As you enter the front door the first thing you will be greeted with is the fantastic golf course view from this Valencia Gardens condo overlooking the beautiful IMG Golf Course. It is being offered fully turnkey furnished so all you need are your toothbrush, swimsuit and golf clubs to start experiencing the southern tropical lifestyle. This is one of West Bradenton?s premier neighborhoods with stately mature landscaping and frequent afternoon sea breezes from the nearby Sarasota Bay. This 2nd floor home is a corner unit with coveted extra windows providing tons of natural light from the bright Florida sunshine and comes with a dedicated covered parking space. The former rear lanai has been enclosed, providing more living space (includes a sleeper sofa for overflow guests) and its westerly facing orientation renders the pleasure of watching our amazing evening sunsets. There is plenty of storage with an entire wall of closets in the guest bedroom in addition to the walk-in closet. A few recent updates include electric panel, lighted kitchen ceiling fan, Maytag washer and dryer, Florida room screens and attractive rolling window shades.
It is a short walk across the drive to the beautifully landscaped heated community pool and spa which have been tastefully updated with pavers and travertine (check out the pictures) and have chaises and tables to enjoy your resort style amenities. Valencia III is surrounded by the semi-private IMG Golf Course and just north of the lovely Sarasota Bay from which you will enjoy the sea breezes on a regular basis. You are walking, biking or golf cart distance to the IMG Academy Golf & Social Club, restaurant, pro shop and public golf course, which has ?multiple levels of membership designed for any level of golfer.? You may enjoy the restaurant for dining with an incredible Sarasota bayfront water view. If you have students enrolled in the world-famous IMG Academy, they?re about a 4-minute drive to school. This condo is in a prime location being midway between downtowns Bradenton and Sarasota and about 15 minutes to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and between 15 and 30 minutes to practically every event one could need or wish for including, medical facilities, schools and colleges, parks, Riverwalk, shopping, houses of worship, theaters live and big screen, fishing, golfing, boating, museums, entertainment, infamous St Armands Circle and UTC Mall, professional sports venues of all kinds including baseball, boat and car races, rowing & even polo.
We even have our own Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. This section of Valencia has had the roads repaved and roofs were replaced in 2004 with the association hoping to have another 10 to 15 years before replacement. In addition to other items, the maintenance fees cover basic cable, WIFI, trash pickup & flood insurance for the building. There are very few condos that are large pet friendly and have no age restrictions. This home includes all the furnishings that you see, a covered parking space and is just a short jaunt to the heated pool and spa. Pack your bags and head on down. Don?t spend another winter in the snow covered north when you too can enjoy this sought after Florida Lifestyle afforded by our sunny location. Sorry no rentals for the first two years of ownership
