5396 GULF BOULEVARD #1102
Saint Pete Beach, FL 33706

Under contract-accepting backup offers. At The Seamark, one beachfront unit literally stands above the rest. It is the Penthouse... The only Penthouse Residence. Spanning the entirety of the beachfront real estate for the building, unit 1102 enjoys 180-degree views of the beachfront and Gulf of Mexico. Please view the video, which is 'Set to Stun!' The views will always be of interest, not just a black expanse after sunset. The southern-facing picture window of the living area features the nightly LED lightshow of the Bellwether Beach Resort and beyond to the Don Cesar and Pass-a-Grille, as the coastline curls about the Gulf. Egmont Key is in the far distance. To the north, a matching picture window looks to the end of the island and beyond to Treasure Island, all the way to Clearwater in the far distance. The Gulf-front balcony spans the entirety of the beachfront. The pictures, though fabulous, do not do the experience justice. Even the video falls short of the breathtaking view in person. Imagine if you were living in the Owners Suite on a ultra-luxurious cruise. The view from the penthouse would be like the mirror image as the ship approaches a beautiful island, complete with fine, whisper-white sand and warm waters sparkling! That aptly describes the view whether you stand at the western windows or step out to the balcony to marvel at your good fortune as you enjoy that view for a fleeting moment... This, however, is a moment that can be extended with the stroke of a pen! This coveted unit has only changed hands twice. The Developer, William Axelrod, retained it as his private residence for many years and then sold it to friend, the former mayor of St. Petersburg and Congressman, Bill Cramer and his wife. Finally in 2015, his widow sold the unit to her neighbor of some 35-years. The Penthouse subsequently underwent an extensive remodel, taken down to the very studs and reimagined and built, to the impeccable current standards you see now. It features impact-resistant windows, beautiful travertine floors, smooth finish walls and superior cabinetry and fixtures. The two bedrooms, (which could easily be converted to three, which was the original floor plan,) each enjoy an ensuite full bath and a private balcony sporting fabulous views of the beach and bay. The plumbing and electrical systems were updated during the renovation and wood behind the walls was replaced with metal. No expense was spared. Indeed, the current owner was unhappy with the original floor installation and had it removed and redone to his discerning standards! The Seller will consider selling fully furnished.
