About 1 Benjamin Franklin Dr Unit 121

Nestled on the 12th floor of St. Armands Tower North, this condo is the epitome of beachfront living. Conveniently located just a block from St. Armands Circle, it boasts breathtaking views of Lido Key beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Imagine sipping a cocktail while enjoying daily sunsets over the beach located just a few steps away. This bright and modern condo lives large and is filled with natural light, featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and spectacular Gulf and city views from every room. An expansive balcony runs the length of the unit and is accessible from the living room and both bedrooms. The spacious living area includes custom-built cabinetry, display shelving, accent lighting, a coffered ceiling, crown molding, and a roomy dining area. There’s even a cozy nook perfect for an office, reading room, bar or extra storage. Hardwood flooring throughout adds a touch of elegance, while vertical window sheer shades soften the natural light. For added weather protection and safety, the window and sliding doors have been upgraded and are impact-rated. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a breakfast bar, granite countertop and backsplash, under-cabinet task lighting, a wine cooler with a glass door, and an octagon tray ceiling with cove lighting. The primary suite is a true retreat, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing forever views north up the beach and out over the gulf. Additionally, it features custom-built cabinets with crown molding, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a generously sized walk-in shower and multiple shower heads. St. Armands Towers North is an extremely well-maintained and secure building with a resort-style heated pool with Gulf views, a fitness center, sauna, social room and full-time office manager. Included is a conveniently located 1-car covered parking space right next to the front door, and a private storage room. This location is simply unbeatable, with over 140 upscale boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, and more just steps away.
