Come see this floorplan, it is so very versatile! Even the formal dining room easily lends itself to other uses. It is open and spacious with vaulted ceilings. Little things like the archway to the large den/office add character. It is the classic Florida split floor plan with the 2 guest rooms on the left. The master suite is on the right in the rear of the house. It's huge master bathroom has double sinks, a linen closet, water closet, large walk in shower and seperate garden tub. There is a foyer and an indoor laundry between the kitchen and the garage. The garage is separately climate controlled with its own mini split, retractable screens and insulated hurricane door. So the space lends itself well to extended uses. Perhaps extra party space, comfortable mechanics shop or as current owner uses it for storage of her E-Bay inventory. Speaking of storage there is no shortage here. There is a pull down stair in the garage to attic storage as well as a shed 11'5' x 9'5" with electricity. The artful landscaping, is watered by a rainbird sprinkler system and leaves very little lawn to maintain. The driveway is 3 car wide and more than 2 deep for parking your toys. The slab extends around one side of the house. Some upgrades to this 2003 Fireside built home include a hurricane shutter for the front door. There is also a reverse osmosis water supply to a drinking spicket in the garage and to the refrigerator in the kitchen. The hotwater tank is newer and the lenox heat pump is 2015. The roof is original but has no leaks, looks good and has hurricane rafter ties. I very much appreciate the location of this home because, with rising prices, it lends itself to some of the best outdoor value adventure activities and social life Venice has to offer. Top 3 within 2 miles are: The private South Venice Beach Ferry and Boat Launch. Where residents at this address receive a 50% discount on the yearly passes for the private boat launch and/or ferry shuttle to the private beach. Shamrock Nature Center, has great children's amenities with its playground and butterfly garden. It has nature trails that connect to the 10 miles of the Legacy Trail. For enrichment classes and social life, the Senior Friendship Center is equally close. Here you can learn a language take dance classes, have lunch or play billiards to list a few. Of course Down Town Venice is just a bike ride or short drive away where there is yoga on the beach, restaurants, shopping, Saturday farmer's market and always an upcoming festival. The Venice airport where you can take flying lessons is adjacent to the public golf course. The Legacy trails connect Venice to Sarasota for biking and walking.
