Property Description
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Venice Island history. The Scott-Wimmers home, a Mediterranean revival bungalow, was built in 1926 by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for their accountant J.H. Scott. Years later, 326 Pedro Street was the family home of H.N. “Bud” Wimmers, a prominent resident who was instrumental in the development of Venice. Bud, his wife Mildred and daughter Patsy adored this property and cared for it for 33 years. The current owner of the home has been a loving steward for the past 22 years and has meticulously maintained the residence. The property spans 3,344 square feet with six bedrooms and five bathrooms across the main home and two additional buildings. The home has undergone tasteful restoration while maintaining its original character, including a major addition in the back and the installation of an antique brick courtyard between the main house and the carriage house building. As you enter the main home you are greeted by the most charming family room with the original coral and limestone rock fireplace which was built with coral from Venice Beach. Featuring period wall sconces and original white oak flooring, this room is the epitome of vintage elegance. Enjoy your morning coffee in the adjacent sun porch with original floor-to-ceiling arched windows. Continue through the family room to the dining room replete with original period light fixtures. Relax and recharge in the three bedrooms brimming with character, including a primary bedroom with en suite and a lovely guest bathroom with original lighting and period details. A charming kitchen and adjacent dining room with restored original chandelier and French doors leading outside complete the main home. Connected by a bright and light breezeway with separate entrance, the back addition to the home provides an additional family room with wood-burning fireplace, darling black and white kitchen and two en-suite bedrooms, including a second-floor primary suite with private balcony. As we continue back through the breezeway, we follow the reclaimed brick pathway to the original carriage house complete with a two-car garage and an enchanting upstairs studio apartment, ideal for guests or a potential rental. The brick courtyard and pergola provide a wonderful space to enjoy the gorgeous Florida weather. Stroll to the shops and restaurants of Miami and Venice Avenue from your back gate and take advantage of all that Venice Island offers. For nearly a century, 326 Pedro Street has been a residence for those dedicated to enriching and serving the Venice community. The historical importance of this home in the context of Venice history is truly remarkable. This amazing property awaits the next caretaker who will continue the rich legacy of this exceptional residence.
