Ann Marie Badalamente

My husband and I have been vacationing in Venice for a few years with plans on purchasing a second home. Since we would only use it part-time we decided to purchase a condo instead. This unit came up for sale and we purchased it site-unseen from NY with the help of our realtor. We gutted the entire unit and remodeled it with the help of a local contractor. We wanted the design and feel of the unit to be warm and inviting. I know the decor is not the typical "beachy" design but we love it and I know you will, too!We own a seasonal italian ice business back on Long Island so we are fortunate enough to be able to close for the winter months and come down and enjoy the warm weather for a 3 out of the 4 months. The year-round residents of Westchester Gardens are the nicest group of people you will ever meet. We are so happy to call Westchester Gardens our home!
