You came for the sunshine; the water. Here it is! Without the noise; without the traffic. Yet within minutes of the Gulf and sand of Indian Rocks Beach . . . Even better: You absolutely DO NOT need a car here . . . Look up and down the local coastline. I challenge you to find a better bargain that gives you exactly what you're looking for . . . Other units are for sale in this complex. Some are larger and may, on paper, seem more desirable. But let me tell you why this unit is the best available among a complex of 295. It has some of the best, updated interior features combined with the best location and views with light-bright southern exposure. No others boast an updated, open-concept interior with a heated pool steps outside their door . . . This is the total package: 2-bedroom/2 bath, 987-square-foot, second-floor unit. The huge screened balcony has ample room for enjoying the outdoors and boasts a new high-capacity front-load washer under the dryer that is tucked into an alcove . . . This building is closest the Intercostal, near the kayak racks and launch. You'll also find the tennis courts between Building 10 and the water. There, you'll find several Cornhole players with their coolers on Tuesday and Saturday mornings . . . Other times, Pickelball is the sport of the day. Owners and renters can also enjoy the sunshine and tropical breeze on the shuffleboard courts across the manicured lawn . . . Your unit faces south toward the east side of the building. The living/dining combo features a wall of sliding glass doors overlooking Bonner Park. The gated community has a private, locked entrance to the park. Walk to Indian Rocks Beach (30 minutes) by traversing the 20-acre Bonner Park, cutting through a lovely, small neighborhood to reach McGough Park. There, you will emerge at the base of the bridge to IRB. (See map.) . . . Amenities at the New Atlantis Club also include a fitness room and clubhouse with a full kitchen, large gathering room, pool table, library and a computer for your use. Full-time management on site. Picnic tables, gas and charcoal grills litter the landscape and Tiki Huts and tropical flowers enhance the vibe . . . The complex is unusually quiet except for March and April for the most part. The community is made up of snowbirds and tourists of all ages. You must wait two years before you can rent out your unit . . . Now, know this: Most condominiums in Florida are facing assessments after the Surfside condominium collapse a few years ago. This appears to be happening all over the country . . . New Atlantis is no different. Another is coming next year . . . But here, new management was hired and new board members were elected in May. Homeowners are encouraged because the new Board has begun asking for input from owners on spending-a significant departure from the previous. Additionally, they are upgrading the grounds and equipment all over the grounds . . . THE BOTTOM LINE: At Unit 1049 in Building 10, at the New Atlantis Club on the Intercostal in Lago , Florida is a dream come true. If you take advantage of this amazing opportunity, you will come home to a spectacular combination of interior and exterior beauty situated in an ideal location, surrounded by water and nature as well as services and shops galore right outside your quiet, gated community-all you will ever need or want in the best location in the county for peanuts.
