A Magnificent Custom home by John Cannon in 1999, still one of the eminent Sarasota builders to befit one of the most premiere sites envisioned for the City of Venice master plan by John Nolen in 1926. It is one of the special few homes that back up to one of the small neighborhood parks encompassed in his original design for the City. It is steps away from Venice Beach and a short walk to all the amenities “Island Living” offers, shops, wonderful restaurants and entertainment. Over 3,000 square feet of living area, impressive and grand in every detail. You are greeted by towering ceilings and incredibly bright and open rooms with enormous dimensions, a glistening pool and spa in private setting with the expansive park view beyond. It will still need some substantial updating in the kitchen and baths but in this particular Historic District of the Venice, the older 1960’s Florida Bungalows in high demand and short supply are being purchased for the land value for $300 to $500 thousand dollars and being torn down to be replaced by high end custom homes in the Italian Renaissance Style that this coastal village, Venice is noted for.
