Property Description
A Little Piece of Venice History, An Original Ruth Richmond Model Home on Venice Island Coastal Living. Welcome to a special piece of Venice Island, where architectural history, tropical beauty, and the relaxed Florida lifestyle come together. Built in 1966, this distinctive three-bedroom, two-bath pool home is one of Ruth Richmond's model homes, representing a special chapter in Venice's architectural history. A Piece of Venice's Architectural Heritage Ruth Richmond was one of Southwest Florida's pioneering female homebuilders and designers. Bringing her creative background and unique eye for design into residential construction, she helped shape the character of homes throughout the Sarasota area and surrounding communities during the mid-century era. Her homes were known for thoughtful details, distinctive design elements, and a practical approach to Florida living. Today, they hold a special place in Southwest Florida's residential history. This home offers a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of that legacy. Its distinctive interior details, including decorative doorknobs and moldings, reflect the personality and charm of its era. Combined with thoughtful updates, this residence brings together the character of yesterday and the comforts of today. One of the most charming features of this property is its thoughtfully designed outdoor setting. Beautiful butterfly gardens, complete with fountains, garden walls, and sitting benches, create special places to slow down, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or taking a quiet moment at the end of the day, these gardens present a lovely sense of privacy and tranquility. Adding to the tropical atmosphere are fruit trees, including mango, papaya, and avocado. The backyard is designed for entertaining and enjoying the Florida lifestyle, featuring a heated saltwater swimming pool, outdoor shower, and oversized deck with plenty of room for gathering. With a new salt cell installed in 2024, a new variable-speed pool pump in 2025, and a pool heater, the pool area is ready to be enjoyed. Comfortable Living with thoughtful updates inside, this inviting three-bedroom, two-bath home offers a welcoming kitchen and dining combination featuring stainless steel GE appliances and distinctive Curava countertops, crafted with seashells and recycled glass. Electric blinds and pocket sliding glass doors in both the kitchen/dining area and primary bedroom. Tile flooring and distinctive mid-century details complement the home's individual character. The HVAC system was installed in 2024, with a separate mini-split air-conditioning system in the primary bedroom. The home was re-piped and its sewer lines replaced in 2015. The main roof installed 2012, and the property also features solar panels, hurricane shutters and separate irrigation well. Situated on Venice Island in the OPI zoning district, this property is within walking distance of historic downtown Venice and the wonderful shops, restaurants, and hometown atmosphere of Venice Main Street. Enjoy nearby shuffleboard, pickleball, and tennis, or take a leisurely bike ride to beautiful Venice Beach. Whether it's morning coffee downtown, an afternoon enjoying the Gulf, a game of pickleball, or a relaxing evening in your tropical backyard, this location makes it easy to enjoy everything that makes Venice such a wonderful place to call home.
