Property Description

Spectacular transformations from top-to-bottom welcome you to this completely renovated ninth-floor residence at Lido Beach Club; showcasing a refined, modern interior while framing sweeping Gulf-to-bay views from nearly every room. Located at 1212 Benjamin Franklin Drive, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence offers 1,400+ square feet of interior space and an open layout designed to maximize light, sightlines, and indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you enter, the reimagined floor plan creates a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Expanses of impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors frame panoramic vistas of the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, and the city skyline beyond. Tile flooring runs throughout, reinforcing the clean, coastal aesthetic and low-maintenance appeal. The updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, solid wood custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, tile backsplash, and a wine refrigerator. Pendant lighting and sleek finishes elevate the space while maintaining functionality for everyday living and entertaining. The living room opens directly to the elongated terrace, where east-facing exposure delivers beautiful morning light and dual water views. Both bedrooms also feature terrace access, extending the living space outdoors and offering private vantage points to enjoy sunrise skies and shimmering Gulf waters. The primary suite is positioned on the north side for privacy and features a walk-in closet and a renovated bath with marble counters, updated vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower. The south-side guest bedroom, currently arranged as a den with custom built-ins and a planning desk, includes sliding glass door access to the terrace and an updated bath (2023). The split-bedroom configuration enhances privacy for residents and guests alike. Additional highlights include impact glass throughout, built-in features, high ceilings, central air (replaced in 2020), newer water heater (2020), and covered assigned parking. Lido Beach Club offers a secure, beachfront lifestyle with a private lobby entrance and direct access to Gulf shores. Each residence includes a private storage locker located on the unit floor, additional exterior storage space, and access to a convenient community laundry room on every level. The pavered pool deck surrounds a heated swimming pool and provides an inviting setting for relaxing or gathering with friends. Residents enjoy two grilling stations and a beachside fire pit area with seating—ideal for sunset evenings along the Gulf. Recreational amenities include a pickleball court, a game room with ping pong and billiards, a well-equipped fitness center, library, club room with catering kitchen, social room, and a dedicated meeting room for community events. Located minutes from St. Armands Circle, residents enjoy world-class shopping, waterfront dining, and vibrant cafés. Downtown Sarasota is just over the bridge, offering the Sarasota Opera House, Florida Studio Theatre, Selby Gardens, Marina Jack, and The Bay Park. Whether enjoying morning walks along the sand, boating on Sarasota Bay, or evenings in the city, this ninth-floor Lido Beach residence delivers exceptional coastal living with expansive water views and move-in ready comfort.
