Description

Imagine waking each morning to soft coastal light drifting across your floors-the sort of quiet golden light that tells you you're somewhere special. This is not simply a condo. This is a life lived in light, water and the slow gold of a Sarasota sunset. Perched on the tenth floor of the prestigious L'Elegance on Lido Beach-one of Sarasota's most celebrated waterfront addresses. Unit B1007 is a rare corner residence that opens in nearly every direction to the Bay of Sarasota, the Gulf of America, the Sarasota skyline and the living world of mangroves below.Manatees drift through the water, kayakers glide through the shallows and every evening your master bedroom your master bedroom balcony frames a sunset that drops straight into the gulf-this kind of sky stops you mid-sentence and makes you grateful to be alive. Three bedroom, each with en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own balcony featuring amazing water views. This is the architecture of a life that refuses to compromise. The living room, dining room and kitchen flow together in an open plan, all of it oriented to the Bay and all its famous landmarks. The wraparound balcony extends that living space into the open air, providing you with front-row seats to the water at every hour-morning mist, afternoon shimmer and the nightly theatre of the Sarasota skyline, all reflecting off the water. Here you find a private laundry fully equipped with clothes washer and dryer, a deep freezer and double sink-with generous storage space; this is a home built for real living, not just weekend visits. A spacious foyer closet accomodates guest coats and beach bags with ease. The floor plan has spacious storage and on the second floor there is another separate, private, lockable storage room. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself-a walk-in closet, a spa style en-suite bath with garden tub and separate shower AND that west-facing balcony where the sun descends every evening into a panoramic splendor just for you. Impact windows with electric hurricane shutters -storm protection at the touch of a switch. Engineered wood floors. Fresh paint. Furnished and move-in ready. Owners amenities include a heated lap pool, spa, tennis courts, fitness center with modern equipment, clubhouse and a private boardwalk leading directly to the sands of Lido Beach. St Armands Circle with its galleries, restaurants and shops is only a stroll away. This is sunrise and sunset in one home. Dont wait, call now!
