429 Darling Dr., Venice, FL 34285

If your destination is the Island of Venice, this updated, move-in ready 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2.5 car garage, heated pool/spa home in Golden Beach just may be your last stop. Golden Beach is a quaint, highly-desirable beach community with one of the few deeded beach easements open to only its residents. The open great room plan features a fire place and a spacious dining area off the oversize kitchen. Pocketed sliding glass doors open up to the immense covered patio area, pool/spa with outdoor shower and the 40’ x 33’ lanai - creating your ultimate Florida indoor/outdoor living experience, and a large fenced backyard that is a safe environment for your furry friends. The guest bath doubles as the pool bath, with the home finished in large, wall-to-wall tile flooring. The PVC fence adds privacy to the tastefully landscaped, resort-style pool deck. With 1,790 square feet under air and over 2,600 square feet of room to live, this Spanish Mediterranean home has been smartly updated over the years to include PGT impact glass for every window and a clear protective shutter for the decorative kitchen leaded glass. The HVAC system is brand new as of September - with transferable warranty - and includes all new duct work throughout the entire home. The tile roof installed in 2016 has plenty of remaining life. A full laundry with folding surface, built-in desk, closets and a laundry sink is conveniently located just off the kitchen. The full list of updates and upgrades is published below. The home is a five minute walk to the deeded Golden Beach access offering community amenities including a gazebo, parking, charcoal grill, fresh water shower and sunset benches. The Island is renowned for its golf carts and the beautiful Venice Avenue main street featuring shops, restaurants and social venues. No CDD, NOT in a flood zone and ready to close immediately. Remaining furnishings available under separate contract.
