OLD ORCHARD BEACH – A very few minutes’ walk to the seven miles of sand and sea that make this oceanfront town so desirable, here’s a sweet, single-level condominium in tiptop condition and ready to welcome year-round new owners, or people seeking a seasonal getaway.

Built in 1985, the unit has been thoroughly updated in recent years, including even the exterior’s gray shingles, and all windows. In 2015 a Rinnai heater, augmenting (or replacing) electric heat was added.

Aesthetically, nothing about the condo says “1980s.” The main living area is open-concept, and the remodeled kitchen features new appliances, quartz counters including a work/dining island; cool, tile backsplashes; a pantry, and maple cabinetry. Near the dining area of the large living room, sliders open to a private back deck (composite) that receives excellent afternoon and evening light.

New tile, a granite vanity, and stacked laundry in an enclosure are among the full bath’s updates. Both bedrooms are good-sized and have double closets, and ceiling fans, as does the living room.

Parking is for two vehicles, plus guests. Weekly rentals are allowed at Ocean Park Meadow, a 94-unit, 10.4-acre complex managed by a company that is known for its scrupulous maintenance.

Amenities include a clubhouse that has a lagoon-shaped, saltwater inground pool, a community room with a kitchen and a brick, gas fireplace, and a gym with treadmills, weight machines and free weights. There are two hard tennis courts, and two ponds with fountains, whose wooden bridges you will cross when strolling to the beach.
