SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY DID THE WAITING. YOU GET TO SKIP STRAIGHT TO THE GOOD PART. No build timeline to watch. No list of projects waiting after closing. Just an impeccable Bellmeade in SeaFlower that’s finished, upgraded and ready for you now. Used only as a vacation home, this 1,830-square-foot residence has seen light use and retains that fresh, new-home feel throughout its 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, dedicated study and bright, open living spaces. And this home is anything but builder-basic. Plantation shutters have already been installed throughout, the counter-depth Samsung glass-panel refrigerator adds a sleek statement in the kitchen, and a custom coconut chandelier brings impressive character to the dining area. The same attention to detail carries through the beautifully styled furnishings, nearly all of which are available for purchase separately for a remarkably easy transition. Better still, you’re arriving at SeaFlower just as the community itself begins an exciting new chapter, with residents positioned to be among the first to enjoy the much-anticipated resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, pickleball courts, gathering and event spaces, playground, firepit, parks, dog parks and trails as they open. Future shopping and dining are planned within SeaFlower’s Village Center, with the beaches of Anna Maria Island just minutes away. They did the waiting. You get the keys. Skip the construction line, grab the keys and celebrate the holidays in your new dream home.
