Remarks:

Wake each morning to sweeping Gulf views and end each day with Sarasota’s legendary sunsets from this ninth-floor residence at L’Elegance on Lido Beach. Positioned directly on the Gulf, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1, 350 square feet of living space and an expansive Gulf-front terrace designed to capture panoramic water views and coastal breezes. The living area, primary suite, and guest bedroom all enjoy direct Gulf exposure—an exceptional feature that allows nearly every primary living space to capture breathtaking beachfront views. What truly sets this residence apart is the rare opportunity already in motion. A full coastal-modern renovation is planned, with open permits in place and a contractor ready to begin. Renovation plans allow the next owner to move forward without typical delays while personalizing finishes. Recent Sarasota County-led beach renourishment, completed just weeks ago, has significantly widened the shoreline, enhancing both the beauty and long-term stability of this Gulf-front setting. Ideally located on the quiet south end of Lido Key, this residence enjoys a more private beachfront environment while remaining just moments from the renowned shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle and the cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota. L’Elegance is one of Lido Key’s most sought-after beachfront communities, offering a 24-hour guarded entrance, resort-style Gulf-front pool and spa, newly updated fitness center with modern equipment, tennis courts, clubhouse, and private deeded beach access. The community is currently enhancing each residential floor with modern finishes, reflecting ongoing investment and pride of ownership throughout the building. Whether envisioned as a refined seasonal escape or a full-time coastal residence, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a custom-designed Gulf-front home in one of Sarasota’s premier beachfront locations.
