935 Desirade W, Venice, FL 34285

Begin your next chapter in sunny Florida's Gulf Coast. Located in the vibrant 55+ resort-style community of Bay Indies, 935 Desirade is a handyman special that's mostly furnished and ready for someone with a creative eye to make it their own. While the main roof is in good condition, the lanai, shed, and carport roof are currently missing-offering a blank canvas for your imagination to run wild. This home boasts charming curb appeal with a beautifully maintained lawn and mature shrubs that provide shade for the front lanai. A long driveway leads to a shed equipped with a washer, dryer, and utility sink, making everyday tasks a breeze. Inside, the galley kitchen features solid wood cabinets, full appliances, and a stunning lake view from the double sink. The refrigerator has been replaced with an oversized unit, which can be kept or used as a secondary option. Opening up the floor plan would be ideal to enhance the flow between spaces as there is no load bearing wall. The dining area comfortably seats four to six and transitions into a spacious living room furnished with a fairly new sleeper sofa, loveseat, and two occasional chairs. Please note that the large TV does not remain. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home, with carpeting in the guest bedroom. The lanai offers endless possibilities. With the framing in place, you can complete the roof, transform it into an open deck with an umbrella or awning, or finish it as a relaxing entertaining space, screen room or finish enclosure as a home office. There are endless possibilities. The guest bedroom includes a queen bed, built-in dresser between two closets, and a lightly used, fairly new mattress. The primary bath features a tub/shower combo, vanity, linen closet, and a semi-private commode area. The master bedroom is generously sized and comes fully furnished along with a king-sized bed and closet. It leads into a dressing area with a vanity, closet on the left, and a private shower and commode on the right. Vaulted ceilings add to the spacious feel, and the 4-year-old A/C keeps the home comfortable year-round. Measuring approximately 24 by 40 feet, this home is waiting for someone to give it a little love. Whether you're handy yourself or prefer to bring in help, this is a special opportunity at a great price to enjoy the Florida lifestyle and add your personal flair. Come and enjoy life in the Bay Indies 55+ Resort Community in a variety of ways. There are numerous outdoor activities to participate in and keep you active with tennis, pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, corn hole, a kayak launch and storage and a 3 mile walking/biking path surrounding the park. There are three pools, 2 clubhouses with a 3rd state of art club house being built, gym, crafts, and unlimited card games, trivia night, dinners, concerts and so much more. We are located within close proximity to 3 airports and Venice offers restaurants, shopping, fishing, golf, boating and an award winning beach just 2.2 miles away. A casino in Tampa and the Tiger Woods Pop Stroke 2 course putting greens in Sarasota are a must.
