LOW-FLOOR GULF VIEWS | END-UNIT POSITION | WRAPAROUND BALCONY
Laketown Wharf Unit 501 | Panama City Beach, FL - Three-bedroom plus bunk room, end unit with a rare position within the building.
Located on the fifth floor, this unit represents the first level in Laketown Wharf where Gulf views begin while still maintaining a lower-floor elevation. Positioned on the southeast end of the building, with convenient access to the elevators and owners parking garage, but away from the heavy foot traffic areas.
The wraparound balcony overlooks the elevated ''kiddie pool'' deck on top of the south parking garage, featuring water features, lounge seating, and an active amenity area.
The balcony offers multiple access points, including the living area, primary suite, and a rare full door from one of the guest bedrooms--an uncommon feature within Laketown Wharf, primarily found in the first stack of the building. One section of the balcony remains shaded during ALL portions of the day and benefits from consistent airflow, creating a comfortable outdoor space for those who prefer to stay out of direct sun exposure.
The kitchen features updated recessed lighting, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Coastal furnishings complement the interior, with tile and LVP flooring throughout for durability and ease of maintenance, along with a stackable washer and dryer.
