Downtown Sarasota: luxury living with a friendly, scenic atmosphere on the Bayou! This beautifully updated one-bedroom, one bathroom, condominium beams with natural light and is situated on the community's pond and fountain with unobstructed views. At the front, the lanai overlooks the fountain, welcoming you to read, write and sip wine with friends. The entryway invites you to a fresh, stylish, open living space, expanded by the diagonally-laid tile. Inside you will notice the details in craftmanship: crown molding, baseboards, and chair rails throughout the living room, kitchen, and continuing into the hallway. Adjoining the living room is the kitchen with a redesigned quartz countertop allowing you to enjoy casual meals at the new counter (with generous knee-room!) or dine under the chandelier in the kitchen, with a mirrored slider doubling the size of the room and a huge mirror bringing light and color to cheer your spirits. The hall leads to an updated bathroom, with another room-doubling mirror and new cabinets. Across the hall is the bedroom with its walk-in closet, baseboards, crown molding, and room-width windows displaying views of the pond. From a practical perspective: the water heater and air conditioner are new, relieving you from anxiety, and the owners are offering $1,000 toward a new refrigerator should you want one. Central Park II has low homeowners' association fees that include cable tv, maintenance of grounds and facilities, a heated pool, hot tub, tennis & pickleball court, gym, library, clubhouse, bike, and kayak storage, and a community dock on the Hudson Bayou.
