Imagine the beach almost right outside your front door, along with specialty boutiques, restaurants, nature trails, pools and tennis. Lush walking trails meander throughout this community of condominiums, town homes and specialty retail shops. In fo r some exercise? Biking trails run up and down almost all of the scenic corridor of Highway 30-A. At the heart of it all of this sits Gulf Place Town Center, an eclectic mix of residential and retail where one can gaze at the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico while sipping a glass of wine at the Smiling Fish sidewalk cafe. From this beautiful unit, enjoy the activities of Gulf Place without ever leaving the property. Or, just sit quietly on one of two covered porches to enjoy the sweet so und of life at the beach. Upon entering one immediately feels at home. Soft warm colors; upgraded appliances, cabinetry, counters, fixtures; crown molding and 12x12 inch tile flooring can be found throughout the first floor. Custom Southern plantat ion-style blinds adorn most of the interior windows and others are tastefully decorated with custom draperies.
