308 Bayshore Dr., Venice, FL 34285

Located on the island of Venice, this “love letter” to mid-century modern design was originally built in 1958. Juxtaposing sleek lines with organic shapes, earthy textures, and incredible volume, the result is an artful house enhanced by sensitive updates for contemporary living. Keeping in character with the home’s modern aesthetic, a welcoming circular drive forges through the xeriscaped grounds to a custom pergola. Once inside, the drama unfolds with a spectacular vaulted ceiling framed by exposed trusses and a masterclass in capturing natural daylight. Form follows function with custom built-ins of White Birch and Purple Heart-wood inlays and a beautiful center fireplace. More recent updates include a multitude of improvements to the structure, A/C, windows, plantation shutters, and a new roof with hurricane tie-downs installed in 2015. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with cabinets that were custom built and are crafted out of Red Birch. Three bedrooms and three baths provide comfort and privacy. The modern coolcrete pool deck celebrates the “Old-Florida” lifestyle, enclosed by a picket fence. Enjoy refreshments by the shimmering pool as you lounge in the sun and listen to the gentle sounds of palm fronds rustling in the breeze. Cannonball like a pro off the diving board into the salt-water pool which reaches to 10’ deep. Situated in the lovely city of Venice, walking distance to enjoy nearby arts and culture, restaurants, shopping, and glorious Gulf Coast beaches.
