It's late afternoon. You wave to the guard as you steer your car through the gated entrance of Bay Island. You think to yourself, "It's so good to be home! I'm really glad I told my agent to show me this condo." You cruise past the swimming pool and park your car in its own covered parking space, then take the elevator to your personal slice of paradise. You're trying to decide whether to relax on the balcony, walk on the beach, or soak it up in the poolside spa. Oops! You have to walk the dog first. (So glad you found a pet-friendly condo so close to the beach!) This light-filled condo features 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths + den/office/studio & is tucked into a cul-de-sac neighborhood in popular South Pasadena. Thanks to the open layout and diagonal pattern of the 18-inch tiles carried throughout every room, this condo lives much larger than its 1,300 square feet would indicate. You’ll love living and entertaining in this space! Before they thoughtfully remodeled in 2014, the owners fortified this condo with hurricane-rated windows plus electric storm shutters and replaced the HVAC. With the kitchen open to the main living area, you can mix pina coladas without missing any of the fun or the captivating views of the Intracoastal waterway across the one-of-a-kind Cambria Quartz Countertops. Upgrades include Stainless Steel Appliances, Real Wood Soft-Close Cabinets with Slide-Out Shelving, Travertine Backsplash, plus oodles of cooking prep and storage space. PLUS No Popcorn Ceilings! Both bathrooms feature Neutral Wood Soft-Close Cabinets, gorgeous coordinating Cambria Quartz countertops, and custom tile shower inlay. When you can tear yourself away from this top-notch condo, visit the Clubhouse to easily make new friends, learn new things, and enjoy old pastimes at a socially safe distance. For safety’s sake, many of the regular monthly classes, clubs, and activities are on hold, but soon you’ll look forward to craft classes, book clubs, holiday celebrations, game nights, outings, and more. Bay Island has a healthy homeowners' association and a variety of year-round occupants, snowbirds, and visitors. Do NOT wait to see this one! It has everything today’s buyer is looking for, so it will not last at this price.
