One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Many homes are listed as Mov-In Ready! When you actually see them, how many really are? This CHESTNUT CREEK property is in the perfect location, close to shopping, the beach, and downtown Venice. It has undergone a TOTAL UPGRADE from top to bottom, inside and out. Nestled in mature landscaping, you will find an exceptional home. The owners are trained in interior design and architectural disciplines. This home you will enjoy without worry. Whole House surge protection was installed, a COMPLETE TEAROFF TILE REROOF was done in 2022, with a wind mitigation and inspection report. In 2025 a new water heater was added and a county requirement for a BACK-FLOW PROTECTION has been inspected and in compliance with their requirement. Step into the home and you will instantly see the amazing use of detailed architectural elements, and high-end finishes. Cathedral Ceilings with whitewashed wood ceilings framed in pickled pine beams are present though-out the home, TRAVERTINE STONE flooring as well. FOYER: The coffered Foyer ceiling as you enter is highlighted by the oversized chandelier - it was acquired from the owners of the Ritz Carlton Pent House in Sarasota. Chair rail was used and raised paneling installed under it continuing into the dining room. Special detail was given to the front door surround, and crown molding was installed where appropriate. Travertine flooring flows through the house. LIVING ROOM: Looking into the Living Room the focal point is the decorative FIREPLACE - the mantle is from a Main-line Philidelphia Mansion, it is an antique ADAM mantle and is highly regarded. The lighting was upgraded to LED ceiling lights and the chandelier was from a Palm Beach Mansion. The banded wrought iron inserted in the 1/2 window is from EGYPT and is 300 years old. The massive built-in bookcase was custom designed with plenty of extra storage in the lower cabinets, a must for Florida homes. As your view shifts to the outside, the 3 panel slider look out unto the LANAI, where a fountain and potted plants become the foreground for the backyard. KITCHEN: The chef's kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a COMBINATION (microwave, convection oven, and air fryer) installed under the counter in the peninsula island. LED lighting was installed in the ceiling and under counter. The Kraft Maid cabinets have lazy Susan shelving in the corner cabinets, pull out drawers, and a silver ware drawer, done in off white and iron hardware. A commercial fan over the slide in stove is vented to the outside. Over the refrigerator cabinet has been modified to handle all over sized trays, cookie sheets, and platters, and long foil or paper rolls. A herringbone marble backsplash completes the look. New low-e glass window and slider handle the heat from the east morning sun. PRIMARY BEDROOM: More ceiling beams, carpet in bedroom and closet. His and Hers walk-in closets and a 5 piece ensuite with separate shower, and water closet. a dual furniture vanity, Venetian mirrors, more beams, a chandlier from a Grosse Point Michigan Automtive magnate, and a beautiful free standing soaker tub all clad in Cararra Marble.
