Perfect home for full-time Florida living or a great investment property in highly sought-after Siesta Key! Centrally located at an unbeatable price, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath ground-level condo offers incomparable value. Can be furnished (with the exception of a few personal items) or unfurnished. Neither the unit nor the complex sustained flooding or material damage from the 2024 hurricanes - making it a smart, secure choice on Siesta Key. Tucked into a popular community and just steps from the main pool, this unit boasts prime placement. Inside, you'll find recent upgrades throughout, including new Mohawk flooring, tiled lanai, upgraded washer, dryer, and stove, and stylish new ceiling fans. Exterior recently painted providing a fresh upgrade and additional upcoming improvements include road resurfacing and new pool tiling. An oversized primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and en-suite bath. The spacious second bedroom includes a double closet and access to a full bath. With east and west exposure, the condo enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The kitchen includes a cozy nook for a dining table, a bar area with room for stools, and a pantry closet - perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A rare and desirable feature: there’s no unit above, offering extra light, added privacy, and peaceful quiet. Enjoy the outdoors from your choice of three spaces: the front patio, side patio, or the screened lanai with sliders overlooking the fountain, pond, and frequent visits from turtles and native birds. Residents and guests at Gulf & Bay Bayside have perpetual deeded access to a private stretch of Siesta Key’s white sand beach directly across the street at the Gulf & Bay Club—an incredibly rare and valuable perk. Additional community amenities include two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, six barbecue grills, a walking path, fishing dock with sunrise and sunset views, a gym, and a party room. Guest parking is located throughout the community for added convenience. With its ideal location, thoughtful upgrades, and unique features, this condo is a great buy!
