About This Property
Access to real Florida living with solid, block construction that stands the test of time! Occupying a spacious, 10,000 sq foot lot in an unbeatable location, it's just a half-mile to the South Venice Beach ferry and boat ramp access! Low-risk X flood zone (no flood insurance required), New Roof (2025), HVAC (2022). With no HOA and no CDD fees, you’re free to enjoy your property the way you want to. This South Venice gem is a Richmond original, a thoughtfully designed piece of Florida's architectural legacy! The 2-bedroom floor plan embodies the quintessential mid-century Florida ranch: solid, comfortable and stylish, with great attention to detail. Pioneering home designer and builder Ruth Richmond’s design signatures can be found in the Weiser/Richmond partnership's famous "bubbly" amber doorknobs with with sparkly gold inclusions throughout the home, in bathroom tilework, period architectural features and the classic open floorplan focused on indoor outdoor living. The primary suite has an ensuite bathroom, and both bedrooms have walk-in closets. The main living area is wide open and a dinette leads to an efficient kitchen. There’s also is a convenient, indoor laundry room with utility sink. Relax in the shady backyard (just waiting for a garden or a fire pit) or host guests on the screened lanai with its lofty, angled ceiling. Whether you are looking for a seasonal winter retreat, a savvy investment, or a full-time residence, this home is brimming with potential. The neighborhood’s best amenity is an optional annual pass granting you exclusive access to the private South Venice Beach via a 3-minute ferry ride, or boaters can purchase a pass for the Boat Ramp or Kayak Launch. Other Gulf Coast beaches, including Manasota Beach (approx. 4 miles) and Venice Beach (approx. 5 miles) are a short drive away, as is Historic Downtown Venice, with its charming boutiques, local dining, events and concerts, and Venice Theatre. A mile away are Shamrock Park (basketball, tennis, nature trails) and the scenic Venetian Waterway Trail, which joins the Legacy Trail for walking and cycling. Convenience is key: shopping and restaurants on US-41 are also just over a mile away, and you’re also about 15 minutes from CoolToday Park (Braves Spring Training) and the new hotspot, Downtown Wellen. Don’t miss out on this unique South Venice opportunity; schedule your private tour now and secure your spot in the Florida sunshine!
