758 Eagle Point Dr., Venice, FL 34285

An oasis in time, a contemporary cottage with deference to its past. Its distinctive renovations and additions were inspired by the historic character and natural setting of Eagle Point, 39-private homes on Roberts Bay. A crushed stone private road meanders through the community, leading to the home. Privately tucked behind the clubhouse and enveloped in an assortment of native plantings, including bougainvillea, bamboo, palm trees and naturally grown flowers. A classic white picket fence with multiple gate entrances surrounds the entire lot, while the rear features a detached 2-car garage with a 112 sq. ft. storage area. In classic shades of white and blue, and with an abundance of storm protected windows, light emanates everywhere, not least of which through 21-windows in the front of the home. While preserving privacy in the 2-bedrooms and bathrooms, communal spaces flow with heart of pine wood floors, 9-foot ceilings and beadboard. Maintaining the home’s natural aesthetic, the remodeled kitchen includes the finest appliances and finishes. To the right of the kitchen is the living room, to the left a flexible family room and/or dining room. From the family room is a 629 sq. ft., wrap-around under roof screened porch with kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, Trex (recycled composite) floors, beadboard ceiling, dining, and TV/conversation area. The roof is metal, most mechanicals installed within the past few years. Amenities include tennis/pickleball, the community’s clubhouse and another cottage. The clubhouse and community cottage have bedrooms available for guests of residents. Eagle Point has a boat house with private docks associated with some of the homes. Take out your beach chair and favorite beverage, dockside sunsets are spectacular. The annual Venice Boat Parade, Fourth of July fireworks, and TGIF BYOB shared appetizers are a regular community-wide fun event. Walk, ride a bike, take a golf cart or drive … Venice Island, its restaurants, shops, parks, Legacy Trail, beaches, houses of worship, and other cultural and recreational venues are just minutes away from this hidden gem, Eagle Point.
