About this home

BEACHFRONT PROPERTY…...…..... OPEN TO SELLER FINANCING........FULLY FURNISHED........... BUILDING NEVER FLOODED………FULLY RENOVATED…….IMPACT WINDOWS…….........BREATHTAKING OCEAN AND BEACH VIEWS……….HOA PAYS EVERYTHING BUT ELECTRIC……………. Rarely does a beachfront opportunity like this come along. In a community where properties seldom hit the market, this residence stands out as one of the most desirable—MERE STEPS FROM THE SAND, overlooking the Gulf, and located in a building that has never flooded. With only 44 residences in the entire community and fewer than a dozen offering water views like this, opportunities here are incredibly limited. From the moment you step into the living room, your eyes are drawn to the sparkling blue water of the Gulf, reminding you that the beach is not just nearby… it’s part of your everyday life. Walk outside and within moments your feet are in the sand, or spend the afternoon relaxing beside the beautiful community pool just steps from your door. The community itself reflects a level of pride that is immediately noticeable, with beautifully maintained tropical landscaping and grounds that create a true island retreat the moment you arrive. Inside, the home has been fully renovated with thoughtful custom design and a bright open-concept layout, creating a space that feels both refined and relaxed. A custom kitchen anchors the living area, complemented by high-end finishes, California Closets custom storage, and impact windows throughout that bring in natural light while offering protection and efficiency. Being sold fully furnished, the next owner can simply arrive with a suitcase and immediately begin living the island dream—sunrise walks along the Gulf, evenings watching the sunset paint the water, and weekends filled with friends, family, and ocean breezes. With the HOA covering nearly everything except electricity, ownership here is refreshingly simple. Combined with the rare availability in this community and the possibility of seller financing, this is more than just a condo—it’s an opportunity to own a piece of Holmes Beach paradise that very few ever get the chance to call their own.
