1200 GULF BOULEVARD 1603 Meridian on Sand Key – A Crown Jewel of Gulfside Living. Perched on the 16th floor, Residence 1603 at the prestigious Meridian on Sand Key embodies the pinnacle of refined coastal living. This Gulf-front sanctuary unites elegance, comfort, and resort-inspired amenities, offering a lifestyle beyond compare on Florida’s famed shoreline. From the moment of arrival, Meridian’s distinction is unmistakable: its commanding Gulfside presence, immaculate grounds, and dedicated staff set a standard of excellence. With 24-hour gated security, on-site concierge, professional management, and attentive maintenance teams, every detail of daily life is elevated to effortless ease. Within its walls, this expansive 2, 530-square-foot residence—one of the community’s most generous floor plans—reveals a design that is as functional as it is sophisticated. Featuring three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and a versatile split layout, the home provides both privacy and flow. Two of the three bedrooms enjoy ensuite accommodations, while a flexible bonus family room enhances livability. The open living and dining areas are illuminated by a dramatic wall of sliders framing unobstructed Gulf vistas. In the dining area, custom wood built-ins add refinement and function, ideal for showcasing heirlooms or concealing essentials with discreet elegance. Dual balconies to the east and west create a rare symmetry: awaken to golden sunrises over the Intracoastal and retire to breathtaking Gulf sunsets. Every room embraces a water view, enveloping the residence in a seamless connection with its natural surroundings. The Meridian lifestyle extends well beyond the residence itself. Resort-caliber amenities include a heated pool and spa framed by lush landscaping, ten private cabanas, a pavilion with dual gas grills, clay tennis court, and a private walkway leading directly to the powdery sands of the Gulf. Indoors, an array of curated spaces awaits: the Sunset Room with its grand piano, wet bar, and catering kitchen; a serene, lofted 2nd floor library; a card room where weekly and monthly gatherings occur, a billiards room for friendly competition; a conference room for business needs; and a fully equipped fitness center complete with sauna and steam rooms. Beyond the gates, Sand Key and Clearwater Beach beckon with premier dining, boutique shopping, and endless outdoor pursuits. Dine waterfront at the iconic Columbia Restaurant, Marriott’s Watercolour Grill or Backwaters just across the street, set sail from the Clearwater Sailing Center, or explore the natural beauty of Sand Key Park. This prime location also provides easy access to international airports, professional sports venues, world-class music, museums, and cultural experiences that enrich the Gulf Coast lifestyle. Residence 1603 at Meridian is more than a home—it is an invitation to live a life defined by elegance, leisure, and the timeless beauty of Gulf Coast living.
