Ritz-Carlton Beach Club condominiums typically go up in price as they rise in floor level. But Tonna Gruber of Keller William offers a listing at 1300 Ben Franklin Drive with a price tag well below average. “This home is on the 11th floor with 11-foot ceilings, Gulf and city views and a price that would normally fit a residence on the ninth floor,” says Gruber. “At $2.745 million, the residence should be $600,000 more and happens to be the lowest-priced listing on the floor, by $500,000.”

Features include marble and bamboo floors, dual master suites, two full baths and a powder room, separate guest room or office and views from the same balcony that take in the sunrise over Siesta Key and the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Cathedral ceilings and foyer entry beckon you inside to an inviting open-plan interior. Separate dining room and wet bar enhance entertaining, while breakfast bar and eat-in kitchen provide a comfortable beach-house atmosphere. Built in 2006, the condo offers all of the Ritz-Carlton amenities, including resort-style swimming pool, saunas, barbecue and picnic area and fitness center. “The seller is very cooperative and willing to carry up to $750,000 of the costs,” adds Gruber. “Oh, and he’s also offering a $50,000 allowance for paint and fixture upgrades.”
