About This Home

Motivated Seller! Wake up to the ocean every morning with views you can enjoy without even leaving bed. This condo occupies the top two levels of the building, offering privacy and a layout that feels more like a home than a typical condo. Below the living space is parking for 3-4 vehicles, and a private elevator that services only this unit, making everyday living and arrivals effortless. Two large south-facing covered decks set this property apart, delivering both sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the Intracoastal Waterway. In the summer, the decks double as front-row seating for Thursday night fireworks over the boardwalk. The four-unit complex includes a shared swimming pool maintained by the HOA, so residents can enjoy the fun and not the upkeep. At the end of the road, a beach access with a lifeguard stand (in season) is just a short walk away, making it easy to head back and forth for drinks or snacks. The location also offers easy access to Freeman Park, the High Tide Lounge Tiki Bar and Grill, and the North End Mini Mart and Café, about a 10-minute walk. Inside, the condo is turn-key with new interior paint, furnishings, and appliances included. The first level features open living areas with wood flooring and two guest bedrooms with ensuite baths. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a covered deck, alongside another guest bedroom and the laundry room. The HOA also maintains the exterior, insurance (wind, hail, and flood), elevator, yard, and common areas. This property has a strong rental history and works well as a primary home, second home, or rental.
