A Venice Island waterfront beauty!! Just minutes to the Gulf of Mexico from your own boat dock & lift. A short walk from your private road to Venice’s famous and historic downtown with its quaint shops and restaurants. Also a short walk to the beach and recreational activities and cultural venues the “Island” has to offer! And then there is this truly exceptional home. Wow! A magnificent Mediterranean inspiration. It is timeless with its warm earth hues and sophisticated mix of travertine, bamboo and tile inlaid floors; soaring and intricate tray and coffered ceilings; awesome 11’ solid wood entrance doors, granite and marble surfaces; a myriad of the finest appliances from Miele to Sub-Zero, from expresso bar to steam oven and everything in-between; luxurious private quarters for owners and guests; a travertine stairway leading to a 2nd floor bonus room and bay view balcony; 15’ glass pocket doors open bayside to bring the water view in and for one’s own pleasure or entertaining by a masterfully crafted pool/spa and gorgeous outdoor kitchen. The protection of impact resistant windows throughout and a 3 car tiled floor garage with room for all the toys finishes the story. To see it is to love it!
