All three bathrooms have been renovated with updated tile, shower surrounds, toilets and heated towel rods. Additional conveniences include custom closets, a built-in safe in the laundry room and a covered front balcony. Improvements include hurricane-rated windows and doors, Hardie plank siding, a metal roof, an updated carport ceiling and HVAC. Two Gulf-front pools provide separate areas for owners and rental guests, and a gated beach walkover offers direct access to the sand. Three covered parking spaces beneath the building and an additional driveway space provide parking for up to four vehicles. Owner-occupied for the past five years, this thoughtfully upgraded condominium offers an exceptional setting for a primary residence, beach retreat or vacation rental. Offered unfurnished, with the outdoor furnishings, outdoor television, ceiling fans and privacy screens are included.
