The kitchen was fully updated last year and has been thoughtfully designed to maximize functionality and style, featuring custom cabinetry, a built-in spice rack drawer, stain resistant and low maintenance quartz countertops, and a wine refrigerator—perfect for both daily living and entertaining. Every room in the residence enjoys uninterrupted Gulf views, offering a constant connection to the ocean just beyond your windows.The owners have taken exceptional care of the home including a new glass shower door installed this year, adding thoughtful touches to its modern appeal.
The expansive outdoor lanai is significantly larger than most condominiums, offering an exceptional setting to unwind, dine al fresco, or simply soak in the breathtaking surroundings. New vinyl impact sliding glass doors, installed in 2025, along with easy roll-up hurricane shutters, provide both peace of mind and year-round comfort. Additional conveniences include a dedicated covered carport space and a private storage locker in the shared laundry room.
