Imagine waking up in your three-story condo on Manasota Key, where every day begins with the sparkle of Lemon Bay and the rhythm of Gulf breezes drifting through the palms. Life here is all about moments—morning walks on the beach just steps from your front door, afternoons spent kayaking along mangrove trails or watching dolphins play in the bay, and evenings unwinding as the sky turns brilliant shades of orange and pink over the Gulf. You may even find yourself joining neighbors for sunrise yoga on the sand, a peaceful way to start the day surrounded by nature. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a versatile loft flex space blends comfort with the laid-back elegance of island living. The open living area is bathed in natural light from hurricane-impact windows and sliders, framing serene water views. The kitchen shines with sleek stainless steel appliances (new in 2023), perfectly suited for everything from quick snacks after the beach to dinners prepared with the day’s fresh catch. Both bedrooms extend onto private balconies—ideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the salt air. Upstairs, the loft offers endless flexibility: a reading nook, an art studio, a quiet lounge, or a guest retreat—all enhanced by wide windows that keep the water in view. Clever storage nooks add practicality, while recent updates like a brand-new roof (2023), a new HVAC system, and a new electric water heater ensure comfort and confidence. The outdoor amenities complete the experience. A deeded boat slip gives you direct access to Lemon Bay, whether you’re setting off for an evening cruise, exploring hidden inlets, or spotting manatees on a calm morning. Afterward, slip into the community pool—heated and chilled with a brand-new pump (2024)for a refreshing swim year-round. The two-car tandem garage offers space for vehicles, kayaks, or bikes, giving you everything you need for an active coastal lifestyle. Living on Manasota Key means more than owning a home, it’s about embracing the rhythm of island life. From strolling to local restaurants serving the freshest seafood, to watching rocket launches streak across the horizon from your balcony, to beach yoga at sunrise, every day here is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor Florida’s natural beauty. This condo brings together the best of convenience, comfort, and coastal charm. Don’t miss your chance to make the Manasota Key lifestyle your own—contact me soon to schedule your private viewing.
