About this home
HUGE REDUCTION & MOVE IN READY HOME! This Home and property had been remodeled with fresh paint inside and out, fixtures, vinyl flooring throughout, kitchen cabinets, quartz counters, backsplash and all stainless steel appliances, bathrooms with redone showers and toilets, vanities, water heater and ROOF all in 2023 and recently has since been enhanced by Adding all Hurricane Windows (except rear door), removing overgrown trees, enclosing the garage to make a bonus room, added a gravel parking area for RV, TRAILER, BOAT or just visitor parking, shed and double gate into a fenced yard. Enjoy the neighborhood and close proximity to beaches, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Priced to sell. COME SEE IT BEFORE IT IS GONE!
Local Insight
At $276/sqft for a 1979 home in South Venice, you're getting below-market pricing that likely reflects the age and smaller footprint, but the X flood zone and tiny 0.18-acre lot mean minimal appreciation upside and renovation costs could quickly erode value. The lack of HOA is a plus, but this is really a cash-buyer or investor play—a young family looking for growth equity would probably want to look newer or in a stronger location. The 360° tour is helpful here because what you see is what you get in a property this modest.
