Cosmopolitan and refined, luxury living at L' Elegance. This condominium was recently renovated, and no stone was left unturned in the process. Large format porcelain tile throughout the condo flows seamlessly to the outdoors onto the terrace, creating an expansive indoor/outdoor living and entertaining space. Walls were removed and thoughtful built ins were added to maximize every inch of space. In the kitchen, sleek European cabinetry, high end appliances, Quartz counters with waterfall edge, under cabinet lighting, and dining space are some of the notable finishes. The bathrooms feature stylish backlit mirrors, modern vanities with ample storage, luxurious tile and fixtures. The apartment throughout lives like a 5-star hotel, embracing a minimal aesthetic with clean lines and uncluttered spaces, neutral tones and organic finishes. This condo is the perfect weekend retreat for an already local resident or year-round living. L' Elegance is one of the newer buildings on Lido and has an amazing lobby to welcome you and your guests to the beach and where residents will gather for sunsets and social events. The community also offers a beachfront lap pool, spa, fitness center, club room, on site manager and under building parking. The location is a quick drive to St. Armands dining and shopping, Longboat Key dining and shopping, and downtown Sarasota. No need to renovate, move in and enjoy Lido beachfront living today!
