** PRICE IMPROVEMENT! ** Welcome to this beautifully REMODELED 2 bed/2 bath GULF FRONT residence, where quiet luxury meets modern comfort! Breathtaking FULL GULF VIEWS. *FURNITURE INCLUDED.* Exceptionally light and bright, this is a rare, highly desirable END UNIT featuring an extra window with sunny southern exposure. Step inside to a spacious OPEN CONCEPT layout, featuring brand NEW 2025 LUXURY VINYL PLANK flooring, crown molding, beautifully textured walls and ceilings, and NEW 2025 designer overhead fandeliers and balcony ceiling fans. 5 panel interior doors throughout add an elegant touch. The living room offers deep elegant built-ins, perfect for displaying collectibles from your travels. Two NEW complete sets of 2024 floor to ceiling hurricane impact sliders open from the living room and primary bedroom into to your own 25’ private open air balcony overlooking 800’ of PRIVATE BEACH and the shimmering Gulf. After sunset, open the glass doors, pull the screen sliders across, and take in the gentle Gulf breeze as you drift off to the soothing sound of the waves. Wake up to breathtaking water views and the cheerful calls of the seagulls as you sip your morning coffee. The bright chef’s kitchen is designed for both functionality and style, with granite countertops extending into a built-in corner desk, a large breakfast bar, and premium KitchenAid, Bosch, and GE Profile stainless appliances. Thoughtful details include an Avallon 32-bottle wine refrigerator, warming drawer, soft close drawers, deep pull-out drawers for pots and pans, and an appliance garage, while dimmable recessed lighting adds ambiance to the space. The primary suite includes a custom walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring dual vanities and a glass enclosed travertine tiled shower. A set of French doors opens to the versatile guest bedroom, which is large enough to accommodate two queen beds or it can function as a home office or den. Ideally located just around the corner from Siesta Key Village, his extraordinary coastal retreat is waiting for you!
