3220 SOUTHSHORE Drive, Apt 23C $349,000

Don't overlook this light and bright 3rd floor unit with expansive views – including a peak at Charlotte Harbor! Behind a separate gated entry, Southshore is a community with loads of greenspace, private access to the point of the Marina channel and a beautiful Clubhouse and pool. This is the only off-water building in the complex but it’s the closest to the pool and offers serene park-like views. This tastefully appointed top floor 2 bed 2 bath unit includes a deeded private garage right next to the elevator! An inviting entrance leads you to a custom front door with inset blinds. Inside, this clean and contemporary Turnkey Furnished home has everything you need to spend winters out of the cold! None of the other units have this beautiful kitchen configuration that features an open wall with pocket doors you can close when desired. Gorgeous European-styled hardwood cabinets line the spacious U-shaped design, along with stainless appliances, recessed lights, under cabinet lights, solid surface counters and distinctive bamboo flooring. Around the corner is a huge walk-in pantry with metal shelves ready for your Costco run! You’ll have plenty of storage and lots of prep space for entertaining! The kitchen overlooks a large open dining and living area with side windows for extra natural light. Beyond is the 500sf lanai where you’ll likely spend most of your time. A relaxing tropical view is all around you and if you look in the distance you’ll even see the Harbor! An inside hallway separates the huge primary suite at one end and spacious guest bedroom at the other. The primary bedroom features large sliders directly out to the lanai and lots of light from a side window. The ensuite bath has two updated vanities, a shower with new glass doors, a wall of custom mirrors and an enviable walk-in closet. The guest bedroom has a Murphy bed behind side-opening shelves so it’s ready for guests or your home office when they’re not here. The adjoining walk-in closet is almost the size of another room! Newer washer and dryer with upper cabinets are tucked behind hall doors. Outside, you’ll be just steps to the heated community pool and a short walk to CassCay restaurant. Plan your next winter away from the cold in this active, friendly community where there’s always something to do and new friends to make!
