About this home

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Villa 12 at First Lido is one of Lido Key's true hidden gems — a rare ground-level beachfront villa that delivers the privacy of a single-family home with the ease of maintenance free living.
No elevator, no stairs — just step outside and the beach is right there. A private attached carport at your door and in-unit washer and dryer make everyday life effortless — amenities rarely found at this price point on Lido Key.
Inside, this bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa features a fully updated open floor plan, porcelain tile throughout, brand new appliances and clean contemporary finishes. An enclosed Florida room adds versatile bonus space — den, office, or guest overflow, whatever you need it to be.
A gulf-front heated pool with stunning views and direct private beach access complete the picture.
Minutes from South Lido Park, St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota.
Ground level. Beach access. Private carport. In-unit laundry. Lido Key address. This is the one.
