Step inside and let the view steal the show. The moment you open the door, your gaze glides through the open kitchen and living space to the shimmering water of Boca Ciega Bay - a calm sweep of blue where dolphins play, manatees drift by, and the marina gently hums with coastal life. From this 5th-floor vantage point, every day brings a new watercolor sky: soft sunrises, glowing sunsets, and the surprise of a rainbow arching across the bay after a passing shower. The northern exposure keeps the home cool and comfortable even in the height of summer, while hurricane-rated windows frame the scenes outside like living art. The layout, refreshed a few years ago, enhances the sense of openness. Rich mahogany-toned tile stretches warmly underfoot, ceiling fans keep the air moving, and several freshly painted walls and ceilings bring a clean, uplifting feel. From the dining table, the water becomes your backdrop - glistening, peaceful, and endlessly soothing. Practical comforts blend seamlessly with the beauty. Laundry and storage are just steps from your door. Gas, water, Internet, and pest control are included in the HOA, and fees are locked through 2026 - remaining lower than several other Town Shores buildings. Thanks to the northern light and efficient construction, the electric bill stays remarkably low. Town Shores offers the kind of 55+ waterfront lifestyle people dream about: multiple pools tucked throughout the community, tennis and pickleball courts, landscaped paths perfect for evening strolls, serene seating along the seawall, and a marina with renovated docks and a kayak launch - a front-row seat to the wildlife that calls this bay home. And just beyond the community, Gulfport shines with its artsy, eclectic spirit - a vibrant waterfront town full of galleries, beloved restaurants, the Tuesday Morning Market, live music, and year-round events that make this place feel alive and welcoming. This Lancaster residence offers space, serenity, and a view that greets you like a familiar melody - a Gulfport treasure where life slows down, the water sparkles, and the best parts of Florida unfold right outside your window.
