First time ever offered. Welcome to one of the most desirable residences in Gulf Breeze at Vanderbilt. This eighth-floor end unit features the coveted 01 floor plan, prized for its exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and direct waterfront setting along Vanderbilt Channel. Owned by the original purchasers—who bought directly from the developer and could have selected any unit in the entire community—this residence has never been rented and has been thoughtfully cared for since day one. With dual balconies, sixteen sliders, and an elevated vantage point, this condo offers expansive views of the wide channel and marina, frequent sightings of dolphins and coastal wildlife, and beautiful Gulf views from its higher-floor position. The spacious interior lives comfortably with a bright, open feel and year-round enjoyment of the surrounding water and preserve scenery. The second balcony has been enclosed with sliding glass to create an additional flexible living space, unique to only a handful of units. Tile and wood floors run throughout, and the layout provides ideal separation for owners and guests. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and the unit has been well maintained with meaningful mechanical improvements. Gulf Breeze at Vanderbilt is a gated beach community known for its exceptional location and full-time onsite manager. From this residence, Vanderbilt Beach and Delnor Wiggins State Park are only a short walk away, offering effortless access to world-class sand, sunsets, and outdoor enjoyment. An under-building garage space is available for separate purchase and conveys first to the buyer before being offered to residents on the waitlist. Boat docks and lifts may also be available for separate purchase from other owners within Gulf Breeze at Vanderbilt. Opportunities to own an upper-floor 01 residence, especially one with this level of ownership history and care, are extremely rare. Schedule your showing to experience this remarkable setting and waterfront lifestyle.
