I think it was more than 15 years ago, two ladies from my old office, both well versed in the floor plans of 440 West educated me on the pros of the true 1,264 sq ft split plan within this venerable South Clearwater Beach compound. I’m well accustomed to jaw dropping views, but what I encountered the other day left me speechless, and enticed me to do what I never do: Sit down and take it all in. Precisely where one sits in the living room is where Clearwater Pass ends, and the open waters of The Gulf of Mexico offer you far west horizon panoramas that might just make you pause, and reflect. Majestically poised, and perfectly cantilevered over an unobstructed swath of sun, and sea, the exposures are beyond measure. This aforementioned split, known as an “06” within the 450 tower provides these water views from every vantage point contained within. Both the primary and secondary bedrooms and living room are parallel, and direct to the Gulf. Once on the terrace you enjoy the long shoreline view of Sand Key with its residential towers in the distance. Endless sunsets aside, the interiors lend toward a cool aesthetic where appointments of knockdown textured ceilings and walls, extended tile flooring, custom wood cabinetry, stone counters, superior appliances and wood, tile and stone encased baths lie within. STRUCTURALLY ENHANCED WITH 2.5 YR. OLD WINDOWS AND SLIDERS.Have we addressed the parking? AN UNDER BUILDING PARKING SPACE CONVEYS IN THE SALE OF 506, FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE KNOW, THE RARITY OF THAT SPACE IS, WELL QUITE RARE. As for 440 itself, well you’re steps away from the #1 ranked beach within the United States, it’s legendary beach walk, Pier 60, an infinite number of casual and fine dining spots, Island shopping, and a short walk to the landmarked Sand Key Park. Let’s sit a spell, and take it all in.
