A HIDDEN SARASOTA GEM - FULLY REMODELED, FIRST FLOOR & STEPS FROM THE POOL! If you've been waiting for a condo that feels fresh, modern and completely move-in ready, this may be the one. Beautifully updated from top to bottom, this light and bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence features a 2021 fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, new A/C (2026), fresh interior paint and trim, and a soft modern coastal palette that feels right at home in Sarasota. And the location within the community is hard to beat. This first-floor residence is in the building right next to the heated pool, gazebo and outdoor grills - yet Crooked Creek feels tucked away from it all, surrounded by mature landscaping and nature. One of the community's best-kept secrets? A private gated entrance directly into the 72-acre Red Bug Slough Preserve, where miles of walking trails, wildlife and peaceful natural surroundings are practically in your backyard. Residents also enjoy tennis/pickleball, bike storage and a community storage building with individual 5' x 3' storage lockers for condo residents. Just as important, Crooked Creek is a community that has continued to invest in itself. Recent improvements include roofs replaced in 2021, resurfaced heated pool (2025), freshly painted buildings and new carports (2024-2025), along with well-maintained grounds and community amenities. The HOA fee also includes full exterior maintenance, grounds maintenance and Wi-Fi. Nature outside your door. Sarasota at your fingertips. Nothing to renovate. Just move in and enjoy. At its new price of $269,000, this is one Sarasota hidden gem you'll want to see in person.
