Property Description
The Gardenia House - Breath Taking Views of the Gulf from Rare Rooftop Lounge Deck. Situated in the heart of coveted Golden Beach, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 5-bath residence offers a rare blend of classical elegance and contemporary refinements, all just steps from a secluded deeded beach access. Influenced by the famous architect Frank Loyd Wright, the Gardenia House reflects some of his earliest Prairie Style designs identifiable by its large overhanging eaves, and strong horizontal lines. Located along the prestigious Gardenia Drive, the home boasts 3,364 sq. ft. of masterfully crafted living space. The redesigned gardens wrap the property in a lush, tropical oasis, with multiple serene outdoor living areas, including a rooftop balcony with breathtaking Gulf views, and a spacious screened lanai with a sparkling pool. Inside, timeless craftsmanship meets modern luxury. From vintage wide-plank hardwood floors to detailed custom trim, elegant marble baths, and dramatic vaulted ceilings with rich stained beams, the home exudes character at every turn. The grand living room features a stately fireplace and is filled with natural light from walls of windows and sliding doors. The beautifully expanded chef's kitchen offers abundant stone counter space, premium 2025 appliances, custom cabinetry, and a tiled backsplash, all framed by large windows that showcase the pool and garden views. Dual master suites, each featuring private balconies, fireplaces, richly stained wainscoting, large sitting areas, walk-in closets with custom shelving, and classic yet luxurious bathrooms. Additional highlights include many new impact-resistant windows and sliders, storm shutters, several renovated bathrooms in keeping with the home's historic charm, a spacious multi-function room perfect as a home office, media room, or studio, and two laundry rooms. Two garage spaces can be converted, then providing the home with three total garage spaces. The home is also being sold with most of the beautiful period furnishings. Located just blocks from downtown Venice, you'll enjoy the ease of walking, biking, or taking a golf cart to gourmet dining, boutique shopping, renowned Venice Library and Art Center, art festivals, farmers markets, and top-rated Venice Elementary and High Schools. The deeded beach access, just steps away, features a charming pavilion, golf cart parking, and a peaceful stretch of sand for residents to enjoy. A rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural and artistic history, offering unmatched privacy, beauty, and beachside living on a quiet street in one of the Gulf Coast's most sought-after neighborhoods.
