About This Property

UNDER CONTRACT. The minute you drive up the elegant brick driveway, past the manned security gate and through the large glass doors, you view the large and impressive lobby and behind it the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Gulf. Welcome to L'Elegance on Lido key, one of the most desirable residences in Sarasota, and to your dream coastal escape. Open the front door of this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath Gulf-front condo with a spacious den and delight in panoramic views of the Gulf through floor-to-ceiling, sliding-glass doors in 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, neutral hues 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. The Unit is equipped with an in-unit laundry room, walk-in closets in each of the two bedrooms and a flexible third room that can serve as a den, office or child's bedroom, all of which make everyday living here is as effortless as it is beautiful. Step outside any room and marvel at the 48x8 foot Gulf-front balcony-large enough for both a dining table and a separate seating area-perfect for al fresco meals, morning coffee, or a cocktail party with friends to enjoy an unbeatable view of the sunset. The condo comes mostly furnished, complete with dishes, kitchen utensils, cleaning and hardware equipment, linens, and towels-making your move-in a breeze. Just bring your suitcase and start enjoying the ultimate beachfront lifestyle. The building is known for its resort-style amenities, including a beachfront lap pool, a children's wading pool, an adult hot tub, and a wooden pier providing easy access to the beach. 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 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 John Ringling 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.
