Under contract-accepting backup offers. Charming and move-in ready 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in Venice Gardens offering a rare combination of public water & sewer, no HOA, no CDD, and not located in a flood zone! Inside, a split floor plan offers comfortable separation, with bedrooms positioned on opposite sides of the home and the living, dining, and kitchen areas anchored in the center. The home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully refreshed with updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. The original terrazzo floors run throughout the home, offering both durability and ease of maintenance. The primary suite is sun-filled with a lovely bay window, creating a bright and inviting retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and direct access to the lanai. The peaceful screened-in lanai overlooks a partially fenced backyard, creating a relaxed outdoor space to unwind and enjoy the Florida sunshine and breeze. The unique two-car-wide paver driveway adds both curb appeal and functionality, something you don't often see. Additional highlights include a 2019 roof and an oversized one-car garage currently set up as craft and storage space with A/C and laundry, easily convertible back to traditional garage use if desired. Less than 4 miles to Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach, known as the Shark Tooth Capital of the World, and under 10 minutes to historic downtown Venice, with shopping and dining right around the corner. All of this just minutes from it all!
