400 Base Ave E

A low-rise condominium community on Venice Island, built in 1973 and spread across two stories, the property offers predominantly two-bedroom floorplans (with occasional three-bedroom units) that emphasize open living. Architectural character is modest mid‑20th‑century low-rise construction with screened lanais, sliding doors, and small private balconies tied to many units. Interiors commonly feature open kitchen/living combinations, eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinets and stone or solid-surface counters, built-in shelving, ceiling fans, walk-in closets in primary suites, and in-unit laundry or laundry closets. Units show a mix of finishes from original to updated—vinyl plank or laminate floors, newer HVAC and water heaters in some homes, and contemporary paint. Exterior amenities are low-maintenance and neighborhood‑oriented: landscaped courtyards, irrigation, sidewalks, storage rooms for beach gear, private mailboxes, and covered awnings. Parking is surface-level with assigned spaces and guest parking; the HOA permits short-term seasonal rentals (minimum 30 days), supporting investor use. Pet and other rules vary by association. The complex sits within easy walking or biking distance of Gulf beaches, Sharky’s Pier, downtown Venice restaurants and shops, and local recreation trails, presenting a relaxed, beach-centric lifestyle with modest association fees and a mix of year-round residents and rental investors.
