Oh, the views. The views are the main attraction in this 11th-floor Lido Beach condominium in Sarasota, Florida. Indulge in year-round sunrise and sunset views plus long-range vistas of the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay and downtown Sarasota. This rarely available corner unit in Lido Regency has the most diverse views on the island with the added bonus of an indoor-outdoor balcony with windows that slide open for a fantastic feeling of floating above the beachfront setting. The spacious 1,507-square-foot condominium has two bedrooms, two baths, a great room, kitchen and dining room. The open living areas take advantage of the great views and are completely separate from the private bedrooms. Luxury features include engineered hardwood floors, solid-wood cabinetry, granite countertops, granite windowsills, Savoy House ceiling fans, high-impact windows and high-end Bosch kitchen appliances. A shared utility room on the floor has an assigned storage locker, as well as a washer and dryer. The first-floor community space was recently remodeled and features floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby, fitness gym and social room. First-floor amenities also include shower/changing rooms, outdoor grills and kayak/paddleboard storage. The beachside pool area features a newly resurfaced heated pool/spa along with all-new pool furniture. Lido Regency is a fully-funded condominium with an active social lifestyle. This peaceful retreat is the perfect spot to unwind and relax by the beach. You can literally roll out of bed, ride down the elevator and step out onto the white sands of Lido Beach. The beach life, resort life and city life unite here. On one side, you have a private, gated pool by the beach. On the other, it's just one mile to the shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle and only 4 miles over the Ringling Bridge to downtown Sarasota for more shops and restaurants, plus art galleries, farmer's market and performing arts. Life is good on the beach.
