Discover coastal living in this classic 2-bedroom, 2-bath concrete-block cottage ideally located on Lemon Bay Drive, just five homes from the South Venice Beach Ferry.

This light-filled home features timeless terrazzo flooring, new windows, a new air conditioning system, and a new water heater. Multiple screened outdoor spaces include a 24' x 10' side patio and a 5' x 22' front patio, perfect for enjoying the Florida breeze. A 10' x 15' bonus room, surrounded by windows and enclosed with pocketing French doors, offers exceptional flexibility—use it as an office, den, creative studio, or convert it into a 3rd bedroom. A large utility closet, currently outfitted as a handyman’s project room, provides valuable extra space for tools, hobbies, or storage. The home is offered turnkey furnished for immediate enjoyment. The backyard offers privacy along with a dedicated pad for kayak storage and a fully enclosed outdoor shower—ideal after a day on the water. Low-cost water-softening equipment and a recently serviced septic system help keep utilities budget-friendly.
