RARE OPPORTUNITY! THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY! A blank palette to create the home that you have always dreamed of awaits. Why spend $30,000 for deconstructing and removal down to the studs of an original Windward Bay Condominium, when the work has already been completed and ready for you? Location, Location, Location! Finished remodeled condos on the same floor have sold in the $800,000 range and the highest Windward Bay interior, 2nd floor condo with reconfigured floor plan, sold at $900,000. Prepare to be enthralled by the mesmerizing beauty of the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay and the sense of “Old Florida Tranquility”. Bask in the serenity of moonlit nights or wake up to breathtaking sunrises from each of your bayfront rooms. Imagine viewing the graceful Manatees from the comfort of your own home! Florida’s gentle giants return each year to live right below your condo's living and florida room windows, which is the #1 reason that the current owners, for over two decades, purchased this second home! Memories the sellers will forever cherish are the cacophony of bird viewings they experienced daily, which includes: a great blue heron and rare yellow crested night heron that live in the mangrove tree to the left of their window, an osprey who will fly very close to the Florida Room to show off his catch, the nearby eagle and owl neighbors that they looked forward to seeing during the week, the dancing dolphins, the continuous jumping of the mullet fish, and their greatest memory of all was indeed the manatees right below. They witnessed the birth of many baby manatees over the years and had the honor of observing a mother manatee leading her baby to its first breath of air. “It is an amazing place to observe the Awesomeness of Nature.” The circumstances for Professional water remediation and deconstruction down to the studs, was not related to hurricane damage. Clean and certified Lab air analysis reports are available upon request. The community of Windward Bay is set like a jewel on the barrier island of Longboat Key. Flourishing on 26 acres that are well-manicured, beautifully landscaped, and graced with half a mile of water-front nature trails.
