628 Hunter Dr., Venice, FL 34285

When the next chapter unfolds, you could be living your beach dreams right on Venice Island. This is where it all comes true, when you pass through the lofty front doors and there before you is the timeless splendor of the Gulf. This jewel of a home was planned around the open-concept design combing beautifully proportioned great room, kitchen and dining room. The master suite is on one side and a separate wing for the 3 well-appointed guest suites and den is on the other. The resort-like pool and spa inside the 63-foot lanai becomes the gathering place where you'll never have to miss a sunset or moon rise, a sunny beach day or starlit night. Custom built for the present owners, features include luxury brand appliances in the oversized kitchen, triple cove molded ceilings over the dining table, granite-clad fireplace and handsome built ins in the great room, plus master retreat with its own glorious Gulf views, tempting lounge area, walk-in shower and two customized walk-in closets. The den/office also affords a Gulf view so that you can truly live, work and play at the beach. On a Gulf front site of almost an acre, of recent high-quality construction and immaculately ready to move into, Venice Island property such as this becomes available only rarely. Historic Venice Island is slightly over a mile wide with houses along just a 3-mile length, and is famed for boutique shopping, gourmet restaurants, many arts venues, countless parks and recreation options and welcoming small-town ambiance.
