Conveniently just a block from St. Armands Circle, it boasts breathtaking views of Lido Key beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Imagine sipping a cocktail while enjoying daily sunsets over the beach nearby. This bright and modern condominium lives large and is filled with natural light, featuring two bedrooms, two baths, and spectacular gulf and city views from every room. An expansive balcony runs the length of the unit and is accessible from the living room and both bedrooms. The spacious living area includes custom-built cabinetry, display shelving, accent lighting, a coffered ceiling, crown molding and a roomy dining area. There’s even a cozy nook ideal for an office, reading room, bar or extra storage. Hardwood flooring throughout adds a touch of elegance, while vertical window sheer shades soften the natural light.

Additionally, it features custom-built cabinets with crown molding, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a generously sized walk-in shower and multiple shower heads.
