One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The largest floorplan in the 55+ community of Cortez Villas can be yours! With almost 1300 square feet, this unit is the definition of move-in ready. Delight in this exquisite open layout with 2 bedrooms plus optional third bedroom/den. This villa is adorned with a $30,000 kitchen remodel that was finished in 2017. This is not your average condominium kitchen, but instead, a spacious entertaining room featuring gorgeous 42" wood cabinetry, soft close drawers, stainless steel appliances, eat-in kitchen space and under cabinet lighting. Newer Trane HVAC (Dec 2021), new hurricane impact windows (June 2023) and brand new roof (Feb 2024 and already paid in full) offers both energy efficiency and peace of mind. The potential third bedroom/den includes custom built-ins and murphy bed along with a fold down desk extension perfect for those in need of a versatile office space. Another bonus is that there is no carpet anywhere in this unit which makes for easy cleaning and you'll love the additional convenience of a full size washer and dryer. Located off the living room, you'll find the enclosed lanai with new plank tile flooring that overlooks fresh landscaping/backyard area. This unit has ample storage space on the interior, plus an additional storage closet outside off the lanai. It's also important to add that the AMPLE parking/driveway easily accommodates two vehicles. Cortez Villas is just 6 miles from the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island and conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, IMG academy and downtown Bradenton/Riverwalk.
