16326 GULF BOULEVARD 308

Where the sky melts into the Gulf each evening and salt air drifts through open doors, life at La Contessa in Redington Beach feels beautifully unhurried. Setting this exceptional residence apart at the very beginning is the private one-car garage (in addition to an assigned parking space)… a true rarity for beachfront condos. Take a secured elevator to a semi-private landing on the 4th floor (only shared with one other unit) and walk through the double doors to your new slice of paradise. At the heart of the home, a massive kitchen anchors the living space with abundant cabinet storage and counterspace. The open concept dining and living areas are spacious and illuminated by the sunlight pouring in through the sliding glass doors (or turn down the natural light with the brand new motorized sun shades over the sliders). The primary suite is positioned beachside so that even from bed you have a clear uninterrupted view of the water, and opens to the balcony through another set of sliders, also featuring new motorized shades. Completing the primary suite are dual closets and an oversized primary bathroom featuring a large soaking tub, a separate walk-in shower, a water closet, linen closet, and dual sinks with abundant storage. The other designated bedroom has a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, while a spacious bonus room is ideal for a third bedroom, home office, or private den (or the perfect combination of all three), plus a hall bath for all guests' convenience. But outside is where the nature show really takes off. The beach-facing private balcony becomes your front-row seat to golden sunsets, green flashes, dolphin shows, and midsummer afternoon storms rolling in from offshore. Through the den is a door to yet another balcony along the east side of the building, which could be the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee with a sunrise view. La Contessa is also in the midst of an exciting enhancement: the pool area is currently under construction, with completion slated for THIS SPRING! The result will be a beautifully reimagined outdoor retreat featuring TWO Pebbletec pools, an oversized spa, a stunning grill station, poolside bathrooms, brand new outdoor furniture, and new pavers to lead you down to our famous Redington Beach — elevating the amenity experience well beyond the ordinary. Walking distance to THREE local staples - The Conch Republic Grill, Sweet Sage Café, and Frog Pond - and across the street from a delightful little playground and Friendship Park, this location is one you really would never want to leave.
