Rarely do these 16th floor, access restricted, Penthouse floor units become available for purchase, but here is an opportunity to own a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, beautifully updated, and selling fully furnished at Destin Surfside. It's all been done for you here and the views are truly spectacular! Gulf, western coastline, and bay views along with romantic sunsets, all year round, create a true coastal retreat. The kitchen has new stainless, LG appliances including refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave oven and smooth cooktop range. Quartz counter tops, natural toned wood cabinetry, a large stainless sink, faucet, and can lighting complete the updates. The foyer wall has been removed, which opens up the entire unit and both of the bathrooms have also been beautifully updated. No expense was spared The master bath is like a spa retreat with its fabulous new shower, which has a rimless sliding shower door, coordinating tiled walls and flooring, built-in soap dish, brushed stainless plumbing fixtures, quartz counter tops, natural wood toned cabinetry, white double porcelain sinks, high end lighting fixtures, designer framed mirror, glass shelving, new toilet, tile flooring and a new GE stackable washer and dryer finish the remodel. The guest bath has also been upgraded similarly. New wood toned LVP flooring runs throughout the entire unit with tile flooring in the baths for ease of care. No carpeting here! All the ceilings have been professionally smoothed and refinished, and there are new, popular solar shades found covering all floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and windows. The two bedrooms have king beds and everything is newly and attractively furnished, decorated and turn-key. Surfside is a well managed and maintained, CAT 5 storm rated building with an active homeowner's association. Very important is that the beach at Surfside is privately owned by the homeowner's association and the property has a skywalk over the scenic road to their beach, from the pool deck, where daily beach sets up are offered free of charge to all the owners which is very unusual. There are two heated spas, a swimming pool, kiddie pool, large sun deck and a picnic area all over looking the Gulf. The pool side Tiki Bar offers snacks and drinks, in season, and there is an on-site full service restaurant, The Royal Palm, delivering room service too. Enjoy a massage in the day spa, or a style and cut, manicure and pedicure in the salon. It's a luxury experience at Surfside. The beach bar offers food and drinks and bonfires and a cook-outs on the beach every Friday night. Also available is the events ballroom for wedding receptions, parties, and business gatherings. Convenient is the full service front desk located in the lobby, on-site management and maintenance team, heated and cooled interior corridors, and even two attached parking garages, one for owners and one for their guests, offering ample parking. A newly updated owners room complete with kitchen, many dining tables and chairs, a large screen TV and even a fire place, can be reserved and enjoyed by owners for large gatherings and parties. A BBQ grilling and picnic area are available as well. A large fitness center, tennis and pickle ball courts along with basketball and even shuffle board courts are offered too. And the owner's pets have a nice fenced area to run and socialize on the grounds. Don't miss viewing this one, it will not disappoint...
