Beautiful views of Little Sarasota Bay and a peaceful waterfront setting are just the beginning of what makes this updated villa in Heron Bay Club so appealing. Tucked along the shores of Little Sarasota Bay, this intimate waterfront community consists of just 25 single-story villas situated on approximately 10 acres across from the northern end of Casey Key. Surrounded by natural beauty and offering a quiet, private setting, Heron Bay Club captures the charm of Old Florida without sacrificing convenience. The villa enjoys beautiful views of the bay, along with the community pond and its decorative fountain, creating a picturesque backdrop. Interior improvements include updated electrical outlets and switches, a tankless water heater, newer appliances, and an A/C system replaced in 2021. A private courtyard offers additional outdoor living space, while the attached two-car garage is a particularly desirable feature not found in every residence within the community. The spacious attic with high ceilings provides even more storage, a welcome bonus in condominium living. For those who enjoy spending time on the water, Heron Bay Club has plenty to offer. Residents enjoy a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, and a fishing pier. Boating enthusiasts will especially appreciate the availability of boat dockage at no additional fee, providing convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf. Whether boating, fishing, or simply watching the dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds that frequent the area, the waterfront lifestyle is an everyday part of life here. The community's western exposure also provides a beautiful setting to enjoy sunsets over Little Sarasota Bay. Another standout feature of Heron Bay Club is just how much is included in the association fee. In addition to maintaining the beautifully landscaped grounds and community amenities, the fee covers water, high-speed internet, cable television, pest control, building flood insurance, exterior building maintenance and painting, roof maintenance and repairs, trash collection, and more. With so many services and expenses already included, residents can enjoy the benefits of a low-maintenance lifestyle with fewer individual bills and responsibilities. Unlike traditional multistory condominium buildings, Heron Bay Club's single-story villas offer the privacy and convenience of having no elevators or neighbors overhead. The community's small size and private courtyards create a more residential feel than what is typically found in larger waterfront condominium developments. Despite its peaceful setting, Heron Bay Club is conveniently located near beautiful Gulf beaches, shopping, restaurants, and the arts and cultural attractions of Sarasota. With its combination of water views, boating access, extensive association benefits, and intimate community atmosphere, this home offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy Florida's Gulf Coast lifestyle.
