Description
An exceptional opportunity to own directly on Lido Beach at a price point rarely associated with a water-view residence in this coveted island location. Lido Ambassador puts the Gulf of Mexico at your doorstep, with resort amenities next door, St. Armands Circle nearby and the island trolley just steps away—making it easy to enjoy the best of Sarasota’s beach lifestyle. Located on the southwest corner of the building, #501 enjoys beach views from the south-facing windows and balcony, along with a peek-a-boo view toward Big Pass. Additional windows in the primary bedroom welcome natural light and morning sun. Inside, consistent tile flooring creates an easy flow throughout, while the split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests. The layout also offers the option to add an in-unit washer and dryer. Lido Ambassador is a secure Gulf-front building with assigned parking and a distinctive position as the first beachfront condominium on Lido Key, immediately south of the Lido Beach Resort. Spend the morning on the sand, walk or trolley to St. Armands Circle for lunch, then come home to your own place on Lido Key. For buyers looking for water views, an exceptional location and compelling value, #501 deserves a closer look.
