This Charming and Luxurious condo residence is located in Harbour Isle, a gated waterfront community with spectacular views of the surrounding waterways and islands of the Anna Maria Sound! Be prepared to dip your toes in the beautiful sugar sand beaches of Anna Maria Island...just 2 miles away! On the other side of the community is Perico Preserve, an area considered by the Manatee County Audubon Society as a birding "hotspot" with over 189 species of birds, including Bald Eagles, Black Bellied Whistling Ducks, Great Horned Owls, Wood Storks, Magnificent Frigatebirds, and Pterodactyls (ok ok...maybe not this last one). So, when you see a pair of binoculars in the rear facing sunroom that overlooks Perico Preserve, you will understand why...this bird paradise is literally right in your backyard! Designed on an open floorplan with an abundance of natural light, this supremely maintained LEED Certified home with impact rated windows embodies modern living at its finest. As you step inside, you will be welcomed by a fabulous great room that seamlessly flows into the kitchen, dining room, and an extraordinary sunroom. The sunroom features six large decoratively encased windows that practically run from ceiling to floor...a truly warm and inviting ambience for all occassions (especially for that first cup of coffee in the morning!). The voluminous feel and grandeur of the great room is accentuated by an arched ceiling with decorative inset wood beams and a dual rotational ceiling fan system. Gorgeous wood plank porcelain flooring and crown molding extend through the main areas of the home too. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, high-end 42 inch cabinetry, and backsplash. The Owner's Retreat is designed for comfort and relaxation and features three large windows that provide natural illumination, a massive closet with built in shelving, and an en-suite bath with dual vanities and walk in shower. The guest bedrooms are comfortable and cozy all at once, and one bedroom even features its own private en-suite bath with high quality finishes. The PRIVATE ELEVATOR makes life easy and convenient, and the superb garage area sports overhead racks and a terrific extra storage room. Harbour Isle, which is nestled between the Anna Maria Sound and Perico Preserve, is a premier waterfront community that offers a luxurious, resort-style living experience in one of Florida's most beautiful locations. Harbour Isle is home to a stunning array of fabulous amenities, including a 23,000-square-foot Beach Club that features a heated resort style pool that OVERLOOKS THE ANNA MARIA SOUND, a 4200 square foot fitness center, yoga studio, and a grand social room. As you weave and wind through the miles of walking and biking trails in the community, you will come across kayak launches, outdoor fire pits, and a BBQ area. The Safe Harbour Marina, which is located just outside of the gated entry, is a full service marina with state of the art facilities and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville-inspired Floridays Restaurant, with its laid back tropical vibes, offers a variety of dishes inspired by the flavors of Florida and the Caribbean. Nearby Robinson Preserve, a 600 acre park with lush mangrove forests and a variety of wildlife, offers a variety of recreational activities, including birdwatching, hiking, biking, and kayaking too!
