This exquisite penthouse in the rental restricted, Gulf-front building of St. Thomas at Silver Shells boasts a truly "great room" that includes a large living room with exquisite built-in entertainment center and fireplace, comfortable wet bar with seating, glass-fronted cabinets, large wine cooler, ice maker and under-counter refrigerator, and dining area that easily accommodates a crowd. Starting with the semi-private elevator entry, the latest in high-end features are evident throughout the spacious floor plan -- from floor to ceiling glass doors and windows (all with custom window treatments), 10-foot ceilings with treys and coffers, marble and travertine flooring; custom painting and faux finishes, and built-in closet and storage systems to the recently remodeled "chef's kitchen" with custom wood cabinetry, granite and the latest in stainless steel appliances including SubZero refrigerator and 2 Bosch double-drawer dishwashers, large secluded Vision Art TV in the great room, paneled office, two heating and cooling systems upgraded with dehumidifiers and acu-clean filters with UV lights, and security system. Like the great room, the comfortable master bedroom and two guest bedrooms (each with private bath) directly overlook the Gulf. Outdoor living is superb from the expansive, 80-foot long terrace that spans the unit and ensures unrestricted Gulf views and sunsets. Carefully maintained, this beautifully laid out and designed penthouse is kept in pristine condition by the original owners who use only occasionally. A private, 2-car garage in the owners' parking garage is included with this unit and Cabana 108 may be purchased separately for $99,000. Completing this incredible package are all the amenities of a first class resort -- swimming pools, exercise facilities, on-site spa, tennis courts, beach bar and grill with beach and poolside service, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and more. Some furnishings negotiable. Information to be verified by buyer.
