About this home

OVERSIZED CORNER LOT • NON FLOOD ZONE (X) • VENICE HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT • CENTRAL VENICE LOCATION Opportunity doesn't always arrive in a perfect package. Sometimes it arrives with great bones, a larger lot, a prime location, and the chance to create something truly your own. Welcome to 1608 Bob O Link Drive, located in the established Venice Gardens community, where mature oak trees line the streets and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Situated on an oversized 0.27 acre corner lot, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers more than 2,100 square feet of living space and endless potential for the buyer who recognizes value when they see it. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the generous yard space, mature landscaping, and inviting curb appeal. The expansive lot provides room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, a future pool, or simply enjoying Florida's year round sunshine with more breathing room than many newer communities can offer. Inside, the flexible floor plan features multiple living areas, large windows, and abundant natural light filtering through the mature trees outside. Whether you're looking for space to entertain, work from home, pursue hobbies, or simply spread out, this home provides the flexibility today's buyers are searching for. Several major improvements have already been completed, including a newer roof and updated plumbing, providing peace of mind while leaving plenty of opportunity to customize and modernize the interior to match your personal style. Additional features include a two car garage, public utilities, and high speed internet availability. The true value of this property is its location. Just minutes from Venice Beach, historic downtown Venice, golf courses, shopping, dining, medical facilities, Wellen Park, and easy access to US 41, Jacaranda Boulevard, and I 75, you'll enjoy everything that makes Venice one of Southwest Florida's most desirable places to live. Homes offering this combination of lot size, square footage, location, and potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment opportunity, this property presents a rare chance to secure a home in one of Venice's most established and sought after neighborhoods. If you've been waiting for a home with space, character, and the opportunity to build equity through your own vision, your search may be over. Schedule your private showing today and discover what's possible at 1608 Bob O Link Drive.

Local Insight

At $150/sqft, you're getting solid value for Venice proper, though the 1979 build means you should budget for roof, HVAC, and plumbing updates—typical for homes in this price range here. The Venice Gardens location puts you in an established neighborhood with reasonable HOA fees, but the 0.28-acre lot is tight, so outdoor space won't be a selling point if that matters to you. The X flood zone is a genuine advantage for insurance and resale peace of mind, which offsets some of the age concerns.
