50 SE Ocean Boulevard #302

Fully Updated Penthouse-Level Residence beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom -- the largest of only five private condos in the landmark Esplanade building in downtown Stuart. With private residential lobby and elevator access, high ceilings, crown molding, real wood floors, a gourmet kitchen, beautiful built-ins, and a dedicated office space, it has been freshly painted with a new roof and all mechanical systems recently updated -- so you can enjoy carefree, low-maintenance living from day one. Imagine waking up in the heart of the Sailfish Capital of the World and stepping onto your expansive covered balcony to the sounds of the St. Lucie River and the easy rhythm of coastal life. This rare top-floor home places you at the center of one of Florida's most authentic waterfront communities -- where the boating lifestyle isn't just something you do on weekends, it's part of everyday living. From your front-row perch above Confusion Corner, you're moments from world-class fishing grounds and direct ocean access via the St. Lucie Inlet. Launch your boat in the morning and be offshore chasing sailfish, mahi, or kingfish by midday. In the evening, cruise back in for dinner at a marina-front restaurant or anchor at a sandbar with friends. Hutchinson Island's pristine, uncrowded beaches are just a short drive away -- perfect for sunrise walks, shelling, swimming, or simply soaking in the Atlantic breeze. This is the easy coastal life done right: mornings on the Riverwalk with coffee in hand, afternoons exploring historic downtown boutiques and galleries, and evenings enjoying live music at Rock'n Riverwalk or dinner at Sailor's Return. The acclaimed Elliott Museum and Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center are nearby for days when you want a little culture with your coastal views. And when you're ready for the energy of a bigger city, the upcoming Brightline high-speed rail station in downtown Stuart will offer convenient, car-free access to Miami and Orlando -- giving you the freedom to live the relaxed Stuart lifestyle while staying connected to work, events, or weekend getaways in South Florida and beyond. The large covered balcony delivers panoramic views of historic downtown Stuart with distant glimpses of the St. Lucie River -- the perfect spot to watch the daily waterfront activity or gather friends for the spectacular Fourth of July fireworks display over the river during America's 250th celebration. Healthcare peace of mind is right nearby with the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital just minutes away. The entire building features impact glass and a fire sprinkler system, and two covered parking spaces add to the convenience. Whether you're an avid boater, a beach lover, or someone who simply wants the authentic Old Florida coastal lifestyle with modern connectivity, this rare penthouse-level residence offers the best of both worlds.
