ZERO DAMAGE FROM THE STORMS AND NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED! The unit has been completely updated inside after a lengthy 2 year remodel. This immaculate two-story penthouse is over 5200 sq ft under roof, and includes a private elevator, 2 balconies, and a 2.5-car garage. This unit was designed to maximize balcony space and completely immerse the owners with river views from almost every room. The upstairs balcony is HUGE. There is an entire area that is OPEN and not covered, so you can enjoy/lounge in the sun. It continues to a covered area, that is great for sunset dinners. There is even a 2nd covered balcony downstairs off the master bedroom and 4th bed/office. The view is always entertaining, with events like the boat races, 4th of July fireworks, and watching the beautiful boats come and go under the green bridge. At night, you can enjoy the city lights and views of the bridge. When you want privacy, just shut the hurricane proof glass sliders, lower the blings, and you will enjoy complete silence. This feels like a 2 story home that was planted on the top of a high rise. The privacy is great. The home has just completed a two year remodel. Practically everything is new! The kitchen cabinets, quartz counters, appliances, sinks, air conditioner, hot water heater, fans, fixtures, vanities, washer/dryer, built in closets, toilets, entertainment wall with fireplace, and even a custom built wine room!
