396 BAYSHORE DRIVE

Under contract-accepting backup offers. This beautiful home is nestled on the north end of Venice Island almost a half acre on the Inter Coastal Waterway with a 12,000 lb. electric boat lift at the dock. This location has been impacted by the last two hurricanes. Flood water entered the home. As a result, a new price has been determined to give the buyer the option to remodel or rebuild. There are no bridges to the Gulf of Mexico and is directly across from Roberts Bay Sports Boating Area and near by the Yacht Club/Venice Youth Boating Association. It is a playground for the water enthusiast. This location is minutes to the Venice Island Airport for the closest possible air travel, and is close to golf, tennis, beaches and famous downtown Venice Avenue accessing great food, shopping, farmer's market and festivals. This home welcomes you as a charming and well maintained property. It greets you with beautiful natural light at the entry way coming from southern exposure. The great room/dining room has cathedral ceilings and takes your eyes to the water views via the collapsed sliding glass doors that immediately expand the living space. Off this area is the bright, spacious kitchen complimented with corian counter tops and light cabinets. The Florida room flows off the kitchen allowing full view of the pool and water. The master bedroom and bath are spacious with Jacuzzi tub, bidet, and direct view of the water. The guest suite is also bright and spacious with full bath and walk in shower. The lanai is constructed with cool deck and large dining space for entertaining with an overhang ceiling for optimum comfort. The pool is well maintained and presents with a peaceful view of the ICW in a private setting. Lastly the oversized two car garage has plenty of space for extra storage and work bench with a laundry room off the garage. This split bedroom ranch home is a rare find for this location and lifestyle.
