Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1989 (35 years old), the property has undergone significant cosmetic renovations within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features updated stone countertops, a modern tile backsplash, and stainless/black appliances. Bathrooms have been partially refreshed with newer vanities and fixtures. The interior is well-maintained, functional, and move-in ready, though some original elements like the entry tile and shower surrounds remain.
As a desirable end-unit, the property offers stunning, ever-changing Bay views and direct access to the Bay Trail and scenic lagoon system, providing a rare coastal living experience.
The split-level floor plan features two spacious primary suites on separate levels, offering exceptional privacy and versatility for multi-generational living or guest accommodations.
Residents benefit from premium HOA amenities including a swimming pool, hot tub overlooking the lagoon, private beach access, and extensive walking paths.
The $750 monthly association fee is relatively high, which may impact buyer affordability and overall debt-to-income ratios for prospective homeowners.
With 38 days on the market and a recent price reduction from the original list price, the property is showing signs of slower absorption compared to faster-moving local inventory.
