About this home

Beachfront Penthouse Perfection on Lido Key. Perched directly on the sands of Lido Key Beach, this beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse delivers priceless, uninterrupted Gulf views along with sweeping vistas to the south, a rare setting that feels like a permanent vacation. Fully renovated from the studs in 2022 and offered turnkey furnished, this residence is ready for you to simply arrive and start living the island life. Every detail was thoughtfully upgraded: wide-plank white oak LVP flooring flows throughout, complemented by all-new recessed lighting on dimmable switches for effortless ambiance. New 8-foot hurricane-impact sliders with Low-E, turtle-glass technology open the home to the water while remote-controlled privacy blinds (currently being installed) add convenience and comfort. Behind the walls, the transformation runs just as deep — all new plumbing, electrical, drywall, and insulation, giving you true peace of mind for years to come. The reconfigured, open-concept kitchen is made for entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry, all while framed by those same breathtaking Gulf views. The redesigned layout captures water views from nearly every room, stretching across the Intracoastal to Ted Sperling Park and Siesta Key beyond. Two spacious owner's suites, each with a private en-suite bath, offer flexibility and comfort for family or guests, and a high-efficiency Miele washer and dryer complete the move-in-ready package. Beyond your door, Lido Surf and Sand offers a full resort lifestyle: a beachfront heated pool and spa, saunas, a well-equipped fitness room, and a private beach outfitted with lounge chairs. The community's social calendar keeps life vibrant, with movie nights, dinners, BBQs, theatre outings, water aerobics, yoga, and more. This pet-friendly building recently completed a comprehensive 3-year concrete restoration and fresh exterior painting, so you can enjoy carefree island living for years ahead. Just steps away, Lido Key's finest dining, boutique shopping, and scenic biking and walking paths await. All the best of Sarasota's coastal lifestyle, right at your doorstep.
