    What's special

    Your family beach retreat awaits! One of only 9 beachfront townhomes, these rarely come on the market! With a hard to find 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, private garage, and large terraces overlooking the gulf and patio leading to the pool, this is an affordable alternative to a Lido Beach/St Armands single family residence. Sold furnished and move in ready, the living area is open, with a large welcoming terrace perfect for outdoor dining and gulf views. Each bedroom has its own bath. The closet space and extra storage in the garage has room for everything! A stone's throw away and you are enjoying a day at the beach and a short stroll to St. Armands for shopping and restaurants. End your day watching the the amazing Gulf sunsets from your private Master suite terrace. A prime location to take in all the area has to offer. Rarely is such a special residence available in this location. A must see!
