Designer finished and absolutely stunning, this condo is quintessentially L'Elegance. Just through the guarded gate of the highly sought-after L’Elegance on Lido Beach, this rarely available first-floor corner residence offers the perfect blend of refined luxury and effortless beachfront living. Completely renovated from top to bottom, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo showcases designer, high-end finishes throughout, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming coastal retreat. With higher ceilings unique to these residences and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, natural light fills the almost 2,000 square-foot interior, enhancing the home’s open and airy feel. Located on the amenity level with easy access to the lobby for enjoying the sunset beach views, the fitness center with his and hers saunas, billiards and card room, and pool and beach, these spaces become an extension of your own living space. On the desirable south end of the building, this home is distinguished by an extraordinary 50’ x 20’ private terrace—one of the largest you’ll find in any beachfront condo. Porcelain tile flooring extends from the inside out, expanding the interior living to the outside where the massive balcony is surrounded by lush landscape. Quietly positioned on the south end of Lido Beach, yet just minutes from the world-class dining and shopping of St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota, the location is unbeatable. This residence has undergone a complete down to the studs renovation with no detail overlooked. All new drywall with smooth finish, a new plumbing stack, upgraded electrical and new panel, a fully reimagined floor plan set the foundation for this high-end transformation. Thoughtful and elegant designer updates include all-new HVAC and water heater, and laundry cabinetry with premium fixtures, all new appliances, designer lighting and ceiling fans, upgraded base moldings and coffered ceilings, and a spa-inspired primary bath with steam shower. Custom built-in closets throughout, motorized shades throughout the unit, and a murphy bed with integrated desk in the second bedroom complete this exceptional offering. A rare opportunity to own a truly luxuriously finished condo - this one must be seen to fully appreciate the craftmanship and timeless design. L ’Elegance is known to be a friendly and well-managed beachfront community, offering 400 feet of deep, private beach just steps from the heated swimming pool. Residents enjoy 2 Har-Tru tennis courts, kayak access, garage parking, and the peace of mind provided by a full-time, on-site manager and maintenance staff. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy a completely reimagined luxury residence in one of Lido Beach’s most desirable buildings—where elegance, comfort, and coastal living come together beautifully. And if this all wasn't enough, this building is pet friendly allowing large dogs!
