On the 12th floor of St. Armands Tower North, this condominium is the epitome of beachfront living. 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. For added weather protection and safety, the window and sliding doors have been upgraded and are impact rated. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a breakfast bar, granite countertop and backsplash, under-cabinet task lighting, a wine cooler with a glass door, and an octagon tray ceiling with cove lighting. The primary suite is a retreat, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing forever views north up the beach and out over the gulf. 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. St. Armands Towers North is an extremely well-maintained building with a resort-style heated pool with gulf views, a fitness center, sauna, social room and a full-time office manager. Included is a convenient one-car covered parking space next to the front door and a private storage room. This location is unbeatable, with over 140 upscale boutiques, restaurants, art galleries and more close by.
