On Venice Island, this private waterfront retreat with its own boat dock and no-bridge Gulf access offers the rare opportunity to live the ultimate coastal lifestyle just steps from Historic Downtown. Imagine yourself waking up to shimmering bay views, stepping onto your private balcony with coffee in hand, and being on the open Gulf in minutes — no bridges, no hassle, just pure waterfront living on Venice Island. This is not just a home… it’s a lifestyle few ever get to experience, tucked inside a private gated enclave of only four residences, just two blocks from Historic Downtown Venice. Set within a charming waterfront community on Venice Island, this Mediterranean-inspired home offers breathtaking bay views from both living levels, a private boat dock, and seamless no-bridge Gulf boating. Whether you’re cruising at sunrise, walking to dinner downtown, or enjoying the coastal breeze from one of four outdoor living spaces, every day here feels like a vacation. Inside, the main living level features an open great room layout with soaring ceilings, crown molding, and walls of windows capturing west and north-facing bay views from nearly every room. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow effortlessly for entertaining, while three levels of waterfront observation porticos bring the outdoors in at every turn. Mediterranean Architectural character defines the home — from the grand staircase entry framed by serpentine columns and doors, to the pink “Italian Lace” stucco exterior, wrought-iron rails, tranquil fountain courtyard, and historic wrought-iron gate reclaimed from the iconic King House in Newport, Rhode Island. Additional highlights include 24/7 access to your dock and absolutely no bridges to the Gulf, allowing you to be on open water in minutes. The home offers stunning bay views from both living levels, along with three levels of waterfront observation porticos that create a seamless connection to the outdoors. There are two bay-view balconies plus two additional patios, providing multiple spaces to relax or entertain, as well as a private fenced yard for added privacy. An elevator services all levels, and the oversized 28’ x 32’ garage easily accommodates multiple vehicles, water toys, or additional storage. The property was built in 2001 and has been meticulously maintained, including a brand new tile roof in 2025 and a new A/C system in 2025. This Mediterranean-inspired residence was featured in a local Venice guide for its architecture. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront residence where kayaking, boating, walkability, and timeless Venice Island charm converge — just moments from dining, shops, beaches, and everything that makes island living unforgettable.
