Situated amongst a collection of vintage and contemporary homes at the Venezia Park Historical District, this iconic 1926 John Nolen era home, known locally as "The Lion House," has been refined to preserve its legacy while living for today. The focal point of this special home is a grand chimney on the facade with mirrored symmetry on either side. The architectural elements are carried through to the round tile on the upper chimney and the fine details surrounding the entry door. As with all good design, the architectural elements pull one's eye gently around the facade, from the curved patio for 2 off the living room, to the breezeway and wrought iron fenced backyard. The first floor flows effortlessly, large and light-filled, from the living room to dining room, and family room. The kitchen has been magnificently renovated with the finest materials and appliances, including a Thermador 6 burner cooktop. Representative of its attention to detail, the kitchen has a wet bar, and concealed cutting board and microwave. Tucked away is a powder room. Leading up the hardwood staircase to the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms, replete with large closets, organized systems, storage, laundry room and guest bath with claw foot tub and shower. The master en-suite is finished with Venetian plaster, port-hole window, 3 closets, dual sinks and frameless glass shower. Hardwood floors permeate most living spaces, interspersed with multiple sets of French doors to the outdoors, arched windows and walls, stained glass inserts and iron balconies. A long driveway runs to the detached 2-car garage, including a workshop area, plumbed for HVAC. A fenced yard is the perfect spot for your favorite fur-haired friend. A short walk or bike ride away are the quant shops, dining, beaches, cultural venues and other recreational activities of charming Venice Island.
