Property Description

Spectacular direct beach and island views illuminate the laid-back Lido Key lifestyle in this 6th-floor St Armands Towers North condo, with its legendary location just across from Lido Beach, one block from St Armands Circle boutiques, galleries, spas, and restaurants, and around the corner from the Free Trolley stop to Sarasota’s cultural epicenter downtown. This 1,389 sq ft condo is perfect for a year-round residence, or seasonal beach retreat. Possibilities abound with an open floorplan and extended living area that opens the space with a disappearing wall, making an optional 2nd bedroom ideal for occasional guests. A private balcony extends along the entire length on one side of the residence, bringing the outdoors in and maximizing the tropical breezes and sparkling water views. The spacious primary bedroom is the ultimate seaside retreat with an ensuite bathroom and fabulous direct beach views to the west, as well as panoramic northern views of the island and bay.
