The story
- Waterfront
Waterfront resort-style living is behind the gates of Hidden Bay, set along the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway, Little Sarasota Bay, and a tranquil preserve and park in the heart of Osprey. This third-floor residence, accessible by elevator, has been tastefully remodeled and offers two full bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, a spacious den and a three-car garage. The lanai’s exterior sliders open to an all-season, tiled living area where you can enjoy birdwatching and wildlife in the mangroves, observe passing boats, feel gentle bay breezes and take in spectacular sunsets. The wonderfully efficient kitchen features Corian countertops, a breakfast bar with seating for four, new (2025) LG stainless steel appliances and abundant pantry storage within newly outfitted cabinetry, complete with pullout drawers in the kitchen and baths. This beautifully appointed home showcases Acacia engineered flooring, high ceilings, a generous laundry room with newer GE appliances, a sink, tile flooring and ample storage, plus a den or office off the breakfast area. This condominium features a rare three-car garage which includes a private single garage, allowing this space to be used as art studio workshop, or the ever-elusive onsite storage unit along with a separate and spacious two-car garage on the first level. A new roof and updated elevator motor were added in 2025, along with completed Milestone and Reserve studies. Many of the attractive furnishings are available under a separate bill of sale. This exceptional gated waterfront community features a 1,500-foot elevated wooden boardwalk winding through lush landscaping and palm-lined grounds, leading to a private bay front fishing pier. Residents enjoy a renovated clubhouse offering a full kitchen, with granite bar and graciously appointed social area which can be used for private events. Owners also enjoy a fully stocked library, a professional fitness center, and an entertainment and media area. Outside the clubhouse, there is a heated pool, hot tub and tiki hut for additional social gatherings. Hidden Bay is conveniently near restaurants, shopping, Legacy Trail and Nokomis Beach. Osprey is a lovely area between Sarasota and Venice featuring old Florida vibes, peaceful surroundings, and an easy, quiet, lifestyle. Seller willing to lease back.
