If you're in search of a home within a highly desirable community, Bay Vista should be at the top of your list. This deed-restricted neighborhood is perfectly situated near an array of amenities and is adjacent to the tranquil Lemon Bay Park, which offers 210 acres of scenic shoreline and walking trails. Adding to its appeal is the remarkably low annual HOA fee of just $60. Bay Vista's location is unbeatable-only six miles from the stunning Manasota and Englewood beaches-and it's a short distance to downtown Dearborn Street, a lively hub featuring shops, restaurants, entertainment, a weekly farmers market in season, and community events at Pioneer Park and Indian Mound. This delightful two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence includes a versatile bonus room currently serving as an office, with the potential to convert into a third bedroom. The property has a heated pool, a newer roof, a newly installed pool cage and heater, a new pool cover, a new hot water tank, and hurricane windows paired with a hurricane-rated garage door for added security. Being positioned in an X flood zone offers further peace of mind during inclement weather. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with elegant tile flooring throughout the main living area and a spacious great room. The kitchen stands out with its open layout, featuring a central island with abundant storage, a generous eat-at counter with stools, and a raised breakfast bar. Custom additions such as a built-in China cabinet/double pantry and a dry bar/coffee station elevate the functionality and charm of this space. The dining area is flooded with natural light, offering lovely views of the pool and the expansive yard. A split floor plan ensures privacy for the bedrooms, making it an excellent choice for families or guests. The primary bedroom is a haven of comfort, complete with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom adorned with granite countertops, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and stylish designer tiles.
