An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a turnkey beachfront retreat in one of Venice's most exclusive boutique communities. Currently the only residence available in the intimate Bahia Mar, this beautifully updated first floor end unit condominium places the Gulf of Mexico at your doorstep, step off your private patio onto the beach sand and turquoise waters. Equally rare is the opportunity to enjoy both beachfront living and boating. Owners have the exclusive option to use association-owned boat slips located directly across the street on Roberts Bay, offering effortless access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf. Few properties combine the best of both worlds in such a coveted location. Offered turnkey furnished, this impeccably maintained two-bedroom, two-bath end residence is move-in ready and thoughtfully appointed with crown molding, granite countertops, soft close cabinetry, hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors, plantation shutters, abundant storage, covered parking space and beautifully updated bathrooms. The private patio is perfect for morning coffee with the sound of the waves or unforgettable Gulf sunsets. Bahia Mar is a hidden coastal gem designed for those seeking peace and privacy. With only 21 residences, a no-rental policy, and no pets permitted, the community offers an owner-focused lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find along Florida's Gulf Coast. Just 1.5 miles from historic downtown Venice, you'll enjoy boutique shopping, exceptional dining, cultural events, the weekly farmers market, and all the charm that has made Venice one of Florida's most desirable beach towns. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or an elegant seasonal escape, this is a truly unique opportunity to own one of Venice's most desirable Gulf-front addresses.
