9017 Stone Harbour LoopBradenton, FL 34212Sale Price: $278,000

Rarely available 2 bed, 2 bath Villa with a split plan, two lanai porches and a perfect view of the golf course! Your private garage enters onto the front porch lanai which is an extension of the dinette and kitchen. This is an easy place to drop the groceries on your way in but a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee away from others. Through the front door, a tiled foyer entry leads to the “great room” which serves as your large living and dining area. The dining room is adjacent to the Corian topped bar creating some separation from the kitchen, but the sight lines go all the way through this smartly designed home so even the “chef” of the house will remain part of the conversation. The carpeted owner's suite has a private bath, walk in closet and southerly views over the golf course. The second bedroom has a wonderfully functional Murphy bed which allows multiple uses for this space. But you might not need a second office since there is also a central den with pocket doors, perfect for zooming, media or maybe a pull-out couch if you are expecting more company. You just might have visitors because this community offers resort style living with an 18-hole Arthur Hills championship golf course (no mandatory fees), a fishing lake, jogging paths, ball fields, a clubhouse, restaurant, a heated Jr. Olympic pool, 24 hour health club, tennis courts, basketball, sand volleyball, pickleball and cornhole! However, if you prefer something a little quieter…live here and you are just steps away from one of the many satellite pools providing a bit more privacy when needed. 2,500 acres of natural beauty bordering the Manatee River to the north, SR 64 to the south and just minutes east of Interstate 75. Close to the world's most beautiful beaches, downtown Sarasota, UTC Mall, Tampa, St. Petersburg and your choice of airports.
