Enjoy South Lido’s powdery sands, laid-back luxury, and a tranquil atmosphere with immediate access to the shoreline. Plus, you’re just moments from the vibrant shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, making premier dining and shopping always within easy reach. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,280-square-foot residence is offered turnkey furnished in relaxed island style. Hand-painted artisan touches infuse every space with authentic character, while tranquil surroundings set the tone for effortless beachside living, and impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors provide peace of mind—delivering durability, comfort, and style. Relax on your fully enclosed balcony, where the sunrise colors the sky over South Lido Park and Preserve, and gentle breezes complete peaceful sunsets over subtle Gulf views. Thoughtful touches enhance every corner of this residence, from ceramic tile flooring and classic plantation shutters to mirrored walls, space-saving pocket doors, and abundant closet space, including a cedar-lined option. The eat-in kitchen blends function and style, featuring crisp white raised-panel cabinetry with glass display shelving and a coordinating tiled backsplash. A custom ceiling and modern stainless-steel appliances bring a fresh update to the space, while a closet pantry adds valuable storage. Bright walls infuse a lively atmosphere, and a convenient pass-through seamlessly connects the kitchen to the main living area for easy entertaining. The great room has dedicated living and dining spaces that open effortlessly to the balcony, adding nearly 100 square feet of indoor-outdoor living for relaxed gatherings or quiet moments by the coast. The Gulf-side primary bedroom is a bright retreat, featuring an ensuite bath, dual double closets, and custom tilework inspired by the colors of a beach sunset. Designer ceiling fan, sun-kissed walls in cheerful tones, and direct balcony access through sliding glass doors complete this inviting sanctuary. Completing the interior is a comfortable secondary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a guest bath adorned in the same uplifting finishes found throughout the home. Generous closet space offers versatility to meet your needs, with the option to incorporate a private laundry for added comfort and convenience. The residence also includes deeded storage and assigned one-car garage parking. Lido Harbor Towers is nestled directly on the sands of Lido Key, just south of the Ritz Carlton Beach Club. Wake each day to the fresh scent of sea air and enjoy sun-soaked moments by the seaside pool, expansive sun deck, and direct beach access. This charming high-rise features inviting amenities, including a club room with a full kitchen for gatherings, a beautifully renovated lobby, common fourth-floor laundry, BBQ area, bike and kayak storage, guest parking, and lush tropical landscaping with paver brick pathways. Ideally situated at the coveted south end of Lido Key, you’re moments from both the Gulf of Mexico and the tranquil bay waters of Ted Sperling Park—a 100-acre haven cherished by boaters, kayakers, and fishing enthusiasts alike. Lido Beach awaits with its white sugar sands and azure tides, while the energy of downtown Sarasota is only minutes away. At Lido Harbor Towers, every day feels like a vacation getaway.
