Turn your beach cottage dream into reality at 973 Antigua E. in the highly sought-after Bay Indies Resort Community. This beautifully updated, fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, coastal charm, and carefree Florida living. With a new roof installed in 2025 and a new A/C system in 2020, this move-in-ready home allows you to start enjoying paradise from day one.

A widened driveway welcomes you home, leading to both the front entrance and convenient side entry. The outdoor living space is a wonderful extension of the home, featuring a partially screened area beneath the carport with an attractive epoxy floor, comfortable furnishings, and screened sides. Add a framed entrance and you'll have the perfect outdoor retreat complete with an overhead fan for grilling, entertaining friends, relaxing with a morning coffee, or simply enjoying Florida's beautiful weather plus room to store a golf cart if desired. The attached shed provides excellent storage and includes a stacked washer and dryer along with an extra refrigerator.

Step inside to discover a bright, open-concept floor plan centered around a stunning, fully updated kitchen designed to satisfy any cook. Beautiful shaker cabinetry is complemented by quartz countertops, a soft-toned subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The center island features the cooktop and a raised breakfast bar, creating a natural gathering place for family and guests while meals are prepared.  The dining area comfortably accommodates four to six guests and flows seamlessly into the spacious living room where a large wall-mounted television, comfortable sofa, and accent chairs create the perfect setting for relaxation. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home include attractive board-and-batten chair rail detailing, crown molding, drywall finishes, updated lighting, and a soothing coastal color palette that enhances the home's welcoming atmosphere.  Both bedrooms are comfortably carpeted while attractive tile flooring extends throughout the remainder of the home. The guest bedroom features a queen-size bed, furnishings, and a double closet, while the beautifully remodeled guest bath offers a double-sink vanity, tiled walk-in shower, and updated mirror.  The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with a king-size bed, coordinating furnishings, and direct access to the luxurious ensuite bath. Here you'll find a touch-light mirror, updated vanity, spacious walk-in closet, and an impressive walk-in shower featuring designer tile, mosaic flooring, and a stylish half-glass wall.  One exclusion is the guest headboard being replaced.  

Additional updates include newer windows, several eye-catching shiplap accent walls, and a versatile enclosed sunroom just off the living area. Filled with natural light from all-new windows, this bonus space can easily serve as a den, home office, hobby room, or guest overflow area with its daybed. A convenient exterior door with built-in blinds provides direct access to the carport.
