This fifth-level end unit, with elevator access, has been tastefully remodeled. It offers three bedrooms, three full en-suite baths, a screened/glassed-in lanai for entertaining, all while watching spectacular sunsets over the Intracoastal Waterway, Casey Key, Siesta Key and Gulf of Mexico. This designer-renovated unit offers one of the largest floor plans in the development and gives you an open-air feel, with an abundance of natural light and water views from every window. The expansive kitchen has a quartz countertop island with seating for six, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar and plenty of pantry storage. You'll also find engineered bamboo floors, volume ceilings, upgraded baseboards and designer lighting. New impact windows and lanai sliding glass doors installed in 2023 along with a roll-down hurricane shutter for the front door just in case the weather gets fickle. The community has a renovated clubhouse featuring a catering kitchen with countertop seating, a fully stocked reading library, a professional fitness room, an entertainment and media area, and a dining room. The amenities also include a heated pool and spa with an expansive sundeck, a grass-thatched tiki hut with grilling stations, a lighted tennis court, two lighted pickleball courts, a kayak launch, and a 500-yard elevated wood boardwalk that meanders through lush mangrove and palm fields that lead out to a handsome observation pier that provides stunning sunsets and excellent fishing. This is an amazing location because you're on the water, inside a gated community and are close to nearby restaurants and shopping. Bike the Legacy Trail which offers 20 miles of bicycling. The beaches are so close, eight miles to Siesta Key, the No. 1 beach in the U.S., and just four miles to Nokomis Beach. It's a quick drive to downtown Venice and Sarasota for restaurants and performing arts, including ballet, opera, concerts and musicals. Visit this unique waterfront community and don't forget to check out the private oversized two-car garage.
