7540 BAY ISLAND DRIVE S UNIT 162

Welcome to your pristine coastal sanctuary. Designed with a "coastal chic" aesthetic, this professionally remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers 1,110 sq. ft. of sophisticated, light-filled living space. Located in Bay Island, a premier 24-hour gated 55+ community, this turnkey end unit, pairs waterfront views with added piece of mind — a brand-new building roof (December 2025) to protect your investment and ease special assessment worries. Step inside to an airy, open layout highlighted by premium ceramic tile flooring and zero carpet. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, thoughtfully designed with gleaming granite countertops and a pass-through breakfast bar that keeps the water views in sight, brand-new stainless-steel appliances and custom shaker-style cabinetry featuring soft-close hinges, durable dovetail drawers, and convenient pull-out shelving — topped with crown molding. The generous primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering peaceful water views, a large walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Pamper yourself in the spa-like walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile work, complemented by a new granite-topped vanity. For ultimate convenience, a dedicated in-unit washer and dryer are housed right here. Guests will feel equally spoiled in the fully renovated second bathroom, showcasing an elegant tile inlay in the tub/shower combo. Blissful Florida evenings await on your private, covered lanai. Unwind against a backdrop of peaceful sunset views, made even better by a premium upgrade: an electronic roll-down, high-visibility screen that protects your space without ever obstructing your view of the water. Additional high-value features include full impact-resistant windows and sliding door, a brand-new water heater, and a dedicated covered parking space. In Bay Island, you’ll enjoy a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle. Exceptional amenities include heated pools and spas, tiki huts, waterfront grilling stations, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard courts, and a waterfront walking path. The clubhouse has a fitness center, billiards, and a robust social calendar. The all-inclusive monthly fee covers: Basic cable, high-speed internet, water, sewer, trash, flood insurance, exterior landscaping, and 24-hour security. The community is pet-friendly (up to 2 pets, 1 dog max under 15 pounds) and allows flexible rentals (30-day minimum, 3x per year). Ditch the hassle of parking when enjoying the area, because a SunRunner rapid transit stop sits right outside the community gates, whisking you away to world-class Gulf beaches, local shopping dining, or vibrant downtown St. Petersburg in minutes.
