About this home
Striking gold in Golden Beach—and move-in ready for the new owner! Impeccable curb appeal is highlighted by lush, custom landscaping and a gracefully curved paver driveway, welcoming you into this refined mid-century, seaside-chic retreat.
Modernized with a coastal flair, this distinctive pool home offers approximately 2,000 square feet of character-filled living in the highly sought-after Golden Beach community on Venice Island—just one block from the beach. Tucked into this exceptional neighborhood yet minutes from shopping, dining, and local theater, the location strikes the perfect balance between peaceful island living and everyday convenience.
Beyond its short stroll to the shoreline, the home also enjoys private, deeded beach access complete with parking, a gazebo, BBQ area, benches, and an outdoor shower—ideal for unwinding after sun-soaked days by the water. Association membership is optional; for just $50 per year, residents gain access to beach parking, social gatherings, potluck dinners, Mardi Gras celebrations, and an annual membership directory. Adding to the appeal is easy access to the Intracoastal Trail, which connects to the Legacy Trail and provides a scenic biking route to downtown Sarasota.
Inside, three generously sized bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms are unified by tile flooring throughout, creating a clean, cohesive aesthetic. A beautifully designed custom kitchen (with quartz countertops) by Kitchen and Bath on the Isle anchors the home, while plantation shutters bring in that classic coastal feel. The home has been lovingly maintained and is in splendid condition. Impact-resistant doors (pocket sliders) and windows offer durability for coastal living, complemented by thoughtful, quality upgrades including additional attic insulation, a whole-house water conditioning system, a Lennox Pulse HVAC, and a Generac generator—making everyday life comfortable, easy, and worry-free.
Designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living, the screened lanai features a heated, in-ground saltwater pool with an integrated spa, enhanced by a lighted pergola that creates a resort-style ambiance. Built-in speakers set the tone for entertaining or unwinding, while an enclosed outdoor shower adds a touch of everyday luxury. A custom half wall cleverly conceals the pool equipment and doubles as a striking mural feature. The rear property is fully enclosed with clean white vinyl fencing and gates, offering both privacy and polish.
Completing the property is an oversized 1+ garage AND a fabulous detached 20’ x 12.5’ garage/workshop/storage building with cabinetry, electricity, a garage door opener, and a roof that matches the main home—blending functionality with thoughtful design.
And for more good news, this home is in Zone X and there has been no flooding....
