About this home
Coastal living takes on an easy, old-Florida rhythm at 340 Fordham Road in South Venice, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath split-plan home with two primary suites, a one-car attached garage, and something rarely offered here: an adjoining 8,000-square-foot lot that conveys with the property. Hurricane impact windows and doors, solar panels, and a new roof mean the heavy lifting is already done, and eligibility for optional membership in the South Venice Beach Endowment Trust, with its private ferry to South Venice Beach, sets you up for Gulf Coast life from day one. New wood-look porcelain flooring (2025), laid in a distinctive bordered pattern, runs through the living, dining, and kitchen areas, starting in a living room where a vaulted ceiling keeps the space open and airy.
The dining area sits beneath a black iron chandelier, flanked by built-in white cabinetry with glass-front uppers and butcher-block counters, while a wide, wood-trimmed opening frames a view through to the Florida room. The kitchen was redone in 2024 with new white shaker cabinetry, matte black hardware, dark veined countertops, and a white subway tile backsplash under a stained wood-plank ceiling, all paired with a full suite of brand-new Samsung Bespoke appliances. The walk-in pantry works like a second prep space, with an L-shaped butcher-block counter, corner lazy Susan shelving, and open shelving on decorative iron brackets.
The Florida room is where the coastal feel settles in: a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, a ceiling fan, and windows on two sides overlooking the garden, an easy spot for morning coffee as the light pours in. The split floor plan places a primary suite on each side of the home, each with its own private bath finished in marble. One bath features a marble hexagon mosaic floor, a vessel sink, white tile with a bold black accent band, and a frameless sliding glass shower with matte black hardware and a multi-function shower panel.
The other pairs marble plank floors with a carved-wood vanity, granite top, vessel sink, white shiplap walls, and a rain-glass shower door. Shiplap barn doors on black sliding hardware complete the beach-cottage feel. Out back, the fenced yard is designed for easy upkeep, with gravel landscaping, flowering yellow trees, a white picket-fenced garden with an arbor, a patio seating area, and a turquoise barn-style shed with a metal roof.
The adjoining lot adds even more room to garden, expand outdoor living, or plan for what's next. Updates: solar panels, impact windows and doors throughout, and a larger, more efficient AC and air handler (2021); whole-home tankless water heater (2022); mineral filtration and reverse osmosis system (2023); well pump upgrade from 1.5 to 2.5 capacity and sediment filter (2024); new roof (March 2025). Optional Trust membership includes the private beach ferry, a community boat ramp, and a kayak and paddleboard launch on Lemon Bay.
Caspersen Beach, known for its fossilized shark teeth, the Venice Fishing Pier, Manasota Key, the Legacy Trail, and historic downtown Venice are all close by, with US-41 and I-75 in easy reach. Two primary suites, a second lot, and this list of updates don't often come together in South Venice. Schedule your private showing today.

Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $340,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 47% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1991 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 60 active listings competing, 37 under contract
- 12 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $340,000 ($304/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 340 Fordham Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1991 (35 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Sarasota County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,117 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $3,570/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 340 Fordham Road and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 340 Fordham Road was built in 1991 and has 1,117 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 340 Fordham Road in?
340 Fordham Road is in South Venice in Venice, Sarasota County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for South Venice from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 340 Fordham Road differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $3,570 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 340 Fordham Road in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
