Venus--Is She Destined to be Hell?

Back home, Venus is a twin planet with serious issues. The average surface temperature is 900 degrees Fahrenheit, atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater than ours and carbon dioxide makes up 96% of the atmosphere.
Which is unfortunate, because we actually thought Venus to be a beautiful planet, hence the name.
So let's say we reduce the amount of Venus' atmospheric CO2 from 96% to 15%, and fill in the rest with oxygen and water vapor. Would its proximity to the sun and pressure still make Venus hostile, or would it be possible for life to take hold on Venus?
note: no terraforming
