555 The Esplanade N, Unit 502Venice, FL 34285Sale Price: $700,000

This is the home of perhaps Venices' best direct gulf panorama from north, past the jetty, to south far beyond where the daily yoga classes are enjoyed. To the west, it's all water, sky, seabirds, frolicking dolphins and pleasure boats. This welcoming 5th floor condo is surprisingly spacious. You'll enter into the welcoming den/bonus room that flows to the small but efficient kitchen, the large great room-dining room combination, and split bedrooms and baths. Don't try to resist the alluring screened balcony. Whatever time of day or night, owners and their guests will want to dine, lounge and relax in this comfy space. This interior is freshly painted, has luxury vinyl flooring throughout, appliances 8 years old, the HVAC 5 years old, water heater just 4 years old, and the beach-facing sliding doors were all replaced with high impact and sea turtle compliant materials in 2018. This unit is strategically priced to allow for the new owner to open up the kitchen should they choose to, making it an excellent value. Owner is long time Venice Realtor who has enjoyed occupying it full time for 12 years. Located just a short, shady stroll to downtown Venice!
