About This Home
ST. ARMANDS TOWERS SOUTH - Located across the street from the crystal blue waters of Lido Beach, and two short blocks from St. Armands Circle, this furnished fifth-floor condo is the epitome of coastal chic with 1,275 sq ft of interior living space in an open floor plan, with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The east-facing residence extends a refined yet relaxing living experience with style that includes natural textures, a palette of coastal colors, and generous sliding glass doors from the living room and both bedrooms to the spacious balcony, creating an open airy feel throughout the space. Thoughtful updates such as ceiling fans and oversized tile floors are a perfect complement to the Florida lifestyle. The kitchen is open to the spacious living room and dining room, and is equipped with recessed lighting, stone counters, an undermount sink, beautiful cabinetry with plenty of storage, and stainless appliances. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bathroom and generous walk-in closet, and the additional bedroom is perfect for a home office, or an extra room for guests. There is a storage closet in the unit, and one covered carport space is included, with a private storage locker for beach toys. St Armands Tower South is a well-managed, pet friendly building (up to 25 lbs), with amenities that include a heated pool with Gulf views, beautifully updated lobby, community room with kitchen, library, and fitness room, with a laundry room on each floor, onsite management and maintenance supervisor. When you’re not at the beach, enjoy the upscale European ambiance on St. Armands Circle with art galleries, retail therapy, relaxing spa services, gourmet & casual sidewalk cafes, a vibrant social scene, a pedestrian-friendly promenade, and an array of local events just around the corner. The iconic Lido Key location is also just 3 miles from downtown Sarasota, so you can truly experience the metropolitan sophistication of Florida’s “Cultural Coast” from an elegant beachside locale at St. Armands Towers South.
