Under contract-accepting backup offers. Vintage Charm Meets Modern Comfort in this 1950s Venice Island Bungalow. Nestled on the coveted Island of Venice, this beautifully remodeled 1950s bungalow effortlessly blends vintage charm with contemporary amenities to create a space that feels like home. Offering two spacious bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, this home is immersed in natural light and thoughtfully designed for modern living.

As you approach, you'll be greeted by meticulously maintained potted plants, lush flowers, and Florida-friendly landscaping, leading you along a paver pathway to the covered entryway with a sleek glass front door. Step inside, and the stunning refinished terrazzo floors instantly catch your eye, extending throughout the home and complemented by large windows that invite the sunshine indoors.

At the heart of the home is the updated kitchen, a true gathering space that opens to the living room and an adjacent Florida room. With elegant dovetailed hardwood cabinetry, this kitchen is a dream for any home chef. Thoughtful upgrades include a cabinet pantry with pull-out shelves, a full refrigerator enclosure, glass hangars, spice cabinet, plate racks, open shelving, and plenty of petite drawers and nooks for storage and display. Neutral quartz countertops and tile backsplash accent the warm cabinetry, and high-end appliances such as the GE Profile slide-in convection range with double oven, Bosch 44dB dishwasher, and a brand-new LG French door refrigerator elevate the cooking experience.

A beautifully designed peninsula provides extra storage, seating, and is the perfect spot for entertaining or serving as a buffet for gatherings. The two serene bedrooms are tucked away for privacy, and an updated bathroom featuring a frameless glass shower with floor to ceiling tile, two skylights, and a comfort-height vanity.

Just off the kitchen, the newly built Florida room offers a serene retreat with views of both the front and side patio seating areas. This space also includes a second full bath with a frameless glass shower, comfort-height vanity, and a full-sized stacked washer and dryer, making it an ideal guest suite or even a potential en-suite if desired.

Step outside to discover your very own secret garden—a tropical oasis offering a variety of outdoor spaces including a front patio, private side porch, and a backyard paradise complete with stone patios and winding pathways surrounded by lush landscaping.

This home is not only visually stunning but also well-equipped with valuable upgrades such as a new roof (2024), a new AC system (2021), tankless water heater, 200 AMP electrical panel, and updated windows and doors. Some windows have impact glass or hurricane shutters, and the entire property is located above the high-risk floodplain.

Experience the quintessential island lifestyle, with public beaches, shopping, dining, art, and cultural options all just a short walk or golf cart ride away.
