Lender paid 1-0 Buydown Interest Rate by using our preferred lender! Enjoy effortless coastal living in this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath 55+ condo on Venice Island (80/20 rule applies for under 55). Nestled among beautiful upscale Gulf-side residences, this inviting first-floor home is only a five-minute stroll from the Gulf, with two nearby beach access points offering an easy path to the sand and beautiful Gulf waters. The highly desirable first-floor location offers the rare convenience of parking directly outside your front door—no elevator, stairs, or long walk with groceries. Inside, the condo feels fresh and welcoming with updated flooring, paint and finishes, along with newer appliances, including a stove and dishwasher approximately two years old and a refrigerator less than a year old. A newer sink, range hood and garbage disposal complete the kitchen updates. The living area opens to the lanai overlooking the community pool, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection and convenient pool access. A brand-new pool is planned, offering the next owner the luxury of enjoying a newly rebuilt amenity without having to take on the project themselves. One of the pleasures of this location is how easily everyday life can be enjoyed without leaving Venice Island. Grocery shopping, pharmacy, library, Ace Hardware, restaurants and other conveniences are all close at hand, while the Gulf is only a short stroll away. With a three-month minimum rental period, the condo also offers flexibility for owners who may wish to enjoy it part of the year while having the option for seasonal rental. A comfortable, beautifully updated island home, an exceptionally convenient first-floor location, and the Gulf only minutes away—all surrounded by the distinctive beauty of Venice Island.
