We purchased our Venice Island, Florida home after falling in love with Venice's Mediterranean architecture, tropical setting and quaint hometown feel, abundant in preservation and history. We are located two blocks to the beach and three blocks to Venice Main Street with its shops, boutiques, restaurants, pubs, bars, theater, recreational and leisure parks and various other amenities. West Venice Ave, the road leading to our home, is a canopied road with banyan and palm trees that harkens you back in time to old Florida in its pristine original state. Our home is just off historical W. Venice Ave, one block before you reach the Gulf of Mexico and Venice's white sand beach. The home has three bedrooms & three full bathrooms, living room, great room, eat-in kitchen plus a lanai/sunroom overlooking our brand new heated salt-water pool. Venice was just recently listed as one of the 10 best places to retire by US News and World Reports; after just a brief stay in Venice, it's easy to understand why. Sarasota, which is frequently voted one of the best cities in the US, is only 25 mins away.
