The Blue Colonial/Key West, two-story pool home is ready for a new family and finally available. This warm and charming home on over an acre of land is the perfect place to raise a family. A large entry welcomes you inside with a beautiful open and winding staircase. Straight ahead of the entry is the family room with a fireplace and kitchen. The kitchen has had a couple of updates, including granite countertops, a new kitchen sink and a faucet. The kitchen is open to the breakfast area and family room with a beautiful bay window overlooking the pool and backyard. Also, from the entry, you can go into the living room or dining room. The dining room could easily be turned into a fourth bedroom, and the downstairs bath would have access to it from across the back hall. That bath also serves the pool and has access from the screened-in lanai. The large laundry room is off the back hall downstairs and has a laundry sink. There are lots of closets and storage in this house. The garage has an additional storage room off the laundry room and out in the garage. It leads out to the backyard. This floor plan was well laid out. The 15-by-30 pool is inviting through the French doors in the family room, and a screened-in lanai is a great place for lots of family fun. This home is loaded with windows and is bright and sunny. The rear of the home is south-facing. Venice Acres has an "out in the country" feel but is located near downtown Venice. This location is ideal for going north as well. Make your showing appointment soon.
