THE ADMIRAL'S WALK - LOOKING NORTH (see photo)THE ADMIRAL'S WALK - APARTMENT 16-CThis apartment is located on the 16th floor of The Admirals Walk, an 18-floor condominium at 4545 North Ocean Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida, 33433, just along the ocean road also referred to as A1A, and slightly north of Spanish River Boulevard. Just south of the Boulevard is Spanish River Park (a 5-minute walk from the condo) with enormous sheltering trees, picnic tables and beach access. A bike path on A1A runs north and south along the ocean for miles. In 40 minutes one can reach either the West Palm Beach or Ft. Lauderdale airport, and there is a small airport for private planes located in Boca, about 10 minutes from the condo. Five minutes away by car are restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, etc., yet the building sits squarely at the ocean and gives a feeling of calm and near isolation.There is a feeling of luxury and space in all rooms of this generously proportioned apartment on the 16th floor. Each room allows spacious views of water, including the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as the town of Boca Raton, which lights up at night and presents a magical carpet of lights. There is nothing between the building and the ocean, so your view is unobstructed.This apartment (2,035 sq. ft.) contains a foyer, large living/dining room area, two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, kitchen, security closet, excellent closet and storage space, and three terraces (435 additional sq. ft.). Air conditioning can be adjusted separately between the living room/kitchen area and the two-bedroom area.ENTRANCE FOYER (see photo)The entrance foyer walls are mirrored and the floor is covered in white tile. Its a small elegant space that allows a moment before you or your guests enter the living room. To the left of the foyer is a Powder Room, which includes exquisite Shirle Wagner gold fixtures and hand-painted gold-rimmed sink elegantly in keeping with the subtle black and gold Chinese wall-paper.POWDER ROOM (see photo)Just beyond the Powder Room, and accessible only from it is a good-sized Security Closet, which can be securely locked.On the right as you enter the foyer, you will see a set of double doors that open to reveal a large built-in china closet or dry bar organized by drawers and shelves. LIVING ROOM 18x32 (see photo)The living room is unusually large, with views over the east terrace facing the ocean and over the west terrace facing the waterway, where small vessels often ply their way. Larger vessels and seabirds are frequently seen on the ocean side. Looking down, one can see The Admiral's Walk's private beach, just a few steps from the building, with a totally unobstructed view. The living room/dining area was newly carpeted in pale beige July 2006, as well as re-painted in June 2006 in a similar color, with white trim. During the season, when the temperatures hover around 72 degrees, you can open both sets of sliding doors in the living room to allow a cool breeze to float through. There is wonderful light at all times.MASTER BEDROOM 13.6x18.4 (see 2 photos)The master bedroom has ample room for king-size bed, armoire, chest of drawers, tables, chairs, TV table, etc., without a feeling of clutter, and a view of the Waterway as well as the town. This area was also re-carpeted in near-white and repainted in a complementary off-white, also July 2006. There is a large ceiling fan in this room.MASTER BATH (see 2 photos)The Master Bath includes pale beige marble floors and walls, a dressing room with two sinks set in marble counters on opposite sides of the dressing room, both with crystal and brass fittings. Inside the bathing room, which can be closed off from the dressing room, is both a separate shower stall and a very large oval tub, with space for plants/towels at the foot, as well as a toilet.DRESSING ROOM (see photo)Opposite the sink/makeup area is a long clothes closet for two, with new mirrored folding doors. Other storage in this room includes a huge walk-in closet, plus two smaller closets.DEN/2ND BEDROOM (see photo) 13.6x16Entering the Den through a long hall suitable for bookshelves or a picture gallery, you find a second bath, which includes a marble counter into which is set a sink with brass fittings. The shower stall and toilet are to the left in a separate room with marble walls and floors, accessible through a sliding door. To the right is a large walk-in closet, carpeted in a gold color together with the entire area. The entire area is wallpapered in beige grasscloth, giving it a masculine atmosphere. This room has a view of Boca and access to the south terrace.KITCHEN 12x18 (see photo)White tile floor, dishwasher, new Disposall in stainless steel double sink, new ice-maker in double-door GE refrigerator, washer and drier hidden behind louver doors, electric stove and separate wall oven.
