Welcome to your dream coastal escape—this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath Gulf-front condo with a spacious den offers panoramic views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters from every room. Perched on the third floor, this residence captures the beauty of swaying palm trees, soft white sand, and miles of mesmerizing sea—an ever-changing canvas of sun and sky.
The interior has been completely and thoughtfully updated in soft, natural neutrals that echo the surrounding beachscape. Sleek tile flooring runs throughout, enhancing the serene, airy palette. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and opened up, allowing the captivating view to extend seamlessly through the main living space. With an in-unit laundry room and a well-designed layout, everyday living here is as effortless as it is beautiful.
Step outside to an oversized Gulf-front balcony—large enough for both a dining table and a separate seating area—perfect for al fresco meals, morning coffee, or unwinding with a sunset backdrop. It’s a true extension of your living space, offering fresh breezes, soothing sounds of the surf, and unbeatable scenery.
The condo comes mostly furnished, complete with dishes, linens, and towels, making your move-in twice as easy—just bring your suitcase and start enjoying the ultimate beachfront lifestyle. Located in L’Elegance on Lido Key—one of the most desirable addresses in the area—this residence offers more than just a home; it provides an elevated lifestyle. The building is known for its resort-style amenities, including a beachfront lap pool, a wading pool, and a hot tub perfect for unwinding. A state-of-the-art fitness center is complemented by luxurious locker rooms with saunas, while tennis enthusiasts will appreciate access to the only two Har-Tru tennis courts on Lido Key. Additional offerings include a card and billiards room, 24/7 gated security, and secure underground parking, ensuring peace of mind and convenience. For nature lovers and adventurers, South Lido Nature Park is located just behind the building. This hidden gem offers peaceful walking trails, direct beach access, and the unforgettable experience of kayaking through lush mangrove tunnels, where you can spot native wildlife and take in the untouched beauty of Florida’s coastline.
Just steps away, the vibrant energy of St. Armands Circle awaits with its upscale boutiques, fine dining, and a calendar full of art shows and lively events. A short drive over the bridge takes you into the heart of downtown Sarasota, where more exceptional restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions complete the experience.
This rare opportunity blends sophistication and tranquility in a truly breathtaking Gulf-front setting. Discover the pinnacle of coastal living and experience life at L’Elegance—where every day feels like a vacation.
