Views of water from every window + best location in the community! You won't want to miss this rare opportunity to truly enjoy the laid-back Marco Island lifestyle in this bright, cozy UPDATED and meticulously maintained 2 Bed/1.1 Bath WATER DIRECT END UNIT condo on the second floor in Model Village on one of Marco's natural waterways - just minutes to the Gulf of Mexico by boat! This community is certainly one of Marco Island's best-kept secrets, conveniently located close to many popular restaurants in Marco Island (Snook Inn, Smith House, Cafe de Marco, Leebe Fish, Marek's etc.) and marinas (Dolphin Cove, Rose Marina, etc.) & full of very friendly and helpful owners. This END UNIT condo also has a balcony off the bedroom at the south side for plenty of year-round sunshine and is at the end of the building closest to the waterside community pool! All windows and sliders have been updated with impact glass. NEW BLACK STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES - refrigerator, cooktop/oven, and microwave. The A/C is 3 years old, & the water heater is just 2 years old. Recent building maintenance and improvements include a NEW SEAWALL, ROOFING, PLUMBING, and an ELEVATOR UPGRADE. All buildings were freshly painted about 3 years ago. At just $398/month, the monthly maintenance fees are very REASONABLE and include Cable TV, Internet/Wifi, Management, Pest Control, all Recreation Facilities (pool, poolhouse, barbecue grill), Sewer, Trash, Water, and an assigned parking spot. There are two common docks available for owners' use. The remainder of the docks are owned by other condo owners and ownership may be sold but must remain with a community owner. With a minimum rental period of just 1 day (a little-known fact), this would also be a great investment.
