5603 80th Street N, Unit 516St Petersburg, FL 33709Price: $149,900

Welcome to The Five Towns Penthouse at Fordham... because that's exactly what it is, and it's about time someone said so out loud. Unit 516 sits on the top floor of the Fordham Building, a 1,365-square-foot, corner-positioned, light-drenched, nobody-above-you sanctuary that carries every bit of penthouse energy at a price that will make your financial advisor smile and your friends quietly jealous. With two generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, dual exposures flooding the space with natural light from morning to golden hour, and the largest 2-bedroom floor plan in the building, The Five Towns Penthouse at Fordham isn't just a condo, it's the crown of the community, and it has been waiting patiently for someone who knows the difference. It comes furnished and it is vacant and ready for you right now, which means the only thing standing between you and waking up on the top floor of one of St. Petersburg's most beloved active adult communities is a closing date. And speaking of the community, Five Towns is not your grandmother's retirement complex, unless your grandmother had access to six pools (four heated year-round), two clubhouses, a fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball, shuffleboard tournaments that border on legendary, billiards, libraries, card rooms, walking paths winding through over acres of lush landscaping, tranquil ponds, and a social calendar so full you'll need to actually schedule your relaxation. The location completes the picture beautifully Publix, Target, Total Wine, and Kohl's are minutes away, St. Pete Beach is a ten-minute drive, downtown St. Petersburg's world-class waterfront parks, galleries, and restaurants are just down the road, and St. Petersburg General Hospital sits less than three miles away for the moments life insists on a contingency plan. The Five Towns Penthouse at Fordham is the rare listing that doesn't ask you to sacrifice, settle, or pretend that "cozy" is a selling point. It asks only one thing, that you recognize a good thing when you're standing in it.
