It is the best of all possibilities in this coastal cottage-style, 55-plus, two-bedroom condominium in an elevator building, eight miles to the beach for under $125,000. Updated with quality and care, the soothing paint colors reflect the seashore. Bead board, plantation shutters, trim, laminate flooring and sand colored carpet continue the beach theme. The view from the second-floor balcony displays late afternoon light and sunsets over the palms, oleanders and magnolias. New impact windows, a slider, screening on the lanai, bathroom and kitchen sinks, faucets, toilets, Maytag washer/dryer, dishwasher and hot water heater are all features of note. All door knobs and hinges, cupboard and vanity hinges, light switches and plates, light fixtures, ceiling fans, front screen door and handles have been replaced. Country Village hosts a clubhouse with billiards table, community pool, horseshoes and shuffle board. Great location close to all Cortez has to offer, including shopping, restaurants, social clubs and, of course, Anna Maria Island. Great for a lock-and-leave or full-time home. Some furniture negotiable.
