The MAINSTAY floor plan offers an uncommon option in Bay View, a very active gated 55+ community. Larger than a Mystique (most popular floor plan), it offers great storage and a laundry room within the primary suite. This 2BR/2BA + Den home offers 1,972 sq ft of luxury living with hurricane impact windows/doors, in-wall pest control, and transferable warranties. The gourmet kitchen features KitchenAid appliances, quartz countertops, and an oversized island. Enjoy luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout (no carpet), a den with French doors, and a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-style bath. Relax on the extended screened lanai with peaceful conservation views. Frankly, this home was used rarely and was never decorated. You'll feel its newness when inside. The owner relished the lifestyle on a 2nd visit and immediately built bigger! The extended garage includes epoxy flooring and golf cart space. Resort-style amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, pools, spa, pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts; a community garden, bandshell pavilion, two dog parks and a restaurant, The Sailfish Grill!
