What a wonderful opportunity for someone to own a ground floor condo only steps to a private beach only for Whispering Sands owners and their guests, and the beautiful sparkling blue Gulf waters. This 2 bedroom/2 bath condo has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 27 years. They were pleasantly surprised that the condo did not have any water or sand inside after the storms, but only some water on the lanai. There are tile floors throughout. No popcorn ceilings. Both bathrooms have been updated with quartz counters and new cabinets with soft closing drawers. The kitchen has Corian counters, a mixture of newer and older appliances, and a built-in desk area. The exterior Hurricane rated sliding glass doors have been removed because of the concrete restoration project which is ongoing. There are hurricane shutters for the interior sliding glass doors. The exterior sliders will be re-installed in April of 2025. The condo is very livable as it's now, but if a new owner wanted to open up and remodel the kitchen, this would be the perfect time to do it. The condo comes with a carport, and an additional storage closet close by for storing beach items. Whispering Sands has two heated pools, a Tower Lounge and Clubhouse, fitness center, grills, canoe/kayak storage racks. It is within walking or biking distance to Siesta Village, where you will find shops, restaurants, Morton's Market. Downtown Sarasota is about a 15-minute drive, and you can enjoy even more restaurants, shops, the Opera House, Florida Studio Theater, and McCurdy's Comedy Club. This condo is directly on the beach, waiting for a new owner to make memories and to enjoy Gulf breezes and sunsets like this family has for years.
