Just steps to the pristine sands of Lido Key Beach, this adorable getaway is ready to enjoy! Loved by the same family for over 30 years, it is ready for a new owner to build their own sandy memories, and offered turnkey furnished to make that as easy as possible! Cute as a button, super clean and tidy, plus a brand-new AC and newer water heater, there is nothing to do here! You will delight in the Gulf views and deeded beach access is merely 100 feet from your very own balcony – just cross Benjamin Franklin Drive and you are there! After a day at the beach, visit the tropical tiki bar at the nearby Lido Beach Resort, or walk down to the other tiki bar at the Ritz if you prefer! Lido Presidential is situated conveniently near St. Armands Circle and the great mix of upscale and casual shopping and dining options offered there. South Lido Park is also very close and you must kayak the mangroves there! Whether visiting for vacation or a season to escape winter, or making The Presidential your year-round home, so many amenities are right outside your doorstep. Or you can always just enjoy the peace and tranquility. The building has a beautiful and tropically landscaped pool and the helpful on-site manager is also a wonderful asset to owners. The floor plan lives large with an open and spacious kitchen, and the main bedroom is a very nice size with lots of storage. There is good separation between the main bedroom and the guest bed and bath, so you and your visitors can all feel comfortable and cozy. It simply doesn’t get better than this great building, located near all the fabulous amenities of Lido Key and St. Armands Circle (also just a short ride to downtown Sarasota – be sure to hop on the free Bay Runner!), so schedule your visit today!
