840 The Esplanade N

Completed in 1974, this nine‑story Gulf-front condominium complex contains roughly sixty-one residences, primarily two‑bedroom floorplans. The blocky mid‑century structure presents wide, west‑facing facades and expansive enclosed lanais that were later upgraded with sliding thermal windows and storm‑resistant glazing. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, coffered and tray ceilings, crown moldings, built‑in cabinetry, wet bars or dry bars, open living/dining plans, eat‑in kitchens, in‑unit laundry rooms, and generous storage closets. Shared facilities are oriented to beachfront living and include a large heated outdoor pool and sundeck, landscaped gardens, picnic and grill areas, a club room with a remodeled kitchen and exercise equipment, bike storage, and on‑site maintenance and management. Practical infrastructure improvements noted in community records include cast‑iron pipe replacement and enhanced hurricane protection for lanai glazing; the property maintains dedicated reserves and a full‑time superintendent. Parking is covered with assigned stalls and additional guest parking; short covered walkways provide direct beach access and multiple beach entry points. The building supports a socially active resident community with regular events and offers proximity to the Venice Yacht Club, Freedom Boat Club access nearby, and easy walking distance to historic downtown Venice for dining, arts, and shopping. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit and association rules.
