About this home
This exquisite turnkey furnished 2-bed, 2-bath villa has been fully and meticulously RENOVATED—not a detail overlooked, not an expense spared. Step inside and instantly feel the difference: an open-concept layout, a serene neutral palette, elegant recessed LED lighting, solid core doors with iron hardware, and tile wood grain flooring throughout for a sleek, modern, allergen-free environment. And the beauty isn’t just cosmetic—this home has been rebuilt from the inside out. Enjoy complete peace of mind with NEW electrical and plumbing, a 2023 HVAC, 2026 water heater, 2021 ROOF, fresh interior/exterior paint, and HURRICANE-IMPACT windows and sliders. There is plenty of space to store bikes and beach gear together with the 2026 GE stackable washer/dryer, for added everyday convenience. The expansive eat-in kitchen is a dream for cooks and entertainers alike. It shines with GE stainless appliances, including a slide-in 5-burner convection range, exterior-vented architectural hood, and French-door refrigerator with multi-drawer freezer. Custom cabinetry with crown moulding, soft-close hardware, dovetail drawers, and stunning quartzite countertops with full-height backsplash deliver both beauty and function. A nearby dining area features a custom buffet bar with glass display cabinets—the perfect blend of storage and sophistication. Single-story living makes everything effortless, and the covered carport even includes a “Tesla” charging outlet. Your private patio opens to lush tropical gardens—ideal for morning coffee, BBQs, or al fresco dining under the stars. Windward Bay offers a lifestyle that feels like a private resort. Enjoy three beach accesses, bay access, kayak/paddleboard launches and storage (just $35/year), plus two marinas with slips available on first-come-first -serve basis for $60/month (you can install your own lift—yes, lifts are allowed!). Amenities abound: 2 communal pools, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, a clubhouse with fitness center, locker rooms, saunas, lending library, and a fully equipped catering kitchen with banquet hall. Spread across 26 ACRES of beautifully landscaped grounds along a half-mile of Sarasota Bay, the community features peaceful walking/biking paths shaded by banyan trees, dotted with bougainvillea, and scented with lemon trees. PET-FRIENDLY (two pets up to 75 lbs!) and rental-friendly (two leases per year, minimum one month), it’s flexible for both owners and investors. Even better? The community recently completed its structural MILESTONE INSPECTION—passed and certified for the next 10 years. For peace of mind, flood insurance is included in the Condo fee. This is your chance to own a completely renovated, worry-free villa in a coveted coastal community—at an incredible value. Embrace the beach lifestyle and claim your tranquil Longboat Key haven today.
