1440 John Ringling Pkwy., Sarasota, FL 34236

Wide-open bayfront views of the iconic Ringling Bridge and the downtown skyline with great boating and a private beach, this wonderful Lido Shores home checks all the boxes. Light and bright with walls of glass sliders and vaulted ceilings, allowing reflections of the bay into this perfectly casual Florida beach house. Bring your boat to your private dock and lift, relax around the pool and enjoy a waterfront dinner with friends and neighbors. This property also includes access to the private beach at North Lido Shores. Gated access gives you parking, a gazebo for entertaining and a swim in the Gulf of Mexico. The sprawling home has four bedrooms on the main level with a private guest suite upstairs. Or, if you prefer to build a new home, this is a wonderful large lot of over 16,000 square feet with a walled, gated entry. You can’t beat the amenities of this location. It is less than a mile to the restaurants and shopping of St. Armands Circle and only a short drive to downtown, bustling with restaurants and bars, shopping, the farmers market and a full calendar of shows and cultural events.
