You've got a peaceful easy living, right here off a beautiful fresh natural creek! A unique opportunity to taste the old Florda lifestyle in this vintage 1952 built home on a large half-acre parcel. Kayak right off your back yard onto Alligator Creek and travel among mangroves straight to the Intracoastal -- and no bridges! Then travel down to Lemon Bay or up to Venice or out to the Gulf for added adventures! From your dock, you can catch snook or redfish for dinner, and maybe even tarpon for fun! Or take in some quiet moments in your special outdoor spaces, and appreciate the oasis of fragrant flowers, tropical plants & trees and its wildlife.
In 2016, the home had a large owner's suite added to it's original footprint, adding more living space, but still keeping much of its old-world charm and character. Of special note are the beautiful and rich wood beam ceilings. At the same time, the owners also added high impact windows, and updated the kitchen and baths with cambria quartz countertops. Notable improvements include: New HVAC (2025), Roof (2022), Hot Water Heater (2021), and Septic cleaned and checked (2024). The kitchen appliances have 5-yr warranties: Microwave (2024), Refrigerator (2022), Dishwasher (2022), Range (2021). Water filtering system is Water Pro (2017)
The room off of the kitchen is presently used as an office/sitting room, but with its large walk-in closet can be used as a 3rd bedroom. It has its own stand-alone Honeywell AC unit (2022), with special heat & light blocking curtains, and an outdoor light-filtering roller shade. There is also a 2nd electrical panel in the 3rd bedroom closet for possible generator use. The bright airy guest bath has a skylight and ceiling fan, with a combination tub/shower.
The extra-large driveway can easily accommodate your boat or RV, and additional vehicles. In addition, there is lots of storage for your outdoor items: In the large storage space in the carport for parking your bicycles and maintenace items; in the shed by the creek; and in the smaller room (with AC!) off the back patio. Also at the back patio is an outdoor sink - a plus++ for the gardening enthusiast!
For those times when you prefer to get out for a little hustle and bustle, this waterfront home is close to Historic Downtown Venice for fabulous dining, shopping and entertaining experiences - but still maintaining that small town feeling! So make sure you add this home on the top of your Tour of Homes list ... It's one you don't want to miss!
