One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Considered one of the finest community-owned marinas on the west coast of Florida, Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club features a seven-acre, deep-water boat basin that will accommodate kayaks, jet skis, sailboats, powerboats, catamarans and yachts up to 55 feet in length. With a 6-foot depth at mean low tide, the marina can accommodate 175 boats owned by its residents. In Southbay, the HOA fees are only $612 per quarter, and it's so affordable to keep your boat in a slip, that includes water and electric. With Sarasota Bay in the backyard and the marina within walking distance of your front yard, this property is one of only 17 direct waterfront lots in the subdivision. And the property will allow for a new boat dock and lift to be installed. Inside this renovated home you'll find three bedrooms, three full baths, a spacious living and family room, along with a heated pool and spa. Plus, there's a large brick paved sundeck with dramatic views across Little Sarasota Bay and Casey Key. Although the residence has been updated and is move-in ready, you may also consider renovating the home and adding a second floor or building an entirely new home on the half-acre waterfront lot. Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club features a newly renovated clubhouse that overlooks the marina. Inside, there's a 99-person ballroom with catering kitchen and dance floor, community room with kitchen, piano and entertainment area, a fitness room with aerobic and strength training equipment, a card room, library and meeting room. The community also has a geothermal heated pool, a youth pool, covered outdoor patios with furniture, three tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a bocce ball court, two shuffleboard courts, basketball court, kayak storage area, a waterfront park, 20 acres of common ground and three miles of winding paved walking trails. The development is golf-cart friendly and the community hosts weekly, monthly and multiple annual events, plus there's even a Power and Sail Club. You'll love living in this waterfront home and this special community where there's something for everyone.
