Under contract-accepting backup offers. Experience effortless coastal living in this seaside retreat... a fabulous turn-key 7th floor beachfront condo at the Sand Castle II ready for immediate enjoyment or income potential. This residence has been privately enjoyed and cared for by the current owners for 17 years, but given the opportunity it can be an exciting addition to the next owner's portfolio as WEEKLY RENTALS ARE ALLOWED! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence spans 1,180 square feet and showcases timeless terracotta flooring, providing durability and warmth throughout. Natural light fills the space as the front bedrooms capture tranquil sunrises and Intracoastal views, while the primary suite and living room open to a private, west-facing balcony overlooking the Gulf. This balcony provides an extension of year-round outdoor enjoyment, and is perfect for dining alfresco, diving into a good book, and soaking in unforgettable sunset skies over the water each evening. All windows and sliders are impact-rated (in addition to the hurricane shutters that can protect your outdoor furniture), an upgrade offering both style and peace of mind. Other building perks are TWO elevators, private laundry (washer and dryer are IN-UNIT), and an assigned parking space and several guest parking spots. Downstairs, enjoy the resort-style amenities including a fabulous heated pool and hot tub, gas grilling station, and direct access to the sand and saltwater. Indian Shores is a special beach town with dozens of excellent, local dining establishments within a one-mile radius, or opt to take the beach trolley to the rest of the excitement that Gulf Blvd has to offer. Whether you're searching for a personal retreat or an income-producing property (or a little bit of both!), the rare allowance for weekly rentals makes this an exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of paradise.
