Welcome to this spacious three-bedroom, three-bath residence with an attached two car garage, located in the highly sought-after community of Venice Acres. With 2,296 square feet of living area, this home offers a comfortable and functional interior featuring a blend of carpet and vinyl flooring, central air conditioning, and an electric heat pump. T All reasonable offers will be considered as updates are needed throughout but the potential is there. The property is equipped with solar power, adding energy efficiency and helping to reduce monthly utility expenses. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample cabinetry and essential appliances, including a dishwasher, range, microwave, refrigerator, and garbage disposal. A washer and dryer are also included for added convenience. Interior spaces provide flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining, and the home’s layout is complemented by abundant natural light. One of the most notable features of this property is the expansive six-car detached garage, an exceptional asset for vehicle storage, hobbyists, equipment, or those seeking dedicated workshop space. An additional detached outbuilding offers practical storage for water system components, gardening tools, and outdoor equipment. The property overlooks a small pond, creating a peaceful natural backdrop and an ideal setting to enjoy wildlife and quiet moments outdoors. Venice Acres is well known for its large lots, mature landscaping, and tranquil, rural atmosphere, all while being just minutes from shopping, medical facilities, Downtown Venice, and the pristine Gulf Coast beaches. Situated off East Venice Avenue, this deed-restricted community delivers an appealing combination of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday convenience that is increasingly rare in Southwest Florida. A Note from the Owner As we have decided to move into a new stage of our lives, there is no urgency driving this decision. In fact, we believe it is prudent not to rush the process. We intend to take our time finding a smaller home, and at this point, we do not even know which state it will be in. We will soon be leaving this beautiful place that has been our home, along with truly wonderful neighbors. We know we will miss it deeply—the spacious, picturesque subdivision; morning coffees by the pond; feeding our fish, and watching the turtles swim. We will miss the unique feeling of living in a country-like setting while still being surrounded by well-established communities. I will miss working in my workshop in the detached garage, as well as tending to our garden. We have no illusions about the home and understand that it needs updating. We could invest a lot of money to create the appearance of a more updated house, but would those changes align with the taste and preferences of a future buyer? Buyers typically purchase a home and then make it their own, according to their individual style and needs. For that reason, investing significant resources on my side does not make practical sense. Instead, it is more reasonable to find a fair middle ground—a true win-win situation. It is also important to note that homes in this subdivision rarely come on the market, especially when compared to surrounding areas. Being reasonable, therefore, is not only about how much we are willing to adjust on price, but also about how much one values the opportunity to live in a country-like setting within a densely developed area.
