A Courtyard Cutie by the Coast Kick off your sandals and let the sunshine in—this bright and breezy 3-bedroom, 2-bath courtyard retreat is everything you love about Florida living. Nestled in the peaceful, palm-lined streets of Chestnut Creek, one of Venice’s most beloved communities, you’re just 11 minutes to Venice Beach—a shell seeker’s dream and shark tooth paradise. This home was made for easy living, warm gatherings, and quiet moments with a tropical breeze. Step through the front door into your private courtyard oasis, where a detached casita bedroom opens right into the sun. It’s perfect for hosting guests, setting up your art studio, yoga sanctuary, or working-from-home with a view. A second guest bedroom features a clever Murphy bed that tucks away with ease, keeping the space flexible. The owner’s suite is your personal spa haven—complete with a walk-in stone shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a roomy walk-in closet hidden behind elegant pocket doors. Inside, the home flows beautifully with cool tile flooring, breezy ceiling fans, and plantation shutters that bring in coastal charm. Triple sliding glass doors open the living space to your screened-in tropical courtyard and cocktail pool—totally private, fully caged, and ready for sunrise coffee or starlit swims under the stars.
