About this home
Beachfront living, panoramic end-unit ocean views, and a spectacular seventh-floor setting set the stage for an incredible coastal lifestyle in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home at Gulf Shores. The open-concept kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, rich wood cabinetry, and bar seating for casual dining. The spacious living room gives the heart of the home an easy sense of openness. Sliding glass doors open directly to the enclosed lanai, where mornings can begin with coffee and the sound of waves breaking along the shore, and evenings end with the windows open to the ocean breeze as the sun sets over the water. The primary suite enjoys its own beachfront view, along with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom and full bathroom provide additional space for overnight guests, a home office, or hobbies. A clubhouse provides space to gather, while assigned covered parking, additional storage, and elevators add everyday convenience. Life at Gulf Shores extends well beyond the home itself. A heated beachfront pool sits just steps from the sand, giving you the choice of lounging poolside or heading straight to the beach for swimming, shelling, or a day along the water. Direct beach access means the coast is yours to enjoy whenever the mood strikes, resulting in the kind of days most people plan a vacation around into part of everyday life. There’s just as much to enjoy when you venture beyond the beach. Historic Downtown Venice is nearby for restaurants, boutique shopping, farmers markets, festivals, and nights out, while the South Jetty, Venice Fishing Pier, waterfront restaurants, parks, golf, boating, and more put some of Venice's favorite destinations close to home. From the million dollar seventh-floor views, the spacious interior layout, to the abundance of activities just around the corner, this is a home that makes the most of an extraordinary place to live. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or the place you'll look forward to returning to throughout the year, Gulf Shores gives you a front-row seat to the very reason so many people dream of living along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
