Agent Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Turnkey furnished condo with deeded covered carport in one of Bradenton's most distinctive communities—welcome to effortless Gulf Coast living at Wildewood Springs.

This beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa-style condo offers a rare combination: genuinely move-in-ready condition, a coveted location minutes from Anna Maria Island, and a community setting unlike anything else on the Bradenton–Sarasota corridor. Whether you're seeking a furnished Florida retreat, a snowbird sanctuary, or a proven income-producing investment property near the Gulf beaches, this home delivers.

Wildewood Springs is no ordinary condo community. Designated a Florida Audubon Society Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary, the grounds are a living landscape—mature oak canopies, tropical plantings, winding lakeside paths, and resident wildlife that make every morning feel like a nature preserve. Seven heated pools, multiple spas, tennis, and pickleball round out amenities that feel genuinely resort-caliber, not just on the brochure.

Inside, a full renovation produced a light-filled, open-concept interior that feels fresh without feeling sterile. The designer kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, subway tile backsplash, and shaker cabinetry. Updated flooring, crown molding, and refined finishes carry the quality throughout. Major systems have been addressed: HVAC is under three years old, water heater is brand new. Lightly used as a seasonal residence since renovation—this is true turnkey condition, not aspirational marketing language.

The primary suite opens to a private enclosed lanai wrapped in tropical greenery—a quiet place to start the morning, end the evening, or work remotely without staring at a parking lot. Both bathrooms have been renovated with tiled showers, granite counters, and contemporary fixtures. An oversized storage closet adds the kind of practical space furnished condos rarely offer.

HOA fees include high-speed internet, cable, water, sewer, exterior maintenance, pest control, and nighttime security. Pet-friendly. Professionally managed. Financials are strong. This is the lock-and-leave Florida lifestyle done properly.

Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, Longboat Key, IMG Academy, Downtown Sarasota, and SRQ Airport are all within easy reach. So is everything that makes this stretch of the Gulf Coast worth owning in.
