162 Emerson Dr, Sarasota, FL 34236

The last and best lot on Lido Beach with unobstructed views of the Gulf, this property is an exceptional opportunity to craft the island lifestyle of your dreams with just under a half-acre of land steps away from the soft sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Located at the end of a quiet drive with no on-street parking, you will enjoy unmatched privacy and convenience to the shops and dining of Sarasota's "it" destination - St. Armands Circle. The current structure is an elevated three-bedroom home with circular paver motor court and immediate access to the nature trails of Lido Key. Yours to reimagine or build new, part of this parcel's unquestionable appeal is its unobstructed views of the water and beach. It is truly the last and best lot on the island, measuring 135' x150' and ideal for creating a family compound or intimate island getaway, with neighboring homes varying in architectural styles from the great minds of Guy Peterson and other high-profile architects. Stroll along Lido Beach or walk just a few blocks to St. Armands Circle where boutiques, eclectic eateries, ice cream shops, and weekend festivals enliven the streetscape. Downtown Sarasota, with its endless variety of arts and culture, is just over the bridge. Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, or SRQ International Airport are just a short drive away. Not only do you have the benefit of the views of the Gulf of Mexico, but also views Northward towards Longboat Key and the mainland. The last and best lot on Lido Beach, opportunities like this don't come along often.
