About this home

****There is nothing left to do. Nothing to imagine. Completed in 2022, everything has been upgraded and transformed into the most modern luxury. This high-floor corner residence on Lido Beach in the Key South Tower building has been completely transformed—from ceilings to floors—into a home where every high-end creature comfort is already in place and water views unfold from every window. The building is so modern, so perfectly updated and completed that it even has its own hurricane/surge protection system surrounding the building-- unique and impressive. You must see this condo's extraordinary views in day and at night!!! ****Panoramic vistas stretch across the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, the Ringling Bridge, and downtown Sarasota, creating a constantly shifting backdrop of light, water, and skyline. Set within a Lido Beach building that has already been elevated to the highest modern building standards, this residence offers peace of mind. The HOA’s abundant reserves reinforce the sense of security -- owners love living here. Inside, porcelain tile flows throughout, complemented by all-new ceilings and modern lighting that set a sophisticated, contemporary tone. ****The kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring abundant new wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new appliances—designed for everything from casual mornings to elevated entertaining. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, framed by water views and finished with the finest luxury tile. It offers a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and thoughtful storage. The guest suite is equally impressive, with new tile, a walk-in closet, and beautiful views of the Intracoastal Waterway and downtown Sarasota. Spacious enough for a king bed, it also features its own walk-in shower, making it ideal for guests who appreciate comfort and privacy. ****Beyond the residence, Key Tower South has been fully reimagined, with the lobby and common areas completely renovated in 2025. Residents enjoy 220 feet of private Gulf frontage, a heated beachfront pool, expansive sundeck, direct beach access, saunas, a fitness room, library, bike storage, and on-site management—resort-level amenities without the crowds. ****This is not simply a condo. It is a fully realized beachfront lifestyle—elegant, effortless, and complete. Call now for a private showing. Prefer to experience it from afar? Drone footage and immersive fly-throughs are available.
