Perched on the 3rd floor of 555 The Esplanade, this TURNKEY two-bedroom, two-bath condominium offers a front-row seat to the Gulf's endless beauty-where turquoise waters, sailboats, and spectacular sunsets paint the horizon each day. Spanning 1, 309 square feet, this light-filled residence captures the essence of coastal living with its open, thoughtfully updated layout and breathtaking full Gulf views from nearly every room. The interiors blend relaxed sophistication and modern comfort, featuring tray ceilings, recessed lighting, IMPACT-RATED WINDOWS AND DOORS, and a soothing neutral palette that complements the surrounding seascape. The updated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry, seamlessly connecting to the living and dining areas for effortless entertaining. A newly screened-in private lanai extends the living space outdoors-perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply listening to the gentle sound of the surf. Both bedrooms provide serene retreats, while the primary suite enjoys its own stunning Gulf backdrop. Additional upgrades include a NEW HVAC SYSTEM, NEW WATER HEATER, and a NEW ROOF, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The community of 49 residences, set directly on Venice Beach, features access to a sparkling pool and private beach , with a newly renovated clubroom and full pool restoration underway-improvements that promise to further enhance the value and appeal of this exceptional Gulf-front property. Ideally located just moments from Historic Downtown Venice, residents enjoy easy access to charming boutiques, coastal dining, marinas, golf courses, live theater, and the city's rich arts and cultural scene. Offering the BEST VALUE directly on the beach , this residence is more than a home-it's an invitation to live the Gulf Coast dream, where every day begins and ends with the sound of the sea.
