Maximization of space is a defining characteristic of this thoughtfully designed waterfront 1/1 at Tropicana Gardens. The bright kitchen offers double or triple the counterspace of comparable units. The countertops are white quartz, with matching stone in the workspace setup. The backsplash is fresh & creates a harmonious contrast with the original wood cabinets from 1958, restored & beautifully maintained. The desk area is great for someone working from home or just using the computer. For someone valuing additional kitchen space, it could be used in that capacity as well. Enjoy an Intracoastal view from the balcony. There is impact glass throughout; wood flooring in the living area & bedroom; tile in the kitchen. Great natural light is complemented by recessed lighting, track lighting & the ceiling fan lights. An updated bathroom features an LED-framed mirror & modern vanity. The bedroom features a neat vanity with chair. All units come with a large, separate storage locker & 1 assigned parking spot. Tropicana Gardens is a well-maintained 55+ community with a heated pool on the Intracoastal. The building is past Milestone Inspections & fully reserved. It's a quiet community but also offers social events. There is an elevator, common laundry & bike storage. The location is a major part of the allure. There is ocean access across the street at Lantana Beach. Also, great proximity to: The Eau Resort; Dune Deck Caf; Plaza del Mar Shopping Center with Publix & restaurants Thaikyo & Art Basil; Lantana Nature Preserve. The sidewalks are bustling with walkers, joggers, bikers & shoppers. This is island living!
