This is the kind of Venice home that just makes you smile. Bright, updated and full of personality, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home blends easy Florida living with thoughtful updates and a coastal style that feels anything but cookie-cutter. From the moment you step inside, the warm wood-plank ceilings set the tone, adding character throughout the main living spaces. The updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous center island and a coastal-inspired tile backsplash, while the beautifully refreshed bathroom adds a pop of personality with a walk-in tiled shower and stylish modern finishes. A flexible bonus space provides the perfect spot for a home office, hobby room or additional living space. Outside is where Florida living really comes to life. A spacious covered patio creates an extension of the home with plenty of room for dining, lounging and entertaining, all overlooking a fully fenced backyard with tropical landscaping and room to enjoy the sunshine. Beyond the finishes, several of the home's major systems have already been updated, including a NEW ROOF in 2023, roof-mounted solar installed in 2024, HVAC replaced in 2020, and a new septic system, lift station and drainfield completed in 2018. Conveniently located in Venice with easy access to area beaches, Downtown Venice, shopping, dining and everyday conveniences, this home offers something increasingly hard to find: a move-in-ready Florida home with updates already completed and a personality all its own.
