About this home
Coastal Chic Meets Bayfront Serenity This is the one you've been waiting for. Nestled in the premier Runaway Bay community, this stunning 2BR/2BA ground-floor unit has been masterfully reimagined with a fresh, coastal-modern aesthetic that feels like a high-end boutique retreat. Fully turnkey and meticulously maintained, this home offers the rare trifecta of pond, fountain, and partial bay views right from your doorstep. The Modern Makeover: No detail was spared in this top-to-bottom renovation (2024-2025). From the moment you walk in, the space feels bright, airy, and effortlessly cool. Gourmet Kitchen: Sleek white shaker cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse-style sink, and a high-end stainless steel appliance package (including a French door fridge). Designer Flooring: Beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the living areas, offering durability without sacrificing style. Spa-Like Baths: Both bathrooms are fully modernized with custom tile work, walk-in glass showers, and contemporary black hardware. Infrastructure & Peace of Mind: Rest easy with a brand-new HVAC system and water heater. Outdoor Living & Island Life - Step out onto your private patio to watch the fountain dance on the lake or the Sea birds land on the bay. Alternatively, take a short stroll to the community's private fishing dock to catch the sunrise over Sarasota Bay. Beach Access: Enjoy two private, deeded beach access points - white sands and turquoise Gulf waters are just steps away. Award-Winning Amenities: Runaway Bay is home to the largest saltwater heated pool on Anna Maria Island, plus a recently renovated clubhouse, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and a kayak launch. Turnkey Ready: Whether you're looking for a personal sanctuary, a seasonal getaway, or a high-performing investment (thanks to the 7-day minimum rental policy), this unit is truly "plug and play." With a professional furniture package included, the only thing missing is your suitcase. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of paradise in one of the island's most amenity-rich communities.
