Welcome to Southbay! One of the most sought-after marina communities in the greater Sarasota area. This lovely home just had a brand NEW ROOF put on it, providing that much needed peace of mind during Florida’s storm season. Its unique split floor plan wraps around the outdoor swimming pool, making it the first thing you see the moment you walk through the double front doors. This design allows for an abundance of natural light throughout the main areas of the home. You will find the dining room and a large living room to each side when entering. The kitchen with granite counter tops and wood cabinetry overlook the family room and fireplace, giving this gathering space a nice cozy feel to it. The master bedroom has full sliders that go directly out onto the pool deck and a spacious master bath with direct access out to the pool as well, making it easy to keep water where it belongs. The additional 2 bedrooms reside on the opposite side of the home, allowing for plenty of privacy, and the large office could also be used as a 4th bedroom if so desired. The expansive lanai serves as a great space for entertaining family and friends. Southbay Yacht and Racquet Club offers resort-style living with several amenities, including its highly desirable 170-slip deep water marina, heated community pool, fitness center, clubhouse, playground, pickleball and tennis courts. All of this is included in your low HOA fees. The community is golf cart friendly and is close to local grocery stores, shopping and great restaurants. It is also near the accredited Pine View School. And of course you’re just minutes away from the beautiful sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There is no better place to truly experience Florida lifestyle at its best.
