Property Description
The Blue Finn Bungalow - Vintage Charm Meets Modern Living on Venice Island! Welcome to a timeless retreat nestled in the heart of Venice Island’s coveted Gulf Shores neighborhood. Just two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico, this lovingly cared-for home offers the ideal blend of historic charm and thoughtful modern updates. Enjoy the laid-back Island lifestyle in a home that has been cherished and improved by four generations of family. This 1,636-square-foot bungalow features three bedrooms and two baths, including a spacious in-law suite with its own private entrance and direct access to the main home—perfect for guests, extended family, or conversion into a luxurious primary suite or creative studio. As you step inside, you’re greeted by a soft coastal color palette and beautiful original terrazzo floors that immediately evoke the home’s mid-century character. Two of the bedrooms share a bright and charming bathroom with vintage tile and an updated vanity. The quaint eat-in kitchen opens to a sun-drenched family room, where abundant windows showcase views of the expansive .39-acre lot. A cozy dining area and den with warm Florida pine ceilings guide you to the in-law suite, featuring vaulted ceilings, a full kitchen, generous closet space, and its own full bath—well suited for multi-generational living or personal retreat. Step outside to enjoy the Florida sunshine on the 19’ x 16’ patio, ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing, or entertaining. The detached one-car garage includes a built-in workbench and two large storage closets, while an exterior utility room houses irrigation equipment and offers additional storage. Eleven new impact glass windows, two new impact rated doors, and a high and dry X flood zone location provide peace of mind. Additional improvements just in the past two years include a new AC system, water heater, electrical panel, kitchen appliances, washer & dryer, rain gutters, exterior paint, blown-in attic insulation, and plumbing fixtures. Best of all, this home is being offered turnkey furnished, allowing you to move in and start enjoying life on the Island immediately. Blue Finn Bungalow is located in the charming Gulf Shores neighborhood, where residents enjoy two private deeded beach access points with an optional $50/year membership. You're just a short walk or bike ride from the Venice Fishing Pier, Sharkey’s, Fins, Brohard Dog Beach, and multiple parks and recreation areas. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or planning to build your dream home on this expansive lot, the possibilities are endless. Come experience the perfect blend of vintage Florida charm and modern Island living.
