Enhanced for peace of mind, the condo is equipped with hurricane windows and doors, and benefits from a newer HVAC system installed in 2020. Newly installed luxury vinyl flooring extends throughout the living areas, where expansive sliders open to a generous balcony. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and an expansive breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining.
