    *SEE ADDITIONAL INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHY* - This 9th floor Lido Beach condo just one block from St Armands Circle boasts sensational sunsets and western views of the Gulf of Mexico and Lido Beach, plus sweeping northern vistas over St Armands Key and Pansy Bayou, spanning from Lido Shores to Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key in the distance. The breathtaking wide-open waters and elevated island views are the first thing you notice as you step into this open and spacious 1,389 sq. ft. residence, the perfect sanctuary for relaxed year-round living, or an ideal seasonal retreat for memorable beach vacations. An expansive private balcony extends the living space outdoors along the length of the residence, with convenient access from sliding glass doors in both bedrooms and the living room. The magnificent primary suite is its own private beachfront oasis with grand panoramic views of the island to the west and north, an enviable vantage point from which to savor the awe-inspiring sunsets. An additional bedroom also offers spectacular views and is the perfect space for guests, and with two full bathrooms in the condo, privacy isn’t an issue. The open living and dining space maximize the expansive island and beach views, with sliding glass doors that open to the balcony, providing lots of natural light. New appliances in the kitchen, neutral tile flooring throughout, an in-residence laundry with included stackable Bosch washer and dryer, one-car covered carport, and private storage closet add convenience. A landmark on Lido Key, the condos at St Armand Towers North have one of Sarasota’s most iconic locations just one block from St Armands Circle’s renowned upscale shops and restaurants, and directly across from pristine Lido Beach. The island resort lifestyle is ingrained in this well managed community with amenities that include a heated pool with Gulf Views, exercise facility, community room/library, onsite Maintenance Supervisor, and a full-time office manager. Whether you appreciate leisurely pursuits like shopping and dining on St Armands Circle, strolling the sugar-white sands of Lido Beach, or you prefer to seek adventure-packed bicycling, or kayaking, this ultimate location offers it all within walking distance, and is just around the corner from the free-trolley stop to downtown Sarasota, and all that it offers.
