Virtually Staged. Move-In Ready Comfort in the Heart of East Gate! Welcome to 1317 Fir Avenue, a thoughtfully updated home where classic Venice charm meets modern comfort. Whether you are purchasing your first home, searching for a seasonal Florida retreat, or ready to simplify without sacrificing space, this inviting three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a versatile floor plan and an exceptional location. Fresh exterior paint, a covered front porch, and an etched-glass entry door create a warm first impression. Inside, the spacious great room is filled with natural light from an oversized picture window. A pass-through connects the great room to the beautifully remodeled kitchen, featuring white shaker-style cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, granite countertops, a glass-tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a closet pantry. Just off the great room, an attractive arched opening defines a flexible nook that is ideal for reading, working from home, or creating an intimate dining area. The primary suite offers soothing neutral finishes, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a generous closet, and a private bath with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom can function almost like an additional suite, thanks to a pocket door that provides privacy to the spacious guest bath. A third bedroom offers even more flexibility as a private office, hobby room, or comfortable guest retreat. At the back of the home, the cozy Florida room invites you to slow down and enjoy the season. Large picture windows overlook the backyard, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and character during cooler winter evenings. Step outside to the 16-by-10-foot paver patio and imagine morning coffee, relaxed outdoor meals, or evenings beneath the Florida sky. The nearly quarter-acre lot provides a clean slate for your vision, with ample room to explore possibilities such as a pool, play area, gardens, or additional storage. A two-car garage offers built-in cabinetry, laundry facilities, an additional refrigerator, and convenient side-yard access. This move-in-ready home delivers valuable peace of mind with impact-glass windows in most areas, a new roof and air-conditioning system installed in 2022, a concrete driveway added in 2024, fresh exterior paint in 2026, and luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in 2025. It is also served by public water and sewer and is not located in a high-risk flood zone. Established in 1956, East Gate is loved for its neighborhood charm, central location, and welcoming community spirit. With no deed restrictions, an optional neighborhood association, a community park, and shopping, dining, medical services, and Historic Downtown Venice less than two miles away, everyday convenience is always close at hand.
