About This Property

Back on the market! Previous contract was canceled before any inspections were completed, presenting a great opportunity for the next buyer. Rare private open-air courtyard patio with breathtaking Gulf and beach views! One of only a select handful of residences within Lido Surf & Sand to offer this highly sought-after outdoor living space, this furnished 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath beachfront condominium delivers a lifestyle opportunity rarely available on Lido Key. Whether enjoying your morning coffee while watching the waves roll in or relaxing at sunset with the sound of the Gulf in the background, the expansive patio creates an outdoor experience that few condominium residences can match. Inside, the residence features a bright and inviting floor plan with updated flooring, spacious living and dining areas, abundant natural light, and beautiful water views. Offered furnished, the condo is ready to enjoy immediately as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment property. Offered furnished and with a history of seasonal rental demand, the property also presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a beachside investment, seasonal residence, or personal coastal retreat. Lido Surf & Sand is a premier Gulf-front community offering residents an exceptional collection of amenities, including private beach access, a beachfront heated pool and spa overlooking the Gulf, fitness center, covered parking, private storage, bicycle storage, elevators, grilling areas, shuffleboard courts, beautifully maintained walking paths and sidewalks, multiple gathering and entertaining spaces, on-site property management, and secure building access. The location is equally impressive. Situated just moments from world-famous St. Armands Circle, residents enjoy convenient access to an incredible selection of restaurants, boutique shopping, cafes, galleries, and year-round events. Downtown Sarasota, Marina Jack, cultural attractions, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport are all within easy reach. Opportunities to own one of the community's rare patio residences are exceptionally limited. Combining beachfront living, spectacular Gulf views, resort-style amenities, strong rental appeal, and an unbeatable location near St. Armands Circle, this is coastal Florida living at its finest.
