Managed by the famed Ritz-Carlton, this contemporary high-rise is where legendary service meets an incomparable array of upscale amenities and resort-style leisure. Nestled on the coveted Sarasota Bay barrier island of Lido Key, this expansive residence features a thoughtful 2-bedroom 2.5-bath layout that blends an open-concept plan with a split-bedroom design for optimal privacy. A welcoming foyer frames the turquoise Gulf waters and lush emerald green tropical landscaping as you step inside. Perched on the 3rd floor, soaring 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass flood the residence with natural light. The great room and dining area flow seamlessly to a private terrace that spans the full width of the residence. With views from a generous 400+ square-foot outdoor space, you can enjoy alfresco dining and cool Gulf breezes. This residence is ideal for entertaining, with a layout tailored for gatherings or intimate evenings with friends and family. The chef's kitchen overlooks an inviting living area and features granite countertops, a substantial breakfast bar, solid-wood cabinetry, gas cooktop, built-in appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Both bedrooms open directly to an expansive terrace for stunning westerly views and award-winning daily sunsets.
