3 bed Venice East Starter Home | 1600+ SqFt, 2-Car, No HOA $250K

Welcome to 442 Mexicali Ave - an affordable opportunity to own in a desirable No HOA, golf cart friendly community in Venice East! Priced at just $250,000, this spacious home offers over 1,600 sq ft of living space plus a 2-car garage. Zoned for Wellen Park High School, it qualifies for the USDA 100% Financing Program, making it an excellent entry point for qualified buyers. While the property shows its age and would benefit from cosmetic updates and some elbow grease to truly shine, it is fully livable and priced accordingly. Several major updates have already been completed: A/C (2021), electrical panel (2018), washer/dryer/oven/refrigerator (2020), and dishwasher/garbage disposal (2025). Inside you'll find a split bedroom plan with a slider for added privacy, walk-in closets, two full bathrooms, a good-sized inside laundry room, and a bonus room converted into a third bedroom. Two sets of HURRICANE IMPACT sliders open to the screened lanai, creating a great indoor-outdoor living space. A convenient pool bath entrance off the master is already in place if you ever want to add a pool. Outside, enjoy the huge backyard with room for pets, kids, entertaining, or storage. Fences up to 8 ft tall are allowed, and boat/RV parking is permitted. The irrigation system is served by a private well, and the home is in an X flood zone with public water and sewer. This home sits in a prime location with easy access to the Venice East Golf Course and the community's excellent recreational park featuring tennis courts, basketball courts, a children's playground, and nature trails. You can walk to the Jacaranda Library and the popular Paws Dog Park. Downtown Wellen Park, shopping, dining, and beaches are all nearby. This is a solid, value-packed home for the hands-on buyer ready to personalize and build equity. Agents may call showing time to schedule. ***OFFERS WILL BE REVIEWED ON MONDAY 7/13/2026***
