625 W Venice Ave., Venice, FL 34285

A rare and extraordinary 1926 property is now offered in the premier oak-canopied area of West Venice Avenue on the island of Venice. Within blocks to the beach and bustling downtown, this magnificent residence in the historic district is a true representation of the Mediterranean Revival style designated by renowned city planner John Nolan in his plan for the city of Venice. The original features and countless intricate details are intact and enhanced by the Spanish eclectic flair incorporated into the original design. Solid concrete walls are an example of the integrity of the construction. The original Bas-relief of birds, vines and leaves are displayed in the exterior arch decor. Carved, stenciled wood beams and a grand staircase offer a snapshot in time to the grandeur of the early Venice boom era and the romantic soirees so popular in the roaring days of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers’ vision for a utopia on the Gulf of Mexico.
