Elevated ceilings create an open and airy ambiance throughout. This villa features two primary suites, each with a private ensuite bath and access to expansive balconies, perfect for taking in the ocean air. The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting Viking appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry that extends to the ceiling for both elegance and functionality. Off the living room, a third balcony offers an idyllic retreat for relaxing while enjoying ocean views. When it is time to wind down you have electronic shades and blackout curtains to allow the rest and relaxation to be absorbed. A rare convenience in this building, the penthouse also includes an in-unit washer and dryer. Currently utilized as a high-performing rental, the property generates substantial revenue, making it equally appealing as an investment or private coastal escape. Shipwatch Villas enjoy exclusive access to a private boardwalk, just steps from the sand. At closing, the buyer will pay a one-time fee to KICA equal to 0.5% of the purchase price.
