Description

BRING ALL OFFERS! NO STORM DAMAGE and NO FLOODING! Freshly painted exterior in January 2025, you’ll love the renovation done on the inside making this home move-in ready. Say goodbye to the original popcorn ceiling and hello to new LVP flooring throughout, new paint throughout, new toilets, new bath vanities with new sinks, new bath mirrors, new recessed lighting throughout, new refrigerator in 2024 and newer kitchen appliances, and new ceiling fans. The large, enclosed lanai has the original red cherry Terrazzo tile flooring and is not counted in under-air square footage so that offers additional flex space, along with a screened-in outdoor lanai, and a yard big enough for a pool that has a new wood fence and new double gate so you can park a small boat or trailer on the side yard. Storm prep is a snap with electric rolldown hurricane shutters on every window and door. This home gives its new owner the ability to take advantage of the South Venice Ferry and boat launch only available to local residents for a small annual fee. A new roof, new gutters and new air-conditioning unit were all added in 2021. Built by celebrated home designer and builder Ruth Richmond who founded Richmond Homes in the mid-1950s, this mid-century inspired contemporary home has the cult classic design features her followers expect to see. This adorable beach house has been upgraded in all the right ways while preserving Richmond’s original architectural style. One of the greatest pioneers of Sarasota architecture and design, Ruth Richmond was the first woman in Florida to earn a grade A general contractor’s license. Her design style dominated the look of Southwest Florida during the 1960s which included her stunning and collectible Lucite and gold fleck doorknobs, innovative sliders that disappear from view, enclosed lanais, and her signature shaped arches that transition you in a subtle, but stylish way from room to room. Close to Gulf Coast beaches, Venice Avenue shops, restaurants, community theatre, golf courses, the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital and more. This gem is ideal for full-time or seasonal living, and it can be used as a short-term vacation rental. Possibilities are endless.

    "The EastGate neighborhood is a hidden gem. There are a number of nice, older homes on good-sized lots, with many being upgraded with every new owner or already renovated. There are also many future opportunities as you look around. It's a perfect location between historic downtown Venice on the Island, and east to I-75 and the new areas being built out there. There's a Publix a block over and Venice Avenue isn't as busy as Route 41. Even with all the growth and new development, this part of Venice remains low-key and very pleasant. The homes here are a good value for the money and worth either buying and renovating, or buying an upgraded one. One of the best areas in the city that is not on the island, and my family has been here since the early 90s."
