About This Property
JUST REDUCED $30,000 The moment you step inside this exceptional second-floor end unit, you’ll feel as though you are living right on top of the water. Offering stunning panoramic views of Sarasota Bay, added privacy, and exceptional tranquility, this beautifully renovated bayfront residence is one of Runaway Bay’s most desirable and rarely available locations. Runaway Bay has only four second-floor bayfront end units and just 16 second-floor bayfront units total, making this an extremely limited opportunity expected to sell quickly. This two-bedroom, two-bath condo features unobstructed bay views, breathtaking sunrises, a private balcony, an A/C system replaced in January 2021, and a new hot water tank installed in 2023. Enjoy daily swims in the Gulf of Mexico with designated private beach access leading to six miles of powdery sand beaches. Community amenities include a heated saltwater pool, fitness room with sauna, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, clubhouse, grilling area, fishing pier, and kayak launch. The Anna Maria Island Trolley stops right outside the complex, offering easy access to dining, shopping, miniature golf, live music, and the Historic Bridge Street area. Currently used as the owner’s private residence, this stunning bayfront condo offers the perfect combination of privacy, water views, and Anna Maria Island living.
