Carden Beach 525--Lifestyle. Turn the key and enter the lifestyle you've always wanted. Step out onto the private gallery and you'll have to pinch yourself. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath breezy condo looks right out onto the beautiful Caribbean Sea, with only the brilliant blue water between you and Buck Island. An end unit, it offers big views. If you gaze west, you'll spot an historic sugar mill and a sunset, depending on the hour; if you look straight down, you'll see turquoise Caribbean sea lapping onto the shore. And maybe a turtle swimming by. (You'll want to grab your mask and snorkel.) To the east lies more picturesque shoreline. Back inside, you just may start planning your first party. With high cathedral ceilings and a spacious living area that opens onto the gallery, you've got lots of room. It feels even bigger than it is! The classy updated kitchen, with granite counter tops, stainless appliances, and a smart layout, makes entertaining all the more fun. You can throw open the sliding glass doors to the gallery and enjoy the breezes or you can enjoy air-conditioning throughout--whatever your pleasure. The condo's master bedroom overlooks the sea and its elegant en suite master bath offers not only a shower but a jacuzzi, too. Champagne, anyone? The second bedroom adjoins a bathroom that also opens into the hallway--easy access for guests. Roll-down shutters and a 125kw auto-generator for the complex keeps life carefree. The gated setting provides security, not to mention privacy. Splendidly landscaped with flora and fauna that include tall traveler's palms, majestic Norfolk pines, and tons of tropical flowers, the upscale Carden Beach community will become your haven. Dip into the sea or the lovely seaside swimming pool. Tennis courts and an air-conditioned gym currently encourage your best exercise intentions. And, of course, you can always lounge with a spectacular backdrop. You'll find ample parking just across from your condo entryway--it's a walk-in unit. So, when you're ready to head out, just hop in and go. Several nearby beaches will compete for your attention. (Kite-boarders love the long, sandy beach just to the west.) The neighborhood also boasts fine restaurants, cute convenience stores, a salon, a gas station, and a hip little bar or two. Drive five minutes and you're at the Yacht Club. Drive 15 and you'll arrive at the easternmost edge of the United States, Point Udall. Welcome to the Carden Beach lifestyle!
