Venice House Summary

This rare, authentic, restored 50's Ocala block Venice Island home is in the 'Sarasota School of Architecture' tradition. This three-bedroom/two bath home features beamed high ceilings, fireplace, and clerestory windows. It's situated in a wonderful location -- just three blocks from the beach on the Island of Venice, walking distance to downtown Venice & a few minutes drive from Sarasota. This is an architect designed trip back in time with original terrazzo floors, rich cypress walls and built-in cypress cabinetry. Based on the 1950's, Ralph Twitchell design & built by his son. The home is furnished in authentic retro style with original Heywood Wakefield furniture. From the fiesta ware dishes, 50's cutlery, and the canary yellow stove, to the whimsically decorated and brightly colored bedrooms -- this house is a fun journey through the 1950's. 50's movies, records, CDs and retro games stock the entertainment cabinet.

In a state of famous beaches, Venice Beach stands out as the shark's tooth capital of the world. Luckily, sharks are a rare sight, but thousands of their prehistoric teeth are washed up on the beach every day alongside the vibrant shells for which the west coast is known. Venice Beach also has one of the last full-length piers on Florida's west coast, an outstanding fishing site. Sharkey's, directly on the Pier, provides drinks & tropical fare with musical accompaniment. Water sports abound-swimming, fishing, snorkeling, boating, skim boarding, boogie boarding ... Jet ski's, & all varieties of boats are readily available for rent. The Bay Lady offers guided tours of Venice's waterways. Every April brings the Shark's Tooth and Seafood Festival. In addition Venice hosts the Orchid Festival, the Hibiscus Festival, the Italian Heritage Festival, and numerous others throughout the year. The Venice/Sarasota area is considered a golf capital because of its more than 60 golf courses.

Notes: The chrome, curves, vivid colors & accessories all evoke the era of Elvis, Eisenhower & the space age. The gentle sea breezes waft through the clerestory windows to create a naturally cool space. The home is a shrine to the time when America cut loose after the depression & World War II. The home also contains all the modern conveniences such as large flat screen LCD cable TV, additional master BR TV, 2 VCRs, DVD player, CD player, wireless internet service, turntable, washer/dryer, stainless steel appliances including Bosch Dishwasher, microwave, & central air-conditioning. Retro rattan patio furniture, backyard grill, hammock and bicycles complete the fun. Fruit trees, dramatic flowering royal poinciana trees & lush tropical landscaping surround the house. You haven't seen a house like this in 50 years. The beach is a mere 15 houses away & charming historic downtown is walking distance.
