Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY! THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY! A blank palette to create the home that you have always dreamed of awaits. Why spend $30,000 for deconstructing and removal down to the studs of an original Windward Bay Condominium, when the work has already been completed and ready for you? Location, Location, Location! Finished remodeled condos on the same floor have sold in the $800,000 range and the highest Windward Bay interior, 2nd floor condo with reconfigured floor plan, sold at $900,000. Prepare to be enthralled by the mesmerizing beauty of the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay and the sense of "Old Florida Tranquility". Bask in the serenity of moonlit nights or wake up to breathtaking sunrises from each of your bayfront rooms. Imagine viewing the graceful Manatees from the comfort of your own home! Florida's gentle giants return each year to live right below your condo's living and florida room windows, which is the #1 reason that the current owners, for over two decades, purchased this second home! Memories the sellers will forever cherish are the cacophony of bird viewings they experienced daily, which includes: a great blue heron and rare yellow crested night heron that live in the mangrove tree to the left of their window, an osprey who will fly very close to the Florida Room to show off his catch, the nearby eagle and owl neighbors that they looked forward to seeing during the week, the dancing dolphins, the continuous jumping of the mullet fish, and their greatest memory of all was indeed the manatees right below. They witnessed the birth of many baby manatees over the years and had the honor of observing a mother manatee leading her baby to its first breath of air. "It is an amazing place to observe the Awesomeness of Nature." The circumstances for Professional water remediation and deconstruction down to the studs, was not related to hurricane damage. Clean and certified Lab air analysis reports are available upon request. The community of Windward Bay is set like a jewel on the barrier island of Longboat Key. Flourishing on 26 acres that are well-manicured, beautifully landscaped, and graced with half a mile of water-front nature trails. Windward Bay possesses one deeded and two public beach access points to the uncrowded sandy beaches of Longboat Key. A designated parking space and spacious owner's closet is yours (For all your beach toys and bicycles) located on the first level parking garage. Windward Bay on Longboat Key, is a low-density residence and a nature lover's delight with unparalleled amenities that include: Two tennis/pickleball courts, 2 marinas with 28 boat & jet ski slips for a low monthly fee (first come first served), a barbecue grill for each midrise, fishing pier, 2 fish cleaning stations, kayak racks, 2 heated pools, shuffleboard, bike racks, clubhouse, library, fitness room, meeting room, 2 saunas, and community fire pits throughout the property. Conveniently accessible to Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, Anna Maria Island, Historic Cortez Fishing Village, Championship Golf Courses, renowned restaurants, shopping destinations, and vibrant cultural attractions, you'll never have a shortage of entertainment options. Welcome home to Pet Friendly Windward Bay, where TWO pets are allowed. This "Once in a Lifetime" Condo is the paradigm of contemporary Longboat Key "Gulf to Bay Living". Book your showing today, live the life and create the perfect home you have always dreamed of!
