HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER 55+ COMMUNITY! JUST 5 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH! Welcome to your breezy Bradenton retreat in the coveted coastal community of Mount Vernon, where the only thing missing is your favorite pair of flip-flops. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom second-floor condo offers relaxed Florida living with serene pond views and glimpses of Sarasota Bay. Whether you’re here full-time or seasonally, this light-filled home checks all the boxes for comfort, convenience, and charm. The former lanai has been thoughtfully enclosed to add flexible bonus space—perfect for a cozy reading nook, sunny office, or your go-to coffee corner. The open floor plan creates a bright and airy flow that’s ideal for entertaining guests or simply unwinding in peace. Plus, the community-maintained roof was replaced in 2019, offering added peace of mind and long-term value. And when it comes to lifestyle, Mount Vernon delivers. This active 55+ community offers something for everyone: Resort-style pool, Pickleball & tennis courts, Shuffleboard & boat slips, Bayfront park, nature trails, butterfly garden, Kayak launch & storage, Clubhouse with library, game room, and banquet space. Your monthly fee covers it all—cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, pest control, landscaping, and exterior maintenance—making stress-free living a breeze. And the location? You’re just a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride across the bridge to some of Florida’s best beaches. Whether you’re exploring the coast, enjoying happy hour with neighbors, or relaxing by the water, this is the kind of place that feels like vacation every day. Now priced below appraised value—this one’s a no-brainer.
