Welcome to Spring Lakes, a well-kept condo community just off Cortez Road West and about 15 minutes from the beaches of Cortez and Anna Maria Island. This second-floor 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo offers easy, low-maintenance living with views of the community pool and spa. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bath, so guests, family or a roommate get full privacy. The primary suite adds a walk-in closet and sliders that open onto the screened lanai. Large sliding glass doors also connect the oversized great room to the lanai, which makes it a natural spot for morning coffee. The spacious kitchen has tile flooring, plenty of cabinetry, and a washer and dryer in the kitchen itself, so you never need a shared laundry room. The AC, water heater, dishwasher and disposal have all been updated, which means lower upkeep and fewer surprises for the next owner. There's also a large storage closet on the lanai, generous storage throughout and an assigned parking space. Residents enjoy a pool, spa and tennis courts. Shopping and dining are minutes away along Cortez Road. Downtown Sarasota is about 30 minutes away and SRQ Airport about 17. This condo would suit a seasonal home, a first home or a simple investment. Schedule a private showing to see it in person.
