About This Home

As of December 2024

This beautifully remodeled penthouse in La Playa is just steps away from the secluded Kellogg Beach and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the bay, ocean, and downtown skyline. The private rooftop deck, with its stunning 360-degree views, is the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in sunsets. Upon entering this exceptional home, you're instantly immersed in a beachfront lifestyle, highlighted by elegant interior finishes and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the stunning scenery. Featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, the residence includes a formal entry, spacious living and dining areas designed to capture the views, and a well-appointed kitchen with high-end appliances and a central island. The primary suite offers a serene escape, complete with a spa-like bathroom that features a separate shower and a luxurious soaking tub. Additionally, there are two more bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a half bath for guests. Ideally located, this property provides convenient access to both beach and bay activities, schools, restaurants, the airport, and minutes from Downtown and beach communities!
