Be prepared to be awestruck by the elegance of this eighth-floor, end-unit penthouse at the waterfront Towers on Venice Island. Adding to its excellence is a garage that is included with the purchase, steps from the entrance of the building. These top floor end units are the largest in the community, with additional square footage along the outside wall with a wraparound back porch. This unit sits majestically on the far western side of the complex with breathtaking, undisturbed and far-reaching views of the sunset, downtown Venice, Gulf of Mexico, Roberts Bay, Gulf Liner Marine and Intracoastal Waterway. The original owners purchased the unit unfinished and meticulously designed every feature from the walls inward. As you enter the residence, you step onto imported Italian marble flooring, which travels throughout the entire home. Attention was paid to every detail with custom-made crown molding, Italian marble fireplace (electric), custom wood cabinetry in the study and living room. Coffered, ornately designed ceilings are enhanced with handsome chandeliers and lighting features. Once down on the ground from this mansion in the sky, everything downtown Venice has to offer is moments away. This city, on the Gulf of Mexico, has a charming downtown with wonderful dining, shopping, theater, festivals, farmers market, library and of course beaches. The Towers on Venice Island has a newer dock for day tie-ups to grab lunch or a swim in the pool with friends. The dock also has a kayak/paddleboard launch, electricity, water and lighting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home on the island of Venice.
