About this home
Direct Gulf-front views from the living room and both bedrooms. Newly widened beach. Ninth-floor elevation.
Wake to the sound of waves and unobstructed Gulf views from this ninth-floor residence at L’Elegance on Lido Beach, where the living room, primary suite, and guest bedroom all enjoy direct Gulf frontage—a rarely available opportunity on Lido Beach.
Positioned directly on the beach, this residence features an expansive Gulf-front terrace designed for year-round sunsets, coastal breezes, and panoramic water views stretching across the horizon.
Residents of L’Elegance enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities including a 24-hour guarded entrance, Gulf-front resort-style pool and spa, updated fitness center, tennis courts, clubhouse, and a private deeded beach reserved exclusively for residents and their guests—offering a more peaceful and secluded beachfront experience.
Adding to its appeal, Sarasota County’s recent beach renourishment has dramatically expanded the shoreline, creating an even more impressive beachfront setting and enhancing the enjoyment of this coveted stretch of Lido Key and the community’s private deeded beach.
Located on the coveted south end of Lido Key, residents enjoy a quieter beachfront setting while remaining just moments from the boutiques, restaurants, and waterfront dining of St. Armands Circle, as well as the arts, entertainment, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota.
Whether envisioned as a seasonal escape or a full-time coastal residence, this offering presents a rare opportunity to own direct Gulf-front property on one of Sarasota’s most desirable beaches—where every day begins with sweeping water views and ends with Sarasota’s unforgettable sunsets....
