340 FORDHAM ROAD

VENICE, FL 34293

Coastal living takes on an easy, old-Florida rhythm at 340 Fordham Road in South Venice, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath split-plan home with two primary suites, a one-car attached garage, and something rarely offered here: an adjoining 8,000-square-foot lot that conveys with the property. Hurricane impact windows and doors, solar panels, and a new roof mean the heavy lifting is already done, and eligibility for optional membership in the South Venice Beach Endowment Trust, with its private ferry to South Venice Beach, sets you up for Gulf Coast life from day one. New wood-look porcelain flooring (2025), laid in a distinctive bordered pattern, runs through the living, dining, and kitchen areas, starting in a living room where a vaulted ceiling keeps the space open and airy. The dining area sits beneath a black iron chandelier, flanked by built-in white cabinetry with glass-front uppers and butcher-block counters, while a wide, wood-trimmed opening frames a view through to the Florida room. The kitchen was redone in 2024 with new white shaker cabinetry, matte black hardware, dark veined countertops, and a white subway tile backsplash under a stained wood-plank ceiling, all paired with a full suite of brand-new Samsung Bespoke appliances. The walk-in pantry works like a second prep space, with an L-shaped butcher-block counter, corner lazy Susan shelving, and open shelving on decorative iron brackets. The Florida room is where the coastal feel settles in: a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, a ceiling fan, and windows on two sides overlooking the garden, an easy spot for morning coffee as the light pours in. The split floor plan places a primary suite on each side of the home, each with its own private bath finished in marble. One bath features a marble hexagon mosaic floor, a vessel sink, white tile with a bold black accent band, and a frameless sliding glass shower with matte black hardware and a multi-function shower panel. The other pairs marble plank floors with a carved-wood vanity, granite top, vessel sink, white shiplap walls, and a rain-glass shower door. Shiplap barn doors on black sliding hardware complete the beach-cottage feel. Out back, the fenced yard is designed for easy upkeep, with gravel landscaping, flowering yellow trees, a white picket-fenced garden with an arbor, a patio seating area, and a turquoise barn-style shed with a metal roof. The adjoining lot adds even more room to garden, expand outdoor living, or plan for what's next. Updates: solar panels, impact windows and doors throughout, and a larger, more efficient AC and air handler (2021); whole-home tankless water heater (2022); mineral filtration and reverse osmosis system (2023); well pump upgrade from 1.5 to 2.5 capacity and sediment filter (2024); new roof (March 2025). Optional Trust membership includes the private beach ferry, a community boat ramp, and a kayak and paddleboard launch on Lemon Bay. Caspersen Beach, known for its fossilized shark teeth, the Venice Fishing Pier, Manasota Key, the Legacy Trail, and historic downtown Venice are all close by, with US-41 and I-75 in easy reach. Two primary suites, a second lot, and this list of updates don't often come together in South Venice. Schedule your private showing today.
