A dynamic scene unfolds daily with visiting shore birds of every description, dolphins feeding in pods, jumping mullet, and manatee lazily cruising by—just outside your backdoor. Tie up a boat to the private dock, do some fishing, and enjoy the sunset illuminating towering clouds rising in the eastern sky. This condo is proven to be Hurricane resilient. This unit, the garage, and the building came through 2024 unscathed as water flowed harmlessly down the north-side swale and along the driveway into the Intracoastal Waterway. Even the electrical power remained on during all recent storm events thanks to the hardened electrical supply installed along Midnight Pass Road by FPL in 2022. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium features a stunning water view, a shaded front patio bordering a tropical garden, a third room which serves as an office/den, or possibly a 3rd bedroom with a simple addition of a Murphy bed. A one-car garage equipped with heavy-duty restaurant-grade shelving, bicycle racks, beach chair hangers, and kayak-paddleboard storage makes for ideal storage for an active lifestyle on the nearby water. Unit updates include impact-resistant PGT WinGuard sliding-glass doors and main bedroom windows, Trane four-ton two-stage HVAC system, refrigerator, water heater, cooktop, dishwasher, Hunter-Douglas Duet cellular shades, and garage door make this bright and cheery home ready for comfortable living. Join the friendly, close-knit Dolphin Bay community where the condo association just completed major projects for building painting, new exterior lighting fixtures, elevator refurbishment, new roofs, rooftop ventilation fan replacement, and clubhouse interior renovation.
