About this home
Coastal ease meets everyday convenience in this ground-floor retreat on Lido Key—just steps to the sand with beach access right across the street. Shade trees protect a private, fenced lanai paved in classic red brick; triple sliders open from the Florida room so indoor and outdoor living flow as one. Accordion shutters allow quiet separation when desired, or open wide to create an airy great room for gathering. The kitchen carries a fresh, coastal-meets-club vibe in its countertops and invites company to linger at a breakfast bar that comfortably seats three. A generous dining area, framed by floor-to-ceiling bead board, adds character rarely found today. The split plan enhances privacy: the north-facing primary suite avoids harsh morning sun and features a spacious walk-through closet to an updated bath with full shower, while the guest bedroom sits at the opposite end of the home. Live like you’re on vacation—pop over to the Lido Beach Resort, wander down to the Lido Pavilion to socialize, then head to St. Armands Circle for dinner and boutique shopping. Love the outdoors? Enjoy bike lanes along Benjamin Franklin Dr. and trails through both North and South Lido Parks. Whether you’re escaping for the season or sneaking away for the weekend, this easy, low-maintenance condo is the perfect lock-and-leave beach haven.
