Location, location, location! Unobstructed Lido beach and ocean views from every room, coupled with a short walk to the pleasures of St. Armands Circle and glorious sunsets, make this fully furnished, turn-key two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium on the 7th floor hard to beat. The entrance leads into an expansive, open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen, which opens onto the 40' balcony with fabulous panoramic ocean views. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with space for bar stools to enjoy informal meals and the ocean views. The spacious king-size primary bedroom has private sliding doors opening onto the 40' long balcony, a built-in cabinet and desk and an en-suite bathroom with a shower and walk-in closet. A comfortable, versatile second bedroom features a wall of built-in shelves and sliding doors that open onto the balcony. There is a fully renovated second bathroom with a shower. A useful walk-in closet off the entrance offers great storage and completes this home. The unit has a new hot water heater, upgraded electrical panel, and new carpeting in most rooms. St. Armands Towers South was recently renovated with newly carpeted and painted hallways and a remodeled clubroom featuring a full kitchen, library and fitness room. Full laundry facilities are on every floor, and the building has onsite management and a maintenance supervisor. The condominium is pet-friendly (pets up to 25 lbs are allowed). The heated pool and newly planted lush tropical garden provide a peaceful oasis. Cross the street onto the fine sands of Lido Beach or walk a few minutes to the many wonderful restaurants and shops of St. Armands Circle. Downtown Sarasota with its fabled cultural scene is a short drive away by car or the Trolley Shuttle.
