The unit comes turnkey and partially furnished, with a genuinely open floor plan and room to spread out. The balcony gives you ocean and Intracoastal views. The kitchen has been renovated with a clean, modern look, both bathrooms are updated, and the bedrooms are big, with a large walk-in closet in the primary. Impact windows and doors throughout, your own private washer and dryer, and water, basic cable, and trash/sewer are all included in the association fee.
