Welcome to the Buckingham at Town Shores of Gulfport … the NEWEST AND ONLY ELEVATED BUILDING WITH UNDERBUILDING PARKING in this premier, sought-after 55+ community just steps away from Gulfport Village. It’s also the only building with a secure lobby entrance, washer/dryers in every unit … and wide-open terraces overlooking the SPARKLING GULF WATERS OF BOCA CIEGA BAY! This unit has been FRESHLY PAINTED IN NEUTRAL TONES and updated with a BEAUTIFUL COASTAL COTTAGE VIBE … fully furnished and ready and waiting for a new owner to call it their forever home! There is light-toned wood flooring throughout the living area, dining area and bedrooms, and off-white ceramic tile in the kitchen, hallway and baths. The kitchen features solid white cabinetry with extra pantry storage and teal-flecked solid surface counters with a beige tiled backsplash. The balcony surface was recently renovated and sealed with a light and beachy textured, waterproof epoxy coating. Enjoy relaxing year-round on your private balcony with glimpses of spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and daily sightings of pelicans, dolphins and manatees swimming by the seawall below! The primary bedroom has a luxurious, “Tommy Bahama” West Indies Island charm and sliders that frame the turquoise bay waters outside.
