Historic Venice Island still has surprises tucked away with this rare 1940's bungalow being one of the best. And the surprises of this home don't stop at the first impressions from the street. The original portions of the home feature the living and dining room, 2nd bedroom and ensuite bath currently being used as an office, and the kitchen with enviable storage and prep spaces with a view overlooking the pool. The owners have created a long, primary bedroom suite addition, an equally lengthy covered lanai and oversize caged pool, that all adding surprising spaces for comfort and for entertaining. There are delightful French doors that carry through the entire lanai space, and charming original windows that are protected with retractable shutters. Of the two gas-burning fireplaces, one is in the living room and the other in the primary suite. The roof and the pool cage were done in 2024, and a there's an exhaustive list of contacts for everything from pool service to lawn, landscape and tree maintenance to annual storm shutter care, showing the loving attention that this immaculately maintained home has benefitted from over the years. Located with the beneficial FEMA X zone designation, it has been safe from storms. Photos and descriptions just can't fully showcase this special property so plan to visit it in person soon.
