About This Home

DIRECT GULF FRONT. STEPS TO THE BEACH.2 BEDROOM/ 2 BATHROOM. HEATED POOL. HVAC 2025. Welcome to Unit #106—your own slice of paradise with the Gulf of Mexico as your backyard. This direct Gulf-front, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium offers a premier coastal lifestyle. Just steps from the heated community pool and sandy shores, this residence invites you to relax and unwind. Inside, a versatile bonus space near the entry can serve as a den, office, or extra guest accommodations. The split floor plan provides privacy with a guest bedroom located at the front of the unit, complemented by a nearby full bath and a spacious walk-in storage closet. The kitchen features ample cabinet space and a pantry, and flows into the dining and living areas. From the living room and enclosed lanai, enjoy stunning views of the Gulf. The lanai features automated high-end blinds and opens to a beautifully updated paver walkway that leads directly to the pool and beach. The spacious primary suite also boasts Gulf views, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and remote-controlled blinds. The community has no planned special assessments related to hurricane damage, and recent updates include refreshed landscaping and a newly remodeled clubhouse, serving as a social hub for residents. The community has also completed their Reserve and Engineer Studies and is exceptionally well managed. Additional outdoor storage is included. Ideally located just minutes from the historic charm of Downtown Venice—with its iconic West Venice Avenue lined with Mediterranean-style architecture, over 100 unique shops, art galleries, cafes and lively events—and just a short ride to I-75 and award-winning Sarasota Memorial Hospital, this Gulf-front lifestyle you've been waiting for.
