Wake up to sun-washed water views in this beautifully renovated 2BR/2BA at Monterey House, perched directly on the Highland Beach barrier island with deeded beach access just steps across the street. Unit 509 lives large, opening into a sweeping living and dining space that stretches toward a wall of glass and a French door leading out to your own private balcony, where the intracoastal waterway and skyline unfold over the treetops. The kitchen is where this home truly shines. Espresso and white frosted-glass flat-panel cabinetry pairs with granite counters and a full stone linear backsplash, while stainless appliances, including a Frigidaire Professional range, complete the chef-caliber feel. A pass-through window connects the kitchen to the dining room, so whoever's cooking never misses a moment of the conversation. Polished tile greets you at the entry, ceiling fans keep every room comfortable, and generous closets offer the storage today's buyers look for. The layout is ready for your finishing touches, taking new paint and flooring beautifully if you want to add your own personal stamp. And with the building's major work already complete, engineering, concrete restoration, and impact glass all behind it, you can move in with confidence and simply start enjoying the island life.
