About this home
Live each day surrounded by blue skies, turquoise Gulf waters and Sarasota’s celebrated sunsets. Tucked at the south end of Lido Key, this beautifully remodeled residence offers a relaxed beachfront setting just moments from St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. The open floor plan is bright and welcoming, with contemporary finishes and a layout designed to make the most of natural light. The remodeled kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, quartz countertops and a clean, coastal-modern style. The spacious bedroom opens to the covered balcony, and includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, creating a comfortable private retreat. Gulf views from the balcony bring added beauty to daily living and enduring appeal to this beachside home. Climate-controlled storage and one covered parking space add convenience. Lido Beach Club is a professionally managed community with amenities that enhance the beachfront experience, including a heated pool with tiki seating areas, gated beach access, serenity garden, fitness room and social room for private gatherings. Excellent location with the beach at your backyard, South Lido Park nature preserve across the road, the Ritz Tiki Beach Bar next door, one mile to world-famous St. Armands Circle, and only four miles to downtown Sarasota. Ride the complimentary Lido Shuttle to and from St. Armands Circle, or the Sarasota Bay Runner trolley to downtown destinations. Life is good at the beach!
