Located in the beautiful setting of Harbour Oaks in the gated community of Bay Isles on south Longboat Key, this ground level 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath villa is the ideal winter retreat or full-time residence. Nestled among the oaks with views of the Sarasota Bay and mangrove lined waterway, this residence is peaceful and serene. The large back deck provides space for entertaining or relaxing as you enjoy the wildlife and bay breezes. Inside the villa, the floorplan is very open and spacious with a newer kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry and an island with a Gaggenau cooktop and a breakfast area. The floorplan has a large great room or family room with dining area, a separate living room with fireplace, and an office. The large ensuite master bedroom has its own Florida room for enjoying morning coffee and looking out to enjoy the wildlife and beautiful landscaping. There are also two guest rooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom. For the orchid lover, there is an enclosed glass area that provides a wonderful environment for plants or outdoor relaxation. A two-car garage and interior laundry room complete this spacious condo. Harbour Oaks is in the process of replacing the roofs, and the A/C in this unit is only a couple of years old. This is a condo so most of your utilities and insurance are included in your quarterly fee. A pet friendly community, Harbour Oaks allows one dog up to 50 lbs. and one cat. The community includes a heated pool, lawn maintenance, 24-hour manned security gates, and membership to the Bay Isles Beach Club. Kayak access is located across the street from the back deck.
