Nestled just a stone's throw from the iconic Siesta Key, this delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa offers you the best of both worlds—the serene island lifestyle with none of the hassle. Picture yourself cycling or strolling across the bridge to Siesta Key in the early morning or evening, soaking in the fresh sea breeze, taking a peaceful walk along the beach, and witnessing stunning sunsets that never get old. Step inside this beautifully updated villa, where comfort and style blend effortlessly. The spacious layout features an inviting Florida room filled with natural light, perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or curling up with a good book. Recent updates include a newer AC (2023), impact windows (2013), luxury vinyl flooring (2022), epoxy flooring in carport (2024) and updated bathrooms—all designed with modern living in mind. Plus, peace of mind comes knowing the home has been fully re-plumbed (2025), and the community has already taken care of major infrastructure projects like replacing and re-lining sewer and drain lines (2018/19). Beyond the villa, your lifestyle expands with amenities like a community pool, clubhouse, and a scenic waterfront park just steps away. Take a seat on the benches overlooking the intracoastal, and you might even catch a glimpse of dolphins, graceful birds, or yet another breathtaking sunset. And here's the best part—this home is move-in ready, with no hurricane damage to worry about, leaving you free to enjoy every moment. The carport and attached laundry/storage room add convenience, making this villa not just a home, but a lifestyle you can embrace. Welcome to your slice of paradise!

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
