Amazing Water Views! 2/2 Condo Near Clearwater Beach!

(Your First Mortgage)

Panoramic water views lend the rich, coastal experience to this stunning home in Horizon House on Island Estates. Within a five-block radius of this sought-after enclave, enjoy biking and running trails, a selection of retail and restaurants (including the famed Island Way Grill!) and the recently expanded Clearwater Marine Aquarium. You’ll live minutes from Clearwater Beach and Imagine Clearwater, the NEW 24-acre waterfront park/plaza with covered amphitheater, opening this summer. Unlike many of the building’s units that expanded the kitchen into the great room, the originally designed kitchen footprint is intact, leaving more usable living space to create an additional sitting area, add shelving to display art and photos, define a dining room, or entertain guests. This kitchen was significantly UPDATED in 2020. First, the exterior of the existing custom cabinetry was refurbished. Featuring three bi-level turntables; niche drawers to stow items like aluminum foil and candlesticks; a floor-to-ceiling pantry; and built-in broom closet, square footage is deftly maximized. Everything else was installed BRAND NEW. A hand-painted, fire glazed tile backsplash was built atop gleaming sparkle quartz countertops. In addition to the NEW deep corner stainless sink, garbage disposal, faucet, and contemporary cabinet pulls, this inviting kitchen was treated to four NEW GE Profile appliances, dressed in shining slate. There are NEW fixtures in both baths with a shower room in the master and jetted tub in the guest bath. 18×18 inch ceramic tiles flow throughout. The entire interior was painted in 2019. While the previous owner had sleek sliders mounted along the full wall in the living room, BRAND NEW balancers and slides are being installed on the double-hung windows. All will be professionally cleaned when this work is complete. Both bedrooms boast California Closet-style shelving to accommodate everything from clothes to supplies. There’s even a private storage closet down the hall that can house your seasonal décor and tools; conveniently located steps from the laundry room’s complimentary washer and dryer. Horizon House is not only impeccably maintained by its full-time, onsite property manager and staff in association with a selection of curated contractors, but the monthly fees also include basic cable, lobby Wi-Fi, electric, water, sewer, trash, and building maintenance. The dedicated board of directors have initiated some tremendous cost savings and improvements to benefit the shareholders’ investment including energy efficient boilers, upgraded A/C and elevators, BRAND NEW fitness center, NEW entry security, and NEW Miami Dade spec windows on the lobby level, to name a few. This co-op building’s fully funded reserves also make for a sound financial structure. From boat slips to bike storage, a glistening geo-thermal heated pool, and unparalleled vistas, 31 Island Way, originally constructed as a hurricane shelter, is now a lovely place to live the Florida Lifestyle.
