Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 1316 Fir Avenue, nestled on one of the most attractive streets in the desirable East Gate neighborhood, just a few miles from the Gulf and Historic Downtown Venice. This well-maintained home has been lovingly enjoyed by its owners for many years and offers wonderful curb appeal from the moment you arrive. With 1,549 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the floor plan blends traditional charm with modern functionality. A welcoming formal entryway opens to the spacious living and dining room, where a large picture window perfectly frames the sweeping oak tree in the front yard. The clean, well-organized kitchen features raised-panel cabinetry and a peninsula that overlooks the expansive family room highlighted by three large windows, creating a bright and inviting gathering space. Glass sliders lead from the family room into the Florida room enclosed with acrylic windows, an ideal spot to enjoy the Florida sunshine and natural surroundings in comfort throughout the seasons. The home’s split-bedroom layout provides excellent privacy, further enhanced by several tucked-away pocket doors that can separate the kitchen and family room areas when desired. Bedroom windows are thoughtfully positioned higher on the walls to allow in natural light while maintaining privacy. Curb appeal shines with a sparkling paver driveway, fresh exterior paint, and a charming covered entryway. The backyard is equally delightful, featuring a lovely paver patio shaded by a Florida-friendly olive tree, plus an 11' x 10' shed with shelving and electricity - perfect for gardening tools, hobbies, or extra storage. The nearly fully fenced yard offers a flat, grassy area ideal for pets, play, or outdoor enjoyment.
