Welcome to Paradise! This beautiful ground floor waterfront Condo is the largest 2 bed/1 bath Condo available in this 24/7 Security Guard controlled community of Waterside South. It’s Located on Coquina Key Island just 10 minutes south of historic downtown St. Petersburg FL. This Condo is one of the few buildings that have only 8 units (most have 12) nestled on a private cul-de-sac. The condo sits on a canal protected from the elements having no damage from recent hurricanes. Protected from the elements yet still waterfront living. Best of both worlds. The oversized patio is also one of the few in the community that has a northeast exposure with patio shade virtually year-round not to mention the energy savings keeping the sun out of your living space. The gated patio also features a large 32 square foot storage building. Imagine having a cocktail and grilling on your shaded waterfront patio while watching your neighbors across the canal struggle in the hot sun. The rules allow for any grill on the patio (including charcoal) on ground floor units only. We have thoroughly enjoyed the years sitting on our couch with a screened patio door watching the dolphins and manatees come into the canal as well as other wildlife. This Condo is upgraded with beautiful tile flooring in the Living room and Dining Room. The kitchen features updated cabinets, stainless steel appliances, large pantry, deep kitchen sink with garbage disposal, and a laundry closet with a stackable washer dryer. The bathroom features granite countertops, tile flooring, and a contemporary tub/shower. The 2 large bedrooms have generous closet space and new carpeting. You will also enjoy ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom. This community also has many amenities including 2 heated pools, hot tub, volleyball courts, brand new tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, shuffleboard, EV stations, kayak storage availability, and a yacht club featuring a private bar for social gatherings. Also included in the HOA is Cable TV, Internet ,Water, and Flood Insurance. The new roof and paint were completed in 2022. Please schedule a visit and see how this Condo package is superior to the others in the community.
