About 161 S Polk Drive

In a world where more is usually never enough……. 161 S. Polk Drive is MORE and JUST ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING YOUR DREAMS ARE MADE OF! Positioned waterfront between St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach, you can start your day walking just one block to put your toes in the sand and soak up the morning sun and then head straight to your favorite lunch spot on the circle. Upon returning home, take up lounging in the split-level, salt water pool and relax to the sounds of the water as it crests the infinity edge OR you can choose one of the many decks, from rooftop on down, canal to Gulf, to savor the sun, the breeze, the views and the peacefulness all around you. This privately gated, coastal contemporary home encompasses over 4,600 square feet of interior living space with an open plan from living to dining to kitchen and on to the outdoor patio with a full wall of pocketing sliders. The acacia wood floor will be the first to grab your eye, but you will then be drawn to the unlimited other features of this home. From the many windows offering abundant natural light, to the built-ins, wet bars, oversized kitchen island, 3 en-suite bedrooms all with private balconies (includes first and 2nd floor owner suites), elevator, outdoors showers, sauna, ‘hidden’ oversized laundry room with 2 sets of washers and dryers, oversized boat dock with 2 lifts……. Shall I go on?? The well thought out configuration of this home rationalizes JUST ENOUGH of comfortably elegant entertaining mixed with intimate peace and privacy. Recent improvements include A/C handlers and compressors, tankless water heater and pump, flat tile roof decking, refinished exterior wood railings, pool pumps and actuators, in-ground drainage system, refreshed landscaping, exterior pressure washing, recent elevator service completed
