The Notable Nook

Condo in Florida

My husband and I have many ties to Florida.  I was born in Miami, we lived in Boca Raton for 8 years, but there has been one place that has been in both our lives for most of our married lives, the family condo.  My husband has been coming to this condominium since it was built in 1969.  We've been visiting since we were married and spend many days there with family while we lived in Boca Raton.  We've always dreamed of how we would renovated my in-law's condo if we bought it.  We'll our dreams have come true.  We bought a smaller condo in the building a few years ago, but it was too small for our growing family (daughters getting married, not children!). Last year a larger unit that was in foreclosure became available, and after a month of negotiations we were able to purchase it.  

When you first enter the building, it may not seem that the investment was very sound, but you must first see the views:

They cannot be beat!  Ocean front. Period.  Steps from the pool and a few more to the ocean, and in Palm Beach.  The Palm Beach.  

In future posts I will offer more information about the area, but I first thought I'd show you how our new place looked in it's prime.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Let's just say that the tile, countertops and floors were original.  This is how the condo was shown when listed, but this is what we found when we purchased it.
