Looking for a little slice of Florida paradise? Whether you’re here full-time or part-time, this lovely 1 BR/1 BA condo in the wonderful 55+ community of Bay Island is the one for you. Light and bright, with a peaceful water view from the bedroom, this 600 square-foot unit is move-in ready and waiting for its new owner. Walking in, this condo feels even bigger because the kitchen was opened up to the living room to create a more functional main living space. The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry and a cozy eat-in area, perfect for a bistro table. The bathroom has been updated with a modern vanity and tiled walk-in shower. The bedroom is quite spacious and has a walk-in closet, plus access to the lanai – the perfect place to start your day or relax and unwind to end your day with sunset views. There’s no carpet in this unit, just ceramic tile flooring throughout. The upgraded windows and lanai sliding door are impact resistant, there’s an on-demand, tankless hot water heater (less than a year old), the HVAC was replaced in 2021, and this condo comes with a covered parking spot. If you want to move in with nothing more than your toothbrush, this unit can be sold fully furnished, or if you’d prefer your own styling, it can be sold unfurnished.
