The historic Eagle Point Club in Venice is an exclusive community located within the privacy of mature foliage to the east with Roberts Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway on all other sides. The only one of its kind, it was the creation circa 1910 by Bertha Palmer, famed figure in the early development of Sarasota County Gulf, Bay and waterfront lands. This neighborhood is a hidden gem, still mostly unknown and unseen by the crowds. The focus now is on the pristine residence at 726 Eagle Point Dr. on 1/3 of an acre, the 1920'2-built home is ready for new owners to fall in love with it. Updates have been thoughtfully done including the kitchen and baths that are designed to seamlessly continue the historic look and feel of the community. High ceilings above, original heart-of-pine flooring below, shaded porches on 3 sides, with updates in recent times. A perfectly-sized pool, heated and caged, creates outdoor living area of approx. 42x63. The custom designed free-standing 2+car garage and storage. Is as handsome as it is functional. Consisting of 24 acres of just 50 homes, 10 are original structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the history is rich! A one-of-a kind owner amenity is the updated original clubhouse with deep porches, working fireplaces, library and full kitchen. It also includes guest bedrooms on the 2nd floor which, like the vintage 3-bedroom guest house next door, may be reserved exclusively for guests of homeowners. For those seeking a highly desired and unique Florida home, be sure to make an appointment to view cherished property.
