Property Description


1.73 Acres Lot
Built in 1970
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Lido Beach residence with expansive front-row views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota’s city skyline and golden sunrises. Experience the best of beachside living – without the heat! This inviting condo offers all the perks of a beach-front address, plus a unique advantage: its orientation keeps your space refreshingly cool, even on the sunniest Sarasota afternoons. Enjoy relaxing in comfort after a day at the beach, where cool comfort meets coastal charm. This expansive 2,035-square-foot residence has two bedrooms, two baths, a versatile den and a stylish open floor plan. The serene coastal palette, highlighted by seafoam blue walls and engineered hardwood floors, sets a tranquil tone throughout the home. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly from a solid wood and granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a built-in desk, into a gracious dining space anchored by a dry bar. An enclosed Florida room provides an additional light-filled retreat. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a sunroom, dual walk-in closets and an en-suite bath. A separate guest suite with its walk-in closet ensures space for family and friends. Additional features include impact windows throughout, two coat closets in the foyer, and two hallway storage closets. A shared utility room on the floor has an assigned storage locker, as well as a large-capacity washer and dryer. If you prefer to have in-home laundry, in-unit appliances are allowed. The first-floor community space was remodeled in 2025 and features lobby, fitness room, library and social room with kitchen for entertaining. First-floor amenities also include shower/saunas and bike rack storage. The beach-side pool area features an expansive deck for enjoying the Gulf-front location. Between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, Key Towers South sits on a prime piece of waterfront on south Lido Key. Lido Beach is your backyard. Just a quarter mile south is South Lido Key Park with outdoor activities and mangrove tunnels. One mile north is world-renowned St. Armands Circle with posh shopping, dining and nightlife. And four miles over the iconic Ringling Bridge is downtown Sarasota. The free Sarasota Bay Runner trolley takes you from south Lido to downtown Sarasota with multiple stops along the way.
