers and fauna - or relaxing in the secluded garden she-shed with a good book and a glass of fine wine. Walk a few steps beyond the screened-in pool lanai and you can pick fresh mangos from your fruit tree, or move on to another screened in lanai to enjoy a nice relaxing soak in the hot tub. You will love the chef’s inspired kitchen with features such as quarts countertops, Brazilian redwood chopping blocks and a commercial grade gas cooktop. The kitchen is fully equipped and designed to satisfy that of a master chef. Tons of custom cabinetry is cleverly located throughout. The oversized 2 car detached garage provides a great work space and plenty of room for your vehicles or toys. An additional shed on the property is perfect for your gardening tools. The breeze way is a great place to relax and enjoy a day of potting and gardening. The swimming pool has both solar and electric heat for your enjoyment all year round. Home has all new plumbing, new metal terra cotta tile styled roof and more. This property is unique and is one of a kind. Seller is Motivated - this This GEM is a must see!
