The bright end-unit draws in natural light through hurricane-rated windows and sliding doors, with high ceilings and crown molding adding quiet polish. Private balconies extend off every room—including the dining room with east and northwest-facing sliders—inviting sunsets, cross breezes, and open-air mornings. Renovated and opened for a modern, open-concept flow, the kitchen is finished with granite countertops, stainless steel smart appliances, and plantation shutters. The reconfigured primary suite includes custom cabinetry and a remodeled bath area, plus a generous owner’s storage closet just outside the door near the elevator. Surfsedge’s recent building renovation brings a resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, lobby, guest suites, and a private beach walk for effortless days by the sand.

Outside, tropical landscaping frames a 36’ x 16’ pool, flagstone deck, and pavilion for sunset evenings.

The open-air boat lift adds a secondary spot sized for jet skis as well as a boat, expanding options for watersports and weekend cruising. Offered on oversized canal lots, the setting is complemented by gorgeous bay views and easy beach access just around the corner. There’s also the option to purchase as a package with adjacent lot 20, which has its own separate boat lift with a dock, for a larger waterfront vision.
