One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Hey, don't skip this very special Island of Venice home because of its age. Come, take a visit in this beautifully remodeled Island home. But, you will want to stay when you experience the amazing back yard! This home was constructed with some of the finest native materials to withstand the Florida climate.

This incredible, unique home is perhaps the most ideal location on the Island of Venice.

Built in 1952 but has been extensively remodeled.

Almost the entire interior including ceilings was repainted in August 25, over $25K of landscaping was recently completed. Located in the original Venezia Park neighborhood, you are surrounded by many 100 year old homes with their Northern Italian architecture.
