5500 Ocean Shore Boulevard, Unit UT23Ormond Beach, FL 32176Price: $99,900

There's something special about having the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. At Kingston Shores, that's not just a figure of speech. The community stretches from the ocean side of A1A all the way to John Anderson Drive along the Halifax River, creating a little slice of the Florida lifestyle that's increasingly hard to duplicate. And Unit 23 may be one of the more compelling ways to enjoy it. This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo has already undergone an extensive professional renovation, meaning much of the work is behind you. Step inside to updated flooring throughout, a beautifully refreshed kitchen with granite countertops, newer cabinetry, tile backsplash and premium-grade appliances, along with updated bathrooms and a jetted tub. But the improvements go well beyond what you can see. A newer electrical panel, updated supply water lines, mostly updated wiring with LED lighting, tankless water heater, newer interior doors and hardware, and an updated A/C system with newer ductwork have all been part of the transformation. Then there's the little bonus waiting upstairs. Look out from the primary bedroom and you'll catch a glimpse of the Atlantic. We're not going to call it panoramic oceanfront, because it isn't. But there's something pretty great about looking out your bedroom window and seeing blue water in the distance. Outside your door, the Kingston Shores lifestyle takes over. Enjoy THREE community swimming pools, access to the no-drive beach, and a community positioned between two incredible bodies of water. Unit 23 also brings a strong rental history to the table, and with 30-day minimum rentals permitted, there's flexibility for those looking for more than just a personal beach retreat. And the story isn't finished. Kingston Shores has additional improvements planned, including concrete restoration and new sliding glass doors. Pair those improvements with everything that has already been completed inside Unit 23, and you have an opportunity to own an updated condo while the property around it continues its own transformation. Full-time home, Florida escape or income-producing getaway, Unit 23 offers a combination that's tough to reproduce: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, extensive updates, three pools, rental flexibility and a community stretching from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal. Much of the work is already behind you. The water is waiting. And some of the best parts of the story may still be ahead.
