448 Bayshore Dr Venice, FL 34285

Gracious style and superior quality are found in this prime Venice Island bayfront location. The gloriously wide water views are second to none and direct no-bridges boating access only minutes to the Gulf are a dream come true. Never before on the market, this almost 6000 sq.ft. luxury home on almost an acre was planned with care and constructed by the owner-builder for himself. Special detailing exceeds expectations throughout the bright, open floorplan. One side of the house is dedicated to the grand master retreat including a fitness room, while two main-floor en-suite bedrooms plus an upper story get-away each have their own private luxuries. Entertaining is a delight from the 22x16 foot kitchen with two seating counters, adjacent breakfast room and a full-size dining room just steps away. The family room with its custom ceiling treatment and convenient built-ins shares its fantastic wall of windows for looking at the ever-fascinating waterway boating action with the kitchen as well. Expansive outdoor spaces are entered from multiple rooms for full enjoyment of ample lounging areas, oversized saltwater pool and spa and the extensive boat dock. Ready for a vessel with up to a 4 and a half foot draft, this low maintenance dock could accommodate multiple water craft. The enviable Venice Island lifestyle with it's award-winning flower-filled downtown, great selection of restaurants, shops and activities adds up to make this gracious one-of-it's kind waterfront home a true treasure.
