Today is your lucky day! This beautiful, well-maintained, clean and spacious 2/2 condo in the popular 55+ Cortez Villas can be yours. If you're unfamiliar, this close-knit active community is located close (6.5 miles) to Anna Maria island with sugar sand beaches and breathtaking sunsets. You will also be within walking distance to pharmacy, grocery and restaurants, and a quick drive to many churches, stores, medical offices and Blake Hospital. The condo itself has much to offer, such as German-made plank flooring and tile throughout (no carpet), crown moldings, granite kitchen countertops and soft-close doors, plus the master bedroom walk-in custom shower with a fold-down seat. This particular split floor plan layout has so much storage space; large walk-in master closet, hallway closets, and a walk-in pantry in the galley-style kitchen. Many upgrades include recessed lighting with LED bulbs, hurricane impact windows, ring doorbell and keyless entry system for peace of mind. The owner planted Bismarck (silver palms) for your enjoyment, and you will really like having screened windows on the back lanai as well as a covered front porch to sit and wave at the best neighbors in the area. Two parking spots right outside the front door and a short jaunt to the clubhouse and pool. The association dues are low and afford you maintenance-free living along with so much to offer…basic cable, internet, water, trash and exterior/lawn maintenance included. Join a card club, exercise class, play billiards or shuffleboard, or cozy up in the library. There are many activities and events held in the clubhouse and huge heated pool area. Your small pet is welcome! You really need to see this one; showing by appointment only.
