LAKEVIEW CONDO

Presiding from the head of Lake Maria Sanchez since the late 1880s, this Flagler era building has led an interesting life. Originally the servants’ quarters for those who worked at Henry Flagler’s famed hotels, in the 1940s it became the Lakeview Apartments and remained a favorite place to live for many happy decades. Fast forward to 2005, an extensive renovation and the 12 Lakeview Condos arrived on the downtown scene. Front and center on the lakeside, #12 is the most coveted one of all.

With an ambiance more like a NYC apartment on the upper east side, this 2nd-story sunlit flat lives very comfortably making intelligent use of all the space. A covered porch lakeside is ripe for morning coffee, evening cocktails and a cozy al fresco dinner for 4. Opening to the fully equipped galley kitchen, we promise your culinary muse will be inspired. The dining room is illuminated by a fantastic contemporary chandelier – a conversation starter every time. With a wall of custom built-ins flanking the living room window, there’s ample room to display art, store books and magazines and have your flat screen ready for movie night. Tucked off the living room, the sun room is presently an office where it’s easy to get distracted by the water birds looking for a snack on the banks of the lake. This cozy nest can accommodate a daybed for afternoon naps or overnight guests. A stack washer/dryer is hidden in a corner closet.

A very generous master is just across the hall from the bathroom. Measuring 17′ x 12′, there is an alcove perfect for a micro-office, great wall space for furniture placement and room for a sitting area, armoires and bureaus. Each condo has an interior secured lobby entrance and an exterior one leading to the porch. A dedicated parking spot is within 20′ feet of this condo.

The location couldn’t be better – within 2-3 blocks you’ll find great restaurants, cultural offerings, grand architecture and the bay front. An ideal getaway and most desirable Airbnb.
