This original, one-owner Mid-Century Modern home was built in 1956 on the charming island of Venice, and just a short walk to Gulf beaches. The property is NOT in a flood zone. The house is a fixer-upper, with good bones that include terrazzo floors, spacious 25-foot living room, 16-foot dining room and 30-foot covered lanai, a sparkling 16-by-35-foot pool. The lot is almost 15,000 square feet and includes two deeded beach easements on the Gulf Coast. Venice Island, designed by John Nolen in 1926, is an amenity-rich community with numerous parks, Venice Community Center, library, arts center and history center. There are first-rate restaurants, weekly farmers markets, bakeries, boutiques and shops downtown, and kids can walk to A-rated schools. Location is a big factor for this property with outdoor activities that include concerts, art exhibits, water parks, walking and biking and the Legacy Trail, which runs from Venice to Sarasota, winding through parks and preserves, including Oscar Scherer State Park. There is bird watching, tennis, pickleball, beachfront recreation and even a special dog beach! The Gulf Shores neighborhood beach access combines beachfront fun with social activities for families. Just wait until you visit the huge Caspersen beach. Whether you restore or renovate this three-bedroom, two-bath home or build your new dream home, all this could be yours. See it today.
