About this home
Welcome to Lido Beach Club, one of Lido Key’s most beloved and beautifully maintained Gulf-front communities. Perched on the 10th floor, this 1,421-square-foot residence at 1212 Benjamin Franklin Drive, Unit 1003, delivers beach views of the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, and the sparkling coastline beyond — visible from every single room. This bright, airy condo offers two spacious en-suite bedrooms, each generous enough to serve as a primary retreat. Luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring run throughout, giving the home a clean, cohesive feel. The open gathering areas are centered around the panoramic scenery, showcased through walls of glass accented by wood-framed sliding plantation panels. Step outside to the 30-foot balcony, wrapped in wrought iron for that timeless coastal touch. From here, enjoy gentle breezes, sweeping vistas, and even a peek at the Ritz-Carlton Beach Club next door. Florida living doesn’t get much finer. The kitchen features granite countertops, a stainless three-door refrigerator, new microwave, and solid cabinetry with pull-out drawers and a pantry. The counter’s peninsula design allows for barstool seating — perfect for casual bites or chatting with company while you cook. A convenient in-unit stackable washer and dryer adds everyday practicality. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with quartz countertops, integrated sinks, and updated showers with a brand new water heater to ensure you have dependable hot water and energy-efficient comfort for years to come. Lido Beach Club itself sits right on the sand, offering a private beach, a beachside pool, tiki tables, grilling areas, and front-row seats to Sarasota’s postcard-perfect sunsets. Additional community features include a large club room perfect for parties and gatherings, fitness center, and recently renovated hallways with a stylish, contemporary look. An on-site property manager rounds out the peace of mind. All of this comes with unbeatable walkability to the world famous St. Armands Circle and a quick hop over the John Ringling Bridge to downtown Sarasota, where dining, theater, arts, and entertainment await.
