* * Rare Oceanfront Location * * Ideally positioned in the highly sought-after oceanfront community of Spindrift, this exceptional property offers a unique chance to own one of only 50 units situated on over 6 acres of prime Shell Beach land. This beautifully reimagined and refurbished condominium is one of four, positioned directly across from the clubhouse and pool, and boasts its own two-car garage. Step into a thoughtfully designed home that maximizes the Shell Beach lifestyle. The great room is a showstopper, featuring open beam cathedral ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling chiseled seashell (quartz) Shadow Stone wall with a gas fireplace. The comfortable living and dining areas seamlessly flow into a kitchen adorned with Windermere Quartz countertops, complete with chiseled edges. Throughout the living and bedroom areas, you'll find new engineered Paseo Sala hickory plank floors. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, a stylish subway tile veneer behind the stove, and a convenient pull-out pantry. Guests will appreciate the Kohler soaking tub in the guest bath, while the master bath offers heated floors, a walk-in shower with rainglass front, pebble floors, and tile walls. Outdoor living is a delight with a spacious concrete patio that provides ocean views when the doors are open. The home also features a level entryway both to the side and through the patio as well as an oceanfront deck. Directly across the drive is the oceanfront clubhouse and a fenced in-ground pool, spa, commercial kitchen, pool tables, deck, grassy lawn and lounge area. Entertain your guests in the expansive main room, prepare meals in the large kitchen, enjoy a game of billiards or table tennis, or unwind in the spa. The HOA fee of $660 per month covers all water usage within the unit as well as trash removal (and the roofing throughout the complex was replaced in 2023). Not to be missed and priced to move quickly!
