Location, location, location with water views. The Strand of Sarasota on Whitacre Bayou built in 2022 has two buildings with 147 units. Our building 1709 has 108 units in it, four floors, with 27 units per floor, and faces the water and all units have direct bayou water views. This complex has its own marina with 42 slips. This unit does NOT have a boat slip. There is a community clubhouse (1705) with a fitness center, grilling area, firepit, swimming pool, dog park, kayak and canoe storage and launch to access the Bayou. There is also an on-site manager. This fourth floor unit is a one-bedroom, with one and one-half bathrooms with 896 square feet of living space and the largest open, but covered 119 square foot balcony. One can see the Bay from the balcony and all the living area has a bayou water view. This unit is being sold turnkey-furnished, and has quartz countertops and tile flooring throughout. The primary bedroom is carpet and faces the front of the building. The primary bathroom has a single-sink and only the upgraded, larger shower stall. This unit has a deeded and assigned under building parking space #4 (10 x 17) and a deeded under building 3 x 6 storage cage, just to the left of the parking space. There is more than enough guest and second-car parking all over the complex. Unit A408 is the second unit from the left on that floor of the eight other units (401 to 409). This complex rental restrictions are a seven-day minimum 52 weeks a year, if desired. Two pets, dog or cat are allowed with no weight limit. The monthly maintenance fees are less than $500 and this seller has paid the first half of the only assessment due, with the balance of $1,780 due 08/01 for the 2025 calendar year. This unit's monthly utility costs average $65 for water, sewer, trash and recycle and $50 for electricity. All the appliances and the HVAC system are only two years new. This is a must-see for a individual, or couple who want to be on the water close to Downtown Sarasota. I
