Property Description
This spacious home at gorgeous L'Elegance is an absolute must-see! Every single aspect here is updated, chic, and ready to enjoy…from the stunning & elegant kitchen and baths to the functional items (AC & water heater – 2022, NEW ROOF – 2025), this property is gloriously move-in ready! The care and excellent management of this building is clear from the moment you arrive at the gate, where you will be greeted by a pretty pavered drive and lush landscaping. Sitting high from the road, there is an unmistakable graciousness to L'Elegance, and this is only enhanced further by the attractive lobby with an immediate view of the sparkling gulf waters beyond. Truly, there is not another building in this area with an entrance so magnificent. Amazing water views is the name of the game here, and that continues in the condo itself, where you'll immediately see the blue waters of Sarasota Bay from the expansive windows. The bay view also allows for a lovely connection to nature, as you'll also glimpse the treetops, and don't forget how gorgeous the sparking lights of the Sarasota skyline are at night! The 50' wide terrace is incredible and so much more spacious than is typical on the beaches, so there is plenty of room to enjoy the view. Inside you will love the wide & airy floor plan, which is more reminiscent of a home than condo (the opposite of that tunnel feel condos can sometimes have), and the tremendous updates throughout! The kitchen & baths were recently renovated and feature solid wood cabinetry and gleaming quartz countertops, with a sophisticated and unique mix of warm & cool tones. All new appliances (LG, Bosch, Frigidaire) and loads of storage make this kitchen one where cooking will be a delight! The entire bay side of the condo features sliding doors and a glass-railed balcony so you truly can relish in the view at all times here. And you'll have toes in the sand immediately out the back door of the building! The pool is the largest on Lido and it is perfectly perched overlooking the beach, and the building also has a lovely fitness center and access to luxurious saunas. The location on the sands of Lido Key just a short walk from St. Armands Circle and the wonderful shopping & dining there simply can't be beat! Two wooded parks with kayak launches are also just steps away, and you'll love grabbing the Bay Runner Trolley for a quick trip downtown. You must see this one in person to believe it so schedule your visit today!
