Only a block to Sarasota Bay! What a fabulous location to enjoy the vibrant colors of the sunset, mirror off the water just steps from this Turnkey Furnished Jacobson Home. Paradise Bay is a highly desirable 55+ community with 3 entrances off of Cortez Rd to make access a breeze. It is conveniently located just a mere 2 miles to the soft sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island. A fun community with plenty to do including the pickle ball courts next to the club house or a swim in the community pool. Go for a stroll or a Golf Cart tour to enjoy the neighborhood or rent a boat slip to dock your vessel for some fun on the bay. This home is elevated 5 feet and being custom, the current owner designed various areas throughout the interior and exterior of the home to make sure everything is tucked away & stored properly. Your new home appears larger than the already 2,391 sq ft under roof due to the open concept and not one but two lanais off of the side from the dining area being open air with composite flooring...maintenance free! Or the front enclosed lanai measuring 17.4 x 11.5 with sliding windows to enjoy the breeze. Beautiful accordion privacy window treatments compliment the room to block out the sun when necessary. Enter the home from this lanai from either staircase being greeted by a frosted glass entry door welcoming you into the adorable foyer. From there take notice of the open concept living room, dining area and kitchen with a large peninsular which can easily accommodate 3-4 barstools. Next, you'll notice the amount of counter space for food prep for all those guests that will be stopping by. Plus, an abundance of wood cabinets and separate pantry to compliment this spectacular kitchen. In addition, the walk in laurndry is conveniently located right off the kitchen and there's no shortage of natural light coming into this room either. As you head down the hall, you will first arrive at the hall bathroom adjacent to the guest bedroom. On the opposite side of the hall, you will find a generous size office/craft room/ exercise/flex room measuring 11.8 x 9.0. Further down to the end of the hall is your primary suite, with ample closet space and large bathroom with an extension of the vanity for a size appropriate makeup area to sit and relax as you're preparing for a night out or enjoying your morning coffee as you're leisurely getting ready to start your day. You should also take notice of the beautiful crown molding throughout. The carport area also includes a large storage room and a staircase up to your open-air lanai. This large corner lot offers plenty of natural light all the way around, beautiful pavers for an extra parking pad off to the side of your home and plenty of space for 2 cars under the carport on the opposite side of the home. The curb appeal is one of the nicest, with polished concrete and a beautiful sketch of a Manatee embossed into the design. Strolling around this home, the large planters add some colorful accents to brighten everything up. Paradise Bay is conveniently located near multiple airports, major freeways, sports, golf courses, parks and recreation and most certainly some fabulous shopping and restaurants.
