Unit 1401 is a 2,274-square-foot Gulf-front condominium where approximately 34 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass showcases expansive Gulf and coastline views. Large rooms, abundant natural light and oversized crown molding complement the spacious interior. The completely upgraded kitchen gives this residence a distinctive look of its own, with new cabinetry, backsplash, tile flooring, laundry room cabinetry and black stainless steel appliances. The centerpiece is the Vetrazzo countertop surface, where colorful recycled-glass pieces create an artisanal, mosaic-like appearance reminiscent of sea glass and the emerald-toned Gulf beyond the windows. An oversized open enamel sink completes the updated kitchen. Updates continue throughout the baths with new granite countertops and tile flooring. The primary suite offers a large walk-in closet, private balcony and bath with double vanities, walk-in shower, jetted tub and private water closet.
