Incredible location and breathtaking views of the gulf set this walk up townhome apart from anything else at this price point. Enjoy an evening walk to St Armand’s Circle for dinner or relish a magnificent sunset over Lido Beach from one of the two westward facing balconies. The property is being sold furnished and has been re-painted throughout with the carpeting replaced at the same time in August 2014. Concrete balconies were replaced in July 2014 and the assessment has been paid by the current owners. An attached garage with electronic door opener and an interior entrance provide security for you and your guests when arriving home after dark. Spacious master bedroom and two guest rooms are on the third level providing a buffer for guests or family members trying to sleep or rest while others are enjoying the living space on the second level. Though the current owners have never used this property as a rental, the rental income potential is significant and should be explored further by those buyers interested in an investment/income producing property.
