Description

The Gardenia House | Golden Beach

Architecturally distinctive Golden Beach residence just steps from private deeded beach access. Inspired by Prairie-style design principles, this 4 bedroom home offers 3,364 sq ft of thoughtfully updated living space with a strong emphasis on horizontal lines, overhanging eaves, and natural light.

Originally expanded with a three-story addition in 1999 and extensively renovated over time, the home reflects an effective build year of 2005, with updates to electrical, HVAC, plumbing, kitchen, and baths.

Lush tropical landscaping surrounds the property, creating a private setting with multiple outdoor living areas, including a screened lanai with pool and a rooftop deck with Gulf views.

Interior features include wide-plank hardwood floors, custom millwork, vaulted ceilings with stained beams, and a light-filled living room with fireplace and walls of glass. The expanded kitchen offers custom cabinetry, stone countertops, premium 2025 appliances, and views of the gardens and pool.

Two primary suites provide private balconies, fireplaces, sitting areas, walk-in closets, and well-appointed baths. Additional highlights include impact-rated windows and doors, storm protection, a flexible bonus space (office/library), and two laundry rooms.

Located on quiet Gardenia Drive, just blocks to downtown Venice dining, shopping, and cultural amenities. Deeded beach access includes a pavilion, golf cart parking, and a private stretch of Gulf shoreline.

A rare offering combining architectural character, privacy, and proximity to the Gulf. Opportunity to acquire adjoining parcel in conjunction with this offering (not included in list price).
