THE BEST SARASOTA BAY VIEW IS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR! Envision the perfect travelog with a screen the size of Sarasota Bay, a comfortable chair you could fall asleep in if it weren’t for the dolphins showing off on the water right in front of you! EXCEPT, it’s not a screen, it is your lanai, and you are looking at the MOST incredible view of exotic Florida nature. Because you ARE on the TOP FLOOR, nothing impedes your pleasurable view. The low standing mangroves, the pond, home to the rare and beautiful albino pelicans. A constant moving scene of life and beauty as a door wall to your home. The hurricane impact windows, which can open, have one-way blinds to ensure protection from the sun while not impeding the live travelog. The owner thoughtfully designed the windows so when you are sitting as well as when you are standing, you have a full view of the bay! Your walk through the hurricane impact sliding doors leads you into your great room, a dining and living room combination. The kitchen has a breakfast bar where you can enjoy fresh bread and juice from the local farm markets as you view the awakening of Sarasota Bay! Pinch yourself, this is real! The kitchen has a cathedral ceiling with 2 fans, an in-closet stackable washer and dryer, and a pantry. The new flooring of luxury laminate goes through the home with ceramic tile in both bathrooms and on the lanai. The ceilings have been raised through almost the entire condo. The AC is new as of May 2024. The hot water heater is new in 2019. The primary ensuite which is located bayside has an extra-large tiled shower, a spacious walk-in closet, which closes off with a pocket door. There is access in the closet to an attic with pull-down steps for extra storage. Your guests will be happy to enjoy their own bedroom and preparing for a fun day in the guest bathroom, which also features a large tiled shower. The Mount Vernon amenities are too long to completely list here. See attached. I do have to mention a few though. Boat docks. Boat trailer storage. Kayak storage. Pickleball. Tennis. Shuffleboard. Exercise room. Woodshop. Put-put golf. Shelter house. Fishing. Pool. Sauna. Line dancing….and it goes on and on. The condo fee is $738/month and includes all the afore mentioned and more plus discounted Spectrum TV and WIFI, water, trash and recycle pickup, maintenance of all common grounds and exterior of buildings. Yes, golf carts are allowed! Your new home is off of Cortez Road which takes you west into “Old Florida” and is a direct access into the beautiful and famous Ann Maria Island. Sandy, inviting beaches, restaurants highlighting delicious local seafood, shopping, great local and live music, and golfing. Does any of this interest you? Then, it is time to live your own Florida travelog instead of watching someone else’s! Join the beautiful community of Mount Vernon in Bradenton Florida! SUNSET WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO SEE!
