Exceptional opportunity to own your piece of paradise right on Lido Key in the highly sought-after St Armands Towers community. Once you enter, stunning views greet you from every room in this tastefully updated 2 bed/2 bath condominium. Enjoy the best of both worlds, with views of the Gulf & Bay and year-round sunsets to create unforgettable memories. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a fantastic view of the Gulf of Mexico's tranquil Azur water. Both bedrooms and living room have direct access to the 270 sq ft balcony, allowing you to relax after a day of fun on the water or the beach and unwind. The residence offers a dining area and large living area with an in-unit storage closet that is huge and will come in very handy. The guest bedroom is very spacious and has a nice size closet. The master directly views the beach and the bay, making the nighttime view of twinkling lights. The master bath has a dual vessel sink vanity, a separate water closet, and a large walk-in shower. The walk-in closet offers tons of storage space. The building underwent a significant renovation of the lobby, community room, kitchen, library, bathrooms, gym, re-lined the plumbing, and resurfaced the heated pool. There is on-site maintenance management. A covered parking space and a storage unit come with the property. Minutes to the LIDO BEACH TIKI Hut/Bar for sunsets, meals, and drinks.
