About this home
Virtually Staged. Welcome to Venice Gardens, one of Venice's most established neighborhoods, where this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom block home is on the market for the first time in 37 years. Built in 1969 with 986 square feet, it is being sold as-is and is ready for an investor or flipper to add value. The costly items are already handled with a newer roof, newer HVAC, select new windows, and updated screening on the lanai, leaving your budget for the cosmetic updates that drive resale. The layout includes a living room with a bay window, a dining area with sliders to the windowed Florida room, a galley kitchen, a separate laundry room, and two bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet. The screened lanai overlooks a spacious fenced backyard, and a one-car garage adds parking and storage. There is no HOA and no deed restrictions, which gives you flexibility for a flip or long-term hold. The home sits close to shopping, dining, and schools, with I-75 about 10 minutes away. Historic downtown Venice, the Legacy Trail, Venice Beach, and Caspersen Beach in the Shark Tooth Capital of the World are all a short drive away. Venice continues to draw full-time residents and seasonal buyers for its beaches, walkable downtown, and relaxed Gulf Coast pace.
