Under contract-accepting backup offers. This is the Gulf front opportunity buyers wait for. Positioned in the highly sought after A Building at Island Reef, this two bedroom, two bath beach condo offers direct Gulf front views that simply cannot be duplicated, and is currently the lowest priced Gulf front 2/2 property on Siesta Key. Held in the same family for over 30 years, the condo has been meticulously maintained and remains exceptionally clean and comfortable as it sits today. It presents a rare combination of immediate usability and the opportunity to thoughtfully update over time, allowing a new owner to create their own vision in one of the most desirable Gulf front locations on the island. From the moment you walk in, your eye is drawn straight through to the water. The view opens across the pool, the natural flow of the grounds, and out to the Gulf of Mexico, creating a sense of space, calm, and connection that defines true waterfront living. It is the kind of view that makes you pause and take it in. The layout offers a true split floor plan, providing privacy and comfort for both owners and guests. The main living areas are open and relaxed, with Gulf views from the dining area, living room, and primary bedroom. The kitchen is generously sized, with an eat in area and built in desk space that adds flexibility, while natural light fills the space and keeps it bright and inviting. The primary suite is spacious and set apart as its own retreat, complete with an en suite bath and room to unwind. The guest bedroom is positioned on the opposite side, offering separation and privacy. A full size laundry room adds a level of everyday convenience not always found in beach condos. Impact windows are currently being installed on the lanai, adding long term value, peace of mind, and enhancing the indoor outdoor experience that is so central to Gulf front living. Island Reef is known for its true Gulf to Bay lifestyle. Mornings begin with walks along the private beach at Turtle Beach, afternoons are spent kayaking toward Midnight Pass or relaxing by the Gulf side pool, and evenings are centered around sunsets that never repeat themselves. On the bay side, boats pass throughout the day, adding another layer of movement and life to the setting. The community offers bay access with dockage and lift capability, along with direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf beyond. Two heated pools, including the beautifully positioned Gulf side pool, along with tennis, pickleball, and shuffleboard courts create an active yet balanced lifestyle. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, library, fitness rooms, and gathering spaces designed for both connection and relaxation. Additional features include kayak and bike storage, a fishing pier, on site management, and a well run on site rental program offering monthly rental opportunities, providing flexibility for owners who wish to offset expenses. Winding walkways connect the community through mature landscaping and open green space, while brick paver parking areas, covered parking, secure lobby entry, elevator access, and guest parking all add to the ease of ownership.
