About This Home

As of November 2016

RENOVATED penthouse with perfect south and southwest-facing sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico from ceiling to floor windows! The fully furnished unit offers strong rental income, which makes it ideal as both an income-producing property and second home in paradise! Custom, high-end finishes include easy-care travertine floors and walls in the entryway, beautiful black granite countertops in the kitchen and elegant wetbar area, and rich wood cabinetry and paneling. Kitchen appliances include mostly stainless Bosch appliances. The living, dining and media rooms, and master bedroom/bath all have full length windows with easily removal plantation shutters, allowing you to control whether you want unobstructed views, partial views, or full privacy. There's plenty of room for entertaining.. ...whether you're offering elegant hors d'oeuvres on the balcony or the whole family is gathering for movie night. The 2 guest bedrooms enjoy views of Choctawhatchee Bay, flatscreen TV's and private baths. The huge, luxurious master suite makes a great retreat from the hubbub: relax on your private balcony in the sky, let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep, watch the gulls while soaking in the jetted tub, or indulge in a sauna. Other pluses include an ornate metal ceiling and faux-finish walls in the bedroom, plus dual sinks, towel warmer, 2 walk-in closets, dual-head shower, and bidet in the bath. Renovations include all new plumbing, new water heater, new granite counters in the guest baths, new toilets, carpet, bedding, and fresh paint.

Besides the private beach, the building includes a heated pool, fitness facilities, tennis, and gated entrance. Buyer must verify all specifications.
