Nestled in a quiet corner of South Venice, this mid-century rambler offers something that’s getting harder and harder to find—authentic character, thoughtful updates, and a lifestyle that feels simple, breezy, and real.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a nostalgic charm that welcomes you in. The carport is framed by iconic mid-century breeze block—those vintage concrete cutouts that feel like Florida history etched in stone. It’s not just a carport—it’s a mood. The kind that makes you want to pull in after a beach day, kick off your flip flops, and take your time getting inside.
Step through the front door and you’re greeted by a clean, freshly painted interior filled with natural light and an easy flow. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a wide open layout perfect for casual everyday living. Beyond that is the true heart of the home—a fully enclosed Florida room wrapped in windows, ideal for lazy mornings, an art studio, yoga space, or curling up with a good book and a soft throw.
There are two comfortable bedrooms, a tidy full bath, and an indoor laundry room that once housed a second bathroom—with plumbing still intact if you ever want to add it back. The floor plan is practical, but with touches of warmth and soul that make it feel anything but ordinary.
Out back, there’s a sunny patio with more of that classic breeze block detail, a private fenced yard, and a little garden space that’s just waiting for your pineapple patch or potted herbs. It’s just enough yard to enjoy, without feeling like you’ve taken on a second job.
Major systems have already been handled: new roof in 2022, updated septic and drain field in 2023, new hot water heater in 2023, brand new 2025 water pump, new aerator AND new water softener, interior paint, and a well-maintained AC. The hard stuff is done—now it’s ready for someone to make it home.
And here’s the best part: you have the option to join the South Venice Civic Association, with access to pickleball courts, a community clubhouse, and neighborhood events. Or, for the true Florida dream, join the South Venice Beach Endowment Trust, which gives you access to a private ferry to the beach, a boat ramp, kayak launch, and miles of Gulf Coast beauty.
This is a home where stories begin. Where morning walks and sunset drives become ritual. Where the charm of the past meets the ease of today. If you’ve been looking for a home with soul, you just might have found it.
