## Description

### Agent Description
Opportunity awaits in one of Siesta Key's most desirable GULF FRONT communities! Perfectly positioned on the 3rd floor of the popular Tropic View building just steps from the sugar white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf, this 2 bedroom/2 bath Whispering Sands residence offers exceptional potential for the buyer with vision.

Ready for renovation and priced accordingly, this property serves as a blank canvas for updates and customization to suit your style.  The spacious floor plan is complemented by a 34' screened and glass enclosed lanai that spans the entire length of the unit, providing additional valuable living space and a comfortable setting in which to relax or entertain year round.  

The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with glassed shower.  Equally spacious, the guest bedroom is large enough to accommodate two queen beds.

Furnishings are negotiable.  

This unit also comes with an assigned storage locker on the same floor for all of your beach essentials.

As one of Siesta Key's most sought after 55+ communities, Whispering Sands is known for its prime beachfront location, offering 800' of PRIVATE beach access, 2 heated pools, new beachside Tiki Hut, charcoal and gas grills, shuffleboard, beachside canoe/kayak storage, onsite management, and an active social atmosphere.  Beach loungers are placed on the beach daily for the exclusive use of owners and their guests. The clubhouse is currently undergoing complete remodeling and will include brand new fitness equipment, a full catering kitchen, large screen TV, and an elegant, comfortable space for social events or private entertaining.

Whispering Sands residents also enjoy a short stroll to Siesta Key Village's charming boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment while still enjoying the tranquility of Gulf front living.  Whether you're seeking a seasonal escape, year round residence, or an opportunity to create a personalized coastal retreat, this property offers the prefect foundation in an exceptional location.
