316 8TH STREET S UNIT 401

LOCATION! This condo gives what you want from city life with the option to “get away from it all” in minutes to the white sand and blue water of St. Pete-area beaches, listed by every major ranking service as among the best in the world. Any map proves this condo is a few BLOCKS, not miles from: --a Publix grocery store, banks and parks --the Pinellas Bike Trail --at least 3 health clubs including the 10,000 sq ft AMPed Fitness Center DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET and open 24/7 --Central Ave with its array of museums, restaurants, bars and shops --three major hospitals and a full complement of medical/dental practices --Tropicana Field: Major League Baseball and events --all the activities of St. Pete Pier, marina, bayfront and Beach Drive That's what’s outside. What's inside this place? This 2-bed/2 full-bath unit is move-in ready. Bedrooms sit privately on opposite ends of the unit, each with their own full-bath. Enjoy easy living and entertaining with the open floor plan and uninterrupted flow between kitchen, breakfast bar, dining/living areas and the balcony. Newer appliances, granite countertops and ceramic tile floors throughout. This corner/end unit means you get Western and Southern exposure. The living room has a picture-window sliding door that opens to the large private balcony/terrace to guarantee you never miss those spectacular Florida sunsets. If you prefer to stumble out of bed for a quick look at the new day, use the private door from your master bedroom for direct access to that balcony. This is a secure and quiet building with transponder/gated access to your onsite parking. There's hundreds of other condos for sale in the area that are 40 or 50 years old, but Casablanca Towers was built in 2007. That matters. In the end, if you want a well-designed unit of quality and thought it might be nice to pay less than $500,000 to walk or jog rather than drive to all the fun and activity in life, then this is your place.
