Description

ST ARMANDS TOWERS SOUTH - This rarely available beach condo in one of the most desirable communities in Florida lets you experience the relaxed Lido Key lifestyle from a landmark location directly across from Lido Beach, and just two blocks from the renowned St Armands Circle, a premier shopping and dining destination. This 5th floor east-facing residence is being sold furnished, with a few exclusions, and offers 1,275 sq ft of interior living space in an open floor plan, with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Thoughtfully updated and beautifully designed, the residence has expansive sliding glass doors that lead from the living room and both bedrooms to the balcony, bringing the outdoors in and adding light, while flowing seamlessly to the outdoor living area on the private 240 sq ft balcony. Casual elegance is evident in all of the improvements throughout, with details such as fans in the living room and both bedrooms, smooth-finished walls and ceilings in a coastal palette, and oversized ceramic tile floors that make clean-up a breeze, after days spent lounging at the beach. The kitchen is open to the spacious living room and dining room, and is equipped with recessed lighting, stone counters, an undermount sink, beautiful cabinetry with plenty of storage, and stainless appliances. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bathroom and generous walk-in closet, and the additional bedroom is perfect for a home office, or an extra room for guests. There is a storage closet in the unit, and one covered carport space is also included, with a private storage locker for beach toys, and the building offers some bicycle storage for owners. Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence, or a vacation getaway, this delightful condo is the ideal Lido Key retreat. St Armands Tower South is a pet friendly building (< 25 lbs), with amenities that include a heated pool with Gulf views, community room with kitchen, library, fitness room, laundry room on each floor, and onsite management and maintenance supervisor. The property fared very well in the recent storms, as the building has been well maintained with recent renovations that include an updated lobby and fitness center, resurfaced swimming pool, newer hallways, upgraded building plumbing, and the entire exterior was freshly painted in 2022 (including the balconies and railings). Located just 3 miles from downtown, where else can you live so close to arts, culture, entertainment and a world-class beach? From the sun-kissed sands of Lido Beach to shopping at St. Armand’s Circle or experiencing the museums and performance art of Sarasota, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the good life from this iconic locale on Florida’s “Cultural Coast.” Request an appointment today.
