Looking for a house with no HOA or CDD fees? This home is for you! The house is located in desirable Venice Gardens, an established old Florida neighborhood, nestled between key roads to maneuver around traffic, (being sold "As Is"). Centrally located to everything - shopping, medical, restaurants, schools, a few minutes from Venice Island and SWFL beaches. The “Venice Gardens Lake” (a private 69-acre lake, electric boats and kayaks allowed) waterfront property is a 1962 mid-century modern built by iconic Florida Builder, Ruth Richmond, with many of her signature touches. Incredible Lake views from almost every room; sunsets, a lot of wildlife and 60-year-old majestic trees add to the tranquil vibe of the property. The Den has a wall-to-wall pocket door across the back opening up to a screened-in area, let the outside beauty in and a fenced in area for the pooch! Custom cabinets in the kitchen with some of the art deco style of the period throughout the house. Systems were installed in the last 8 months with warranties - shingle roof, seamless gutters with gutter guards, whole house water filtration, icemaker, 3-ton AC, ductwork, insulation; new exterior stucco and paint, and a newer hot water heater. No worries about having to replace anything and comes furnished (except designated items). The open floor plan seamlessly connects living, dining, and kitchen areas, excellent for entertaining. There is a dock needing tender loving repair and irrigation system, not warrantied, along with new pavers leading to the dock. Venice Gardens community pool is available, with a small annual fee, around the corner. Don't miss the opportunity to establish yourself in historic Venice, Small Town feel with Big City amenities!
