About this home
Poised high above the Gulf of Mexico in the coveted & guard-gated Orchid Beach Club, this gulf-to-bay penthouse features breathtaking direct views of azure Gulf waters & expansive Lido beach, dazzling & vibrant sunsets, plus spectacular Bay & Downtown City views. This masterfully renovated 3654 sf condominium embodies refined luxury, bespoke craftsmanship, & is offered turnkey furnished featuring new designer pieces curated by decorator Audrey Authur.

The Gulf-facing terrace offers an extraordinary expanse of outdoor living space with a granite-clad grill station and stainless hood, ideal for coastal dining and sunset gatherings. The spacious primary suite is a private retreat with sitting area and direct access to the gulf-front terrace, offering an intimate front-row seat to sunset, and the rhythm of the waves. Two custom walk-in closets and a spa-inspired marble bath with a dual-entry glass shower and deep jetted soaking tub complete this serene escape.
