Rare opportunity to live downtown on the Bay with an unobstructed view of the bridge, boats, birds, kayaks, barrier islands and manatees. Live safely in this gated community on it's own peninsula with 24 hour security. This 10th floor condo can be your home for the holidays and winter. No one will ever build in front and block your endless bay and sunset views. Boat slips are currently available for lease. You can lounge on your extra wide covered, screened balcony day and night, or you can dock your boat or paddle a kayak only a few steps away. Cook in your fully equipped KitchenAid kitchen with granite countertops and ample custom cabinets and entertain at your bar with its own sink, built-in wine rack and wine cooler. The condo boasts a full size GE washer/dryer and new AC system. You can work out in the gym, the pool or the tennis and pickleball courts then relax in the primary bathroom’s whirlpool therapy bathtub or shower with plenty of warmth from the new tankless hot water system. The gate guard will call you when your guests arrive, and the concierge will see that packages are delivered to your door or bring up your heavy groceries for you. A large walk-in closet faces several cabinets and closets along the hallway between the two bedrooms and bathrooms. The building’s ground floor also has an air-conditioned storage room with an assigned cage.

For overnight visitors the built-in bookcase in the guest bedroom/office becomes a pull-down queen-sized bed and the guest bathroom has a walk-in shower along with custom cabinets and double sinks. The living area ceramic tile floors resist water and beach sand and are cool and non-slip to walk on, while the guest bedroom has fine American cherrywood floors. Balcony sliding glass doors are latest code for hurricane resistance. Association fees include common area maintenance, water and sewer, garbage, cable TV and wifi. Unit owner pays only electricity, AC maintenance and homeowner’s insurance.
