This beautifully updated Bay front condo combines modern, minimalist design with high-end finishes and a re-engineered floor plan, offering a unique living experience in the Windward Bay community. The bright, open living space is highlighted by 24-inch porcelain tile that flows seamlessly throughout, creating a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic. The expansive great room and split bedroom layout maximize space and functionality, while a stunning 30-foot wall of new PGT Hurricane Impact Windows offers unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay and abundant natural light. The Owner's Retreat, tucked away for privacy on the far end of the home, features a spacious walk-in closet with conveniently placed in-unit laundry plus an ensuite bathroom complete with a floating double vanity and custom glass-enclosed shower. On the opposite side of the home, the second bedroom provides a peaceful and private guest space, which can also be used flexibly as a home office or additional lounging area. In 2022/2023, the condo underwent a major renovation that included custom LED lighting, Level 5 (smooth) wall finishes, custom tile work, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet accent lighting and high-end finishes including quartz counters, marble mosaic tiles, and custom closets, adding to the home's elegant style. For wonderful peace of mind, the Windward Bay community has successfully passed its Milestone Integrity Inspection Study, certifying the property for another ten years, plus the monthly HOA fee includes the insurances (hazard, hurricane, and flood). For water enthusiasts, first-come/first-served boat slips are available for lease, accommodating up to 30-foot boats or personal watercraft for just $40 per month, or $45 per month with an owner-supplied lift. Windward Bay is also pet-friendly, welcoming two pets up to 75 pounds, even for renters! The community is rich with amenities, offering three beach access points, two heated pools (one ideal for laps), tennis, pickle ball, clubhouse, fitness center, locker rooms, saunas, bike racks, kayak storage and launches, two marinas, fish cleaning stations, BBQ grills, fire pits, outdoor dining areas, walking paths, and on-site professional management. For those looking to generate rental income, the condo can be rented immediately after purchase, with a minimum one-month lease period allowed up to twice per year. Ideally located, the serenity and low density of Windward Bay has easy access to the dining, shopping, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, along with nearby professional marinas and championship golf courses, making this a prime location for both relaxation and adventure.
