If you’ve always dreamed of living on the water but thought it was out of reach, this hidden gem will change your mind. This beautifully updated single-story, second-floor waterfront condo offers breathtaking views of the marina and the Grand Lagoon—an inlet of Lake Pontchartrain—right from your expansive 12' x 29' private balcony. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply soaking in the serenity of waterfront living. Inside, you’ll find 10' ceilings, a wall of windows with built-in blinds, lovely tile floors throughout, and an updated kitchen and baths, including a jetted tub in the primary suite. The unit features inside laundry, a two-year-old roof and water heater, and the convenience of no interior stairs. The building includes an elevator, making access effortless. Low utility bills add to the appeal, and your water, sewer, and garbage are included in the condo dues. Even better—this community is grandfathered to allow docking of boats up to 20 feet, giving you direct access to the water right outside your door. Located just 35 minutes to Downtown New Orleans and less than 45 minutes to Louis Armstrong International Airport, this condo offers the perfect blend of peaceful waterfront living with easy access to city amenities. Nearby attractions include the walkable Historic Olde Towne district (5–10 minutes away) with its shops, dining, murals, and the Slidell Museum.
