“It’s just right”. Welcome to 736 Island Way, Unit 705 on Island Estates in Clearwater. If Goldilocks was meandering down Island Way, looking for a home to rest in, it would be this one…It’s just right. This beauty is located on the 7th floor of this 12 story building and enjoys incredible views of the Intracoastal waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico; if it was a higher level, you would sacrifice the view of the Intracoastal, if it was lower, you couldn’t see the Gulf…it’s just right. Goldilocks would also choose this incredible building…condo living is all about having confidence in the representatives that manage the finances, repairs, and amenities of the building. This building has been responsibly managed for decades. Their financial reserves are in order, they invest the proper amount of time, energy, and money in building maintenance, and upgrades; while not frivolously spending money on unnecessary extravagances. Goldilocks would appreciate the balance and select this building…it’s just right. The same could be said for the way this unit has been tastefully renovated and updated, including a fitness center, library, and private event room (with a full kitchen) which can be reserved by residents. This incredible corner unit has been opened up completely to showcase beautiful panoramic views from nearly every room! From the moment you enter, you’ll be saying, “it’s just right”. The kitchen has been beautifully updated to include lovely stainless steel appliances and granite countertops (please note that the massive island is one solid piece of granite – no seam! Be sure to ask your neighbors if their island granite has a seam) and a stainless steel prep table. You’re going to love preparing meals and entertaining in this space. The space is very open, but it’s easy to envision these spaces serving different purposes, such as living room, dining room, and family room without feeling crowded or cramped. As we enter the Primary bedroom you’ll appreciate large space, and more beautiful views of the setting sun. The primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom (with a dual-head oversized shower and Toto toilet with bidet washlet). The second bedroom and guest bathroom are equally lovely and tastefully updated as well. Back in the main living space your eyes will also be drawn to the rear patio, which has fantastic water views (I can’t promise you’ll see dolphins playing every time you go out there, but I’m just saying that I have…). All of the windows in this unit were replaced in 2015 with hurricane rated windows and hurricane shutters on the patio doors. (The HOA is discussing replacement of all windows, sliders, and balcony rails, and there may be a special assessment to cover the cost. They are working with an insurance company for the replacement costs of the windows and doors. Currently no special assessment amount has been assigned). The windows feature electric (remote control) shades. The a/c was replaced in 2020 and also features a Honeywell wireless portable comfort control and UV light. Rentals allowed with a minimum of 6 months and 1 day lease. With this unit comes the perfect assigned and covered parking space, which is directly in front of the entrance, #7. Pets are welcome (restrictions apply). The community is friendly and welcoming, offering a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options, just hop on the Jolly Trolly (which stops nearby) and go exploring. Unit 705 is just right…
