NESTLED ALONG THE EAST COAST of Central Florida, 21 Riverside is a modern condominium that is surrounded by the echoes of the prosperous past. Located in the Historic Cocoa Village, the condominium offers a stunning river- front penthouse that overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway and provides 180-degree views of the Indian River, the Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Village and Merritt Island.

Imagine witnessing history-making launches from your 10th-floor wraparound balcony or daydreaming about the many carefree cruise ships entering and leaving Port Canaveral. It is not easy to find places that willingly embrace the past while observing the future, but 21 Riverside in Historic Cocoa Village pulls it off with élan.

This spacious penthouse with 10-foot ceilings offers a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops and a butler’s pantry that includes
additional appliances such as a wine cooler, extra refrigerator and dishwasher. The three bathrooms are luxurious, and hardwood, carpet and marble tile flooring is throughout the residence.

Whitley Bay Condominiums appear to have it all—spacious, elegant floor plans, desirable amenities and outstanding views.

“Residents like being able to walk across the street and have a cup of coffee or a nice dinner at one of the fine restaurants or cafes,” Petersen continues. “It’s a very charming look into yesteryear. The shopkeepers are friendly. There is even a turn-of-the-century style hardware store where you can buy a nail and be treated as though you bought a Rolls Royce.”

The gated community of Island Pointe has an array of amenities, including a recreation center with an exercise room and sauna, a heated pool with a spa, and tennis and basketball courts.

Island Pointe’s condominium units range from 2,000 to 2,500 square feet, feature three bedrooms, two baths and an open floor plan. All the modern amenities are available, and every building will have elevator access to private garages.
