About this home
ONE OF VENICE’S MOST UNIQUE HOMES — A FULLY RENOVATED CONCRETE DOME HOME WITH ARCHITECTURE YOU SIMPLY DON’T SEE EVERY DAY. Welcome to 2881 Gentian Rd, a completely renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home featuring 1,031 heated square feet across two levels and a design unlike anything else on the market. Built around a solid concrete dome shell, the home features no conventional trusses, rafters, or traditional roof system — creating the unmistakable curved architecture that makes this property truly one of a kind. Inside, the renovation gives the home a clean, modern feel while preserving the character that makes it special. The new kitchen features shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a full-height matching quartz backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a French-door refrigerator. Large-format tile flooring runs throughout, complemented by new lighting, ceiling fans, doors, blinds, and a brand-new AC system. The renovated bathroom features a frameless glass shower, modern finishes, a backlit LED mirror, and an original glass-block window incorporated directly into the curved concrete shell. At the center of the home, a custom black iron spiral staircase leads to the open upper level beneath the dramatic curve of the dome. Cable railing, architectural lighting, and the soaring curved ceiling create a space unlike a typical second floor and give the interior its signature look. Outside, the property continues to stand apart with a fully fenced yard, mature palms, fresh landscaping, stone beds, low-voltage landscape lighting, a thatched entry awning, and a wide crushed-shell driveway with plenty of room for multiple vehicles, a boat, or an RV. No HOA. No CDD. Completely renovated and move-in ready. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, seasonal Florida getaway, or an investment property that guests will actually remember, 2881 Gentian Rd combines genuine character, modern finishes, and an architectural identity all its own. THIS ISN’T ANOTHER COOKIE-CUTTER FLORIDA HOUSE — IT’S THE DOME.
