Welcome to this beautifully maintained, luxury waterfront condo in exclusive Serena Bay, a boutique condominium community of just sixteen residences divided between two independent buildings. The units, which rarely come to market, offer a level of luxury and craftsmanship that is simply unmatched at this price point. With breathtaking wide-open water views of the serene bay from nearly every room, the origin of the name is easy to decipher. The location is exceptional! In less than 10 minutes, you can walk from here to the beautiful sand of Treasure Island Beach and its host of great dining, entertainment, shopping, and watersport options! And yet, from within this fabulous condominium home, the hustle and bustle of a great beach community feels miles away! The property features all impact-resistant windows and sliders, as well as storm shutters for the expansive 40' x 10' western-facing balcony, ensuring quick and easy protection when you travel or ‘batten down the hatches.’ Indeed, in recent storms, no Serena Bay homes experienced water damage. From the moment the elevator opens into the impressive private foyer with 8’ solid-core double doors and 10’-foot ceilings adorned with crown molding; you will appreciate the sense of scale and the attention to detail. Step within where the expansive water view will immediately draw your attention. The water will call to you! Step onto the 40’ X 10’ balcony, spanning both the main living area and the primary suite. Enjoy the incredible views that await! When you are ready, come back and concentrate on the other merits of this handsome home! With high-end finishes throughout, every detail has been carefully constructed to provide form, function and lasting style. The custom chef’s kitchen with multiple workstations is as practical as it is beautiful. The primary bedroom with spa-like bathroom suite is expansive, even more so when the sliders are open and the space expands further onto that fabulous waterfront balcony. Both ensuite guest bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home, affording privacy to Owners and guests alike. In addition to having a private bathroom and balconies, they are adjacent to a versatile room that could easily serve as an office, library or fourth bedroom. From elegant travertine to rich wood flooring and graceful arches with illuminated niches, there is an unmistakable air of timeless elegance to this home. Meticulously maintained, the home has been upgraded with state-of-the-art systems, including a whole-unit water detection system with automatic shutoff. Indeed, all units at Serena Bay enjoy this worry-free feature. In addition, there is a consumption-based whole-unit water softener; brand new water heater (2024); and remote-controlled hurricane shutters with manual override. Completing this remarkable residence is a private under-building two-car garage with elevated storage racks, a truly rare luxury in condominium living!
