One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Experience the quintessential Florida lifestyle in this meticulously maintained residence located in Paradise Bay, a vibrant 55+ "Best Kept Secret" waterfront community. This home shows beautifully and offers the rare privilege of owning one of only four properties in the entire park with a private rooftop deck. From this elevated vantage point, the new owners will enjoy serene bay views and stunning sunsets without the bay front price tag. Paradise Bay is currently undergoing an exciting period of revitalization, making it one of the most desirable locations in the area. The community is seeing the addition of numerous new units, the clubhouse is undergoing a beautiful renovation, and a brand-new dock has just been installed at one of the two boat launches. Residents enjoy a temperature-controlled pool and spa, professional-grade shuffleboard courts, pickleball courts, bocce and a marina with easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway-all just minutes from the pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island. The property itself is in top condition and has been cared for with an incredible eye for detail. Per the seller, only the ground-level lanai received water during recent storms. Following the hurricane, the sellers proactively made significant 2025 improvements to ensure total peace of mind, including a fully updated kitchen with granite countertops, two renovated bathrooms w/granite vanity tops, and brand-new sub-flooring and insulation. The interior has also been refreshed with new carpet and luxury vinyl tile throughout. Please be sure to view the uploaded full list of improvements to see the extensive work done to the framing, plumbing, and mechanicals. Oh and there is a a large storage area to boot! Don't wait-make this unit yours and spend next winter enjoying bay views from your rooftop deck!
