Property Description

(Make sure to view the Matterport 3-D Virtual Tour & Floorplan and Video.) The Bay Island Group is a gated 55+ waterfront condo community with 24-hr security in South Pasadena on the shores of Boca Ciega Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is one of the largest waterfront condominium communities to grace our area. Spread over a vast and varied campus, the buildings range from mid to low-rise individual HOA's, that enjoy top-notch and bountiful amenities and yet VERY AFFORDABLE HOA Fees. Indeed, the monthly dues are only $433.26 for this elegant 1/1! We will chat more about amenities. Let's first talk about this fab condominium: The only thing more spectacular than the tasteful remodel of this stunning 1 bedroom 6th floor condo is its SPECTACULAR view! From the moment you enter the door, your eyes zero in on the view. What a phenomenal and interesting world there is in these expansive vistas of a serene bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and the land masses from South Pasadena over to Causeway Isles and Yacht Club Estates. In the evening, the lights of these communities twinkle and shimmer off of the surface of the water, like marine stars! In the day, there is a delightful parade of boats and frolicking dolphin that are always fun to spot! Inside there is a fully and beautifully remodeled home of 855 air-conditioned square feet. From the moment you enter, you will sense the quality. The spacious kitchen/living/dining areas flow seamlessly into one large living area. The herringbone pattern tile plank flooring is both classy AND practical, happily extending throughout. The abundant white, solid wood cabinets, make the most of the large kitchen space, providing storage galore and tons of beautiful granite countertop. There is plenty of open space in the kitchen to accommodate an eat-in scenario. The brand-new white appliances are sleek and easy to keep clean, (unlike most of their stainless-steel counterparts that love fingerprints!) On the living room side of the kitchen peninsula is a convenient wine/beverage fridge. Happy Hour at 606! The bathroom has been remodeled to the same high standard, with comfort-height water closet, spacious vanity with framed matching mirror, and a walk-in shower with glass shower surround. Just outside the bathroom is your laundry center/closet with a new full-size stackable washer and dryer. A spacious bedroom completes the interior space. Community amenities at Bay Islands are legendary, as already noted. The main pool, (there are six pools in total), is just a short stroll from your front door, as are the four tennis courts, some of which are pickle ball ready! Other happy opportunities to explore include: the clubhouse with both male and female gyms, each with a sauna; billiards; ping-pong; card room; library; and community room, where popular and lively monthly parties are held. There is also a large waterfront BBQ & Tiki Hut picnic area, shuffleboard courts and a 1.5 mile walking path & marina. Indeed, there are a great number of options for an active lifestyle in this well-appointed, centrally located over 55 community. The condo was purchased in 2019 and remodeled by the current owner to a very high standard as her next home. However, circumstances have changed. Hopefully, the next homeowners will appreciate her attention to detail and no 'expense spared gusto' with which the home was treated!
