The experience at 1969 Illinois is nothing short of cool vibes with a nod to mid-century flair. This exquisite home provides indoor-outdoor seaside living and an open-air feel reminiscent of a day at the beach. Poised to be enjoyed on 93 ft of a deep water canal, the residence defines style with modern appointments and significant updates from top to bottom. Located in the popular Venetian Isles neighborhood, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, pool home features a highly desired open concept floorplan with two walls that disappear after pocketing the impact and thermal insulated sliding glass doors. In fact, all windows, doors and openings have been updated with WinGuard PGT windows for protection to maximize insurance credits. These updates, coupled with the new tile roof in 2022, provides the next owner confidence in a solid and secure home. Step onto the covered patio and screened pool to your own boater’s paradise, complete with a composite dock and a new remote-controlled 10K lb boat lift (2021), which provides a quick getaway to the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay without any bridge restrictions. Step inside and adore the spacious, fluid floorplan while still honoring dedicated spaces for living, dining, work and play. Anchoring the two entertainment rooms and outdoor living space is the chic kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry, separate pantry, stainless steel appliances, pass-through window to the patio bar, breakfast bar seating and pocket doors providing privacy from adjacent rooms. Two large living rooms are positioned at opposite ends of the home, providing plenty of space for all residents.
