Fixer-Upper in Prime South Venice Location, Steps to the Intercoastal

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (1,344 sqft, 2,136 total sqft) sits on an oversized 12,000 sqft lot, much larger than typical 6,000-8,000 sqft lots in the area. Located just one street off the Intracoastal and about 100 yards from the deeded beach ferry, offering access to a private Gulf waters 1/3 mile long beach full of shark teeth beautiful sand backed by palms facing wonderful warm gulf waters. A boater's or water sports enthusiast's dream, with space to store boats and trailers, or add a pool and lanai.

The home was affected by a once-in-a-lifetime (100 Year flood plain map) storm surge, but the damage done provides a unique opportunity to customize the home to your taste. The interior has been gutted, with drywall removed up to 2 feet, kitchen completely stripped, and all appliances, pumps, and A/C unit removed. The bathrooms are still intact with showers and tub stalls, and toilets remain onsite. Features include a wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings in the living room, easy access slider to the back patio, a long front porch, one-car garage, and a separate laundry room with additional storage. The present state leaves it prime for redesign.

Vintage red-glazed tile flooring in the living, kitchen, and dining areas, with terrazzo flooring throughout the rest of the home. All deconstruction and debirs removal has been completed and the home is ready for you to modernize and change.

Located near parks, bike trails, top health care facilities, shopping, dining, and services. Only minutes from dozens of golf courses, Braves spring training, and the beaches of Venice. Sarasota, just 23 miles north, is a cultural and arts hub, with Siesta Key 15 miles away. Airports in Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Sarasota are within 30-90 minutes, offering easy access to destinations worldwide.

Great investment potential with high rental demand in the area, as many rentals from fort myers to tampa were impacted by storms. This home offers a strong return both through resale and rental, with a 3/2 in South Venice averaging $2,300-$2,600 a month. This is a rare opportunity to create your dream home in an unbeatable location. I fyou see value in real estate, the forest through the trees, we believe this is one of those special ones to visit and see.
