**THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER. INQUIRE FOR MORE DETAILS.** Experience unmatched elegance in this meticulously remodeled second-floor end unit condo, nestled within the gated community of Waterfront on Venice Island. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo, available with **OPTIONAL FURNISHINGS**, features a versatile den currently serving as a dual office and guest room, along with modern updates, breathtaking views, and abundant natural light. As an end unit, it benefits from additional windows that infuse the space with a bright, airy feel akin to a single-family home. The kitchen, beautifully renovated in 2023, flows seamlessly into an open floor plan, ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Unlike higher-floor units where views of the Intracoastal and its vibrant waterway activities are restricted to the balcony, this condo offers the unique privilege of watching boats glide by, dolphins play, and serene waters stretch out before you—all from the comfort of your living space. And when the holiday season arrives, you'll have the best views of both the Annual Christmas Boat parade and City of Venice Holiday parade, allowing you to enjoy the festivities without ever leaving your home. Enhanced for peace of mind, the condo is equipped with hurricane windows and doors, and benefits from a newer HVAC system installed in 2020. Newly installed luxury vinyl flooring extends throughout the living areas, where expansive sliders open to a generous balcony. This outdoor space is ideal for enjoying tranquil mornings or relaxing evenings while overlooking the Intracoastal and lush greenery. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and an expansive breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. Wake up each morning to breathtaking Intracoastal views in the serene primary suite, which offers direct access to the balcony. A tray ceiling adds a touch of luxury, while two spacious closets—one being a walk-in—provide ample storage. The ensuite bathroom completes this retreat with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and an expansive tile shower. The secondary bedroom at the front of the unit features a Jack & Jill bathroom with direct access from the bedroom and convenient hallway access for guests. For added convenience, under-building parking with an assigned spot ensures your vehicle is secure while providing easy access to your unit. Embrace the island lifestyle, where sparkling Intracoastal views stretch endlessly before you. This beautifully maintained community, recently refreshed with a modern repaint, offers a range of carefully curated amenities, including a heated saltwater pool, a gazebo with a grill, a kayak launch, a fishing pier, and a private, short-term dock for owners. Located just one block from the Historic District, this prime spot allows you to stroll to Venice Theatre, charming boutique shops, delightful restaurants, and Centennial Park. Experience the vibrant local culture with Saturday morning Farmers Markets, various open-air concerts, and festivals, as well as the annual Christmas parade through downtown Venice. Plus, you’ll have direct access to the Venetian Waterway Trail, which seamlessly connects to the Legacy Trail. With Venice Beach less than a mile away, your coastal dreams are within reach. Come, be an Islander, and make your dream lifestyle a reality.
