SUNRISE OVER THE INTRACOASTAL. SUNSET OVER THE GULF. Residence 1704 at Meridian on Sand Key-the jewel of Sand Key-offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both from one extraordinary 17th-floor residence. With 2,288 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2½ baths and east- and west-facing balconies, this home delivers sweeping water views in both directions. Begin your morning watching the sunrise over the Intracoastal and Clearwater skyline. End the day with a front-row seat to a spectacular Gulf sunset. Two balconies. Two completely different views. One remarkable coastal home. Inside, the spacious floor plan feels more like a private residence than a typical beach condo. The open kitchen flows into a comfortable family room, while generous living and dining areas create plenty of space to entertain, relax and enjoy the views. Large windows and sliding glass doors keep the water and sky constantly in sight. The home features granite surfaces, custom cabinetry, architectural molding, recessed lighting, bamboo, tile and carpet flooring, newer HVAC with UV light (2021) and water heater (2023), Whirlpool appliances and a water-leak detection system. Bedroom three is currently designed as an elegant home office with custom built-ins on two walls and a Murphy bed, allowing it to transition easily from workspace to guest suite. And then there is Meridian itself. Directly on the Gulf, Meridian is a beautifully maintained and professionally managed luxury community with an onsite Property Manager, full-time Concierge, Maintenance Staff, Cleaning Staff and 24/7 gated security. The building is equipped with a sprinkler system throughout and offers an exceptional collection of amenities, including a heated Gulf-front pool and spa, fitness center, sauna and steam room, billiards, library, outdoor grilling areas, a clay tennis court, and secured resident-only beach access. Meridian has also earned the FCCA Gold Rating from the Florida Community Certification Association. FCCA states that a Gold Rating reflects very strong financial stability and operational resilience, including disciplined reserve funding and planning, sustainable operating results, insurance preparedness and strong governance. Adding even more value, the building is scheduled to be repainted and balcony updates completed, with these improvements included in the price. This is more than a beautiful Gulf-front condominium. It is the combination luxury buyers search for and rarely find: high-floor views, two-sided outdoor living, resort-style amenities, professional onsite management, private beach access and the confidence of a Gold-rated community.
