This authentic Old Florida waterfront home blends timeless character with carefully curated modern updates. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on a .22-acre tropical lot with 146 feet of waterfront, this home sits along a peaceful canal with access to Lake Ida and Lake Osbourne in the sought-after Venetian Isles enclave of Boynton Beach. Visiting butterflies & native birds flourish in the lush landscaping creating a serene, nature-filled setting. Built in 1968, this solid CBS home was designed to last and still showcases its original architectural charm, including curved popcorn ceilings and a classic front bay window. This concrete block home was built extra tough during the Cuban Missile crisis and features a very rare modified bitumen roof over a concrete deck (replaced in 2014) with concrete trusses. And the French drainage system is superior to current gutters. Thoughtful improvements enhance the home while still maintaining its charm including a complete redesign of the kitchen and bathrooms and new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the main living areas. The heart of the home is the open kitchen, lovingly remodeled with warm gray wood cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, soft-close drawers, and a large island with seating for two. Stainless steel appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator, cooktop, and microwave. Entertain with ease in the formal dining room where French doors open to a screened patio overlooking the tranquil outdoors. Additional upgrades include accordion shutters throughout, a new seawall, 2024 A/C, 2024 tankless water heater, 2017 seawall and updated blinds. This is a rare opportunity to own a true Old Florida gem that's been thoughtfully brought up to date in a No HOA community close to shops, restaurants, beaches and major highways. Enjoy true 'island living" in the beautiful Venetian Isle community of only 57 homes in Boynton Beach.
