If serenity, security and the simple life are what you're seeking, then this pristinely kept Portobello condo is for you. From the soothing Cranes Bayou views, to the hurricane impact windows and sliders throughout this condo checks all the boxes. Located approximately midway up Longboat Key, FL's almost 11 mile stretch, Portobello is a quiet gulf to bay community. Owners are able to enjoy both the the incredible gulf side private beach access and take advantage of the bayside building heated pool, fishing pier, clubhouse and tennis/pickleball courts. The clubhouse was beautifully renovated in 2020. Other amenities include picnic tables, gas and charcoal grills, kayak launch, bike rack, storage and outdoor shower. This small community is maintained very well, having a full time onsite manager, beloved by all the owners. Did you also notice that Portobello's beach side is pretty large? That's because she has one of the rare seawalls that help to keep her as pristine as she is! Our regular beach renourishment on the island helps with that as well, done about every 6-8yrs on average. This condo has been so lovingly cared, as you'll feel it throughout during your visit. Desirable updates have been done in the kitchen such as the light cabinetry and colors, the carpeting is in excellent condition, as is the entire property. The expansive master suite provides ample room for either a sitting area, desk nook or both! It comes complete with a healthy-sized walk in and owners' closet. Offering almost 1,300sf of living space on a split plan layout, plus pantry and inside stacked washer and dryer closet too. But the lanai is pretty great as well, as it's a nice size to accommodate you and your guests or visiting family and friends too while you get to bird watch or relax. Being offered turnkey furnished as a convenience to the buyer. And there's always so much extra guest parking as well. Centrally located within minutes from renowned Longboat Key Club, Bayfront Park with Paw Park, public kayak and canoe launches, public tennis courts, large playground and restrooms and again walk to the beach! Ugly, cumbersome and heavy hurricane shutters not needed since you have beautiful impact windows and sliders throughout, a fabulous improvement to the unit. You'll enjoy the serenity, views and amenities that this unit and community have to offer!
