Venice Island residents Genice and Jack Sullivan are selling their three-bedroom, three-bath home but they are not leaving their beloved island. Their current 5,000-square-foot waterfront home at 444 Bayshore Drive is on the market for $3,500,000 through Lueanne Wood of Gulf Shores Realty. While they love the location, their house itself has become more than they want to maintain at this point in their lives. They are going to downsize to a neighborhood not on water that is an easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants.
The house they are selling is one they bought four years ago when they moved from a neighborhood on the island that wasn’t on water. As boaters, they wanted the waterfront lifestyle and this house had it in abundance beautiful vistas of Roberts Bay, a private dock and boat lift, and excellent boating water. “At dead low tide there is still five and a half feet of water at the dock,” said Jack Sullivan, “and there are no bridges to the Gulf.”
