440 W Gate DriveVenice, FL, 34285

Tucked away on a quiet, private double cul-de-sac on Venice Island, is a very special home within walking distance of the Gulf, as well as downtown with all of its activities! This beautiful home, pool, pool cage, and yard, has been totally renovated within the last 6 years. The spacious screened patio off the front entrance has sunrise sky views as well as a great place for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine with friends when the day is done. The front patio overlooks a professionally landscaped, low maintenance front yard, including a fruit bearing coconut tree, and is wrapped in privacy from the street. Leaving the front door & windows open to the screened front patio, and the 2 sliding glass doors to the lanai, gives you wonderful breezes throughout the home! Walking into the home, the dramatic oversized waterfall edge kitchen island commands your attention, with plenty of entertainment space in the living area as well. The kitchen cabinets are sleek and contemporary with abundant storage. There is a designated coffee bar as well as a wine cooler tucked out of sight, so you always have enough of both! The dining area features custom wood beams on the ceiling and contemporary lighting. Master suite is gracious, including a steam room shower, large walk-in closet and a private door to the lanai and pool. The pool surround was enlarged for relaxing & entertaining, the lanai curtains soften the setting sun, and a convenient pool shower is available for your after-beach excursions. All four pool decks and lounge chairs remain with the home so nothing can stop you from a little R&R while you unpack! A private well supplies irrigation all year, and a whole house filtration system insures healthy water for you. Two of the three bathrooms are ensuite, convenient for guests, a returning student or adult child. The yard is landscaped with paths, mature plants, and is fenced for privacy and pets. The 2-car garage has epoxy flooring and the floor to ceiling cabinets are there so all your storage is out of sight! Sitting on higher ground than the surrounding area, it has not suffered damage from the last few hurricanes. With all the recent updates, this home should give its new buyers years of low maintenance and lots of enjoyment! Don't miss this one!
