As the largest floor plan available in Bay’s Bluff, the residence spans the entire width of the building and, with its expansive windows, offers either sunrise or sunset views from every room - - - and wonderful cross breezes! * * * Updated and meticulously maintained, this unit is move-in ready with furniture included. Hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors provide added peace of mind. The screened lanai is situated so that it offers almost total privacy making it the perfect place to sit, relax and watch the seabirds, sailboats, and breathtaking sunsets.

The bayfront heated pool and grill area are ideal for hosting a sunset cocktail party or cookout. Or relax at the water’s edge in an Adirondack chair on the community’s 267-foot private seawall, where the soothing sounds of the bay will calm your mind and spirit. * * * Location, location, location!
