Under contract-accepting backup offers. Whether you're looking for a cozy snowbird retreat or a full-time residence—this is the one! Located in the 55+ community of Fourth Bayshore Gardens Condominiums with maintenance provided and amenities galore, this second-floor one-bedroom condo comes with an updated kitchen with real wood cabinetry and a sleek tile backsplash. Best of all, the neutral tile floors throughout would go perfectly with any décor. If you're looking for a ‘community,’ look no further. With a full calendar of social clubs, activities, and potluck dinners, you can be fast friends with your neighbors in no time. This unit is situated perfectly within the community. The clubhouse, shuffleboard courts, bocce courts, heated pool, grill areas, laundry facilities, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard (perfect for morning walks) are mere steps away but without all the hustle and bustle in your backyard. Instead, the rear balcony overlooks green space, creating a beautiful and serene private setting. As they say, location, location, location, and this location can't be beat. Bradenton Beach and its sugary sand is only 15 minutes away, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is only 10 minutes away, and every imaginable shopping and dining destination is usually right around the corner…some even within walking distance (including a Target, Publix, and library). With that, and having multiple bus stops right outside the community means ‘no car’ is ‘no problem.’ However, each unit comes with nearby assigned parking, and there’s plenty of guest parking. For owner convenience, there are also elevators (recently renovated) and secure exterior storage closets for beach gear, bikes, etc. Storage is also no problem thanks to dual closets in the bedroom (including a 6ft long bar AND 3'x2' shelves), a 3'x2' closet in the hall, and another 3'x2' storage closet right outside your front door. (Furnishings shown can be included in the sale or removed prior to closing)
