This lovely 2-bedroom second floor unit is just the oasis you're looking for! Tucked into the trees next to the lake,bask on your east-facing lanai,surrounded with lush foliage,birdsongs,and the soothing sound of the fountain. The lanai has exterior... sliders to close off the weather (on the few days a year that's needed),without losing the space. Inside,the unit has vaulted ceilings and skylights,and,as an end unit,additional windows to keep it comfortably bright all day. A bonus screened porch on the front of the unit provides additional living and storage space,with direct access from the kitchen and the guest bedroom. The large eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances,plenty of cabinets and a pantry,pull-out shelves,and a built-in desk. The primary bedroom has ample room for a king-size bed,access directly to the lanai,and a view of the lake; the primary bath features dual sinks,a walk-in shower,and large walk-in closet. An indoor storage room is adjacent to the in-unit laundry,with enough space to function as a small office,if desired. The unit also features tile and vinyl flooring,new blinds (2023) throughout,and updated appliances and systems. A detached,one-car garage with attic storage is right out front. Sandy Pines is located in the heart of Bay Forest,with easy access to the lakeside pool and just a short walk to the clubhouse. A fitness center,library,and enviable pickleball,tennis,and bocce courts are just some of the community-wide amenities. Bay Forest's beautiful grounds include 2+ miles of paved trails and a fabulous boardwalk through a preserve to the back bay,complete with tiki hut and paddle-sport launch. Fish from the pier,birdwatch,kayak through the mangroves,or just take in the wonder of the sunsets and passing dolphins,all without leaving your neighborhood. This friendly community is close to Barefoot and Delnor-Wiggins beaches,and convenient to North Naples and Bonita Springs shopping and restaurants--a secluded spot in the middle of it all! Read More
