Sutton Place provides an exceptional suite of resort-style amenities that cater to every interest. On the Gulf side, enjoy a covered beachfront pavilion complete with gated parking, restrooms, picnic tables, outdoor showers, chair storage, and beach lockers available for $30 per year. Bayside, take full advantage of two heated pools, an active clubhouse, barbecue areas, a fishing pier, and a marina offering boat slips for vessels up to 23 feet at $300 annually, alongside a kayak launch with storage for $150 per year—with two kayaks included in the sale. Enhancing the community further, a brand-new 38’x33’ fitness center and sauna facility is currently underway. The neighborhood is also warmly pet-friendly, welcoming two pets up to 25 pounds, and permits flexible one-month minimum leasing twice per year.
Inside this spacious three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom, 1,450-square-foot townhouse, large diagonal porcelain tile flooring flows seamlessly throughout the entire layout. The inviting living and dining areas feature classic plantation shutters, a ceiling fan, and a deep 7’x3’ under-stair storage closet. The well-appointed kitchen is outfitted with a sleek Samsung stainless steel appliance package—complete with a convection oven and built-in microwave—and casual breakfast bar seating for two. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated laundry room with a closing privacy door houses GE laundry units, the water heater, an exterior fire exit door, and generous cabinetry and shelving for extra storage. Storage extends into the attached 20’x18’ one-car garage, which boasts durable tile flooring, dual side bump-outs for gear, a secondary refrigerator, and extensive organizational space. Out back, step through glass sliders to your private, west-facing screened lanai equipped with sunshades to capture breathtaking evening sunsets over serene greenbelt views.
Ascend the carpeted staircase to the tranquil primary suite, highlighted by plantation shutters, custom closet built-ins, and an en-suite bath finished with designer tilework and a sleek, glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Down the hall, the second bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet, while the updated full guest bath features a quartz-topped vanity and an additional glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Throughout every room, full hurricane impact windows ensure pin-drop quiet interiors and restful nights.
Exceptional resilience comes standard thanks to an elevated 11-foot baseline elevation, which resulted in zero water or wind damage from recent storms. Notable mechanical and structural updates provide enduring value, including full impact windows and sliders, a 2023 water heater, a 2018 HVAC system meticulously maintained on an active service contract, and a clean 10-year milestone certification passed in January 2024.
