Presenting direct ocean views without the oceanfront price. This generously sized 2 bed, 2 full bath, top floor corner unit in a well cared for masonry building is just steps to the beach and has views galore. The current owners have used this as a private getaway that has not been rented. Watch the waves from both the living room balcony and the large sized master bedroom. A nice bay view is also available from the east side common walkway leading to the unit. Electric hurricane shutters for windows and a manual enclosure for the balcony allow you to keep deck furniture in place all year. A brand new HVAC unit with wifi enabled thermostat was installed in December of 2024. The kitchen was recently renovated with granite counter tops, soft close cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have also been fully updated. The master bedroom and living area received new carpet in 2022. An electric fireplace brings an additional level of coziness and a custom wet bar area provides expanded functionality beyond the kitchen. There are remote control ceilings fans in both bedrooms and the living room. The unit also features a full size front load washer and dryer and a large capacity hot water heater. The unit comes with 2 reserved parking spaces (one under cover) along with an outside storage unit for all your beach gear as well as an outside shower for owners and guests. The midtown location provides quick and convenient access to the route 90 bridge and a low density beach. This well maintained building and well run association allows excellent condo fees bringing down the total cost of ownership. The unit comes fully furnished with a coastal theme. Welcome to the beach!!!
