MUST SEE this first floor 2/2 UPDATED AND PET FRIENDLY condo with your own patio (27x8) with backyard water views! The Avalon is one of the few buildings that allow pets; this one allows either a cat or a dog! Your parking space is directly at your front door with a new handicap ramp right at your door. As you enter, you will notice the brand new beautiful porcelain tile flooring (throughout)! The kitchen was updated in 2022 with new wood cabinets, Cambria Quartz countertops and matching stainless steel Frigidaire appliances. Electric and plumbing updated in 2022, as well as the Central AC in 2014 (which heats with natural gas and included in your monthly condo fee of $494/month). The average electric bill is $50/month and very low HOA fees that include gas, water, cable TV, internet, trash and more! Town Shores Marina is just across the street with boat and jet ski slips rented to owners of Town Shores (upon availability; currently on a wait list). The very active clubhouse has a fitness center (gym), billiards room with lots of tables, a library and game rooms inside the clubhouse; outside there are tennis, shuffleboard, pickle ball and bocce courts! This is an active 55+ waterfront community located in the heart of Gulfport. This hidden gem is located in an unspoiled waterfront village district brimming with independent shops, boutiques and eateries. Only 10 minutes away from award winning Gulf Beaches, 30 minutes to Tampa and St Pete International Airports. Unfortunately, no washer/dryers allowed in condo but there is a locked laundry room just steps away, also on the first floor. Call today for your private showing!
