Description
Spectacular transformations from top to bottom welcome you to this completely renovated ninth floor residence at Lido Beach Club; showcasing a refined, modern interior while framing sweeping Gulf to bay views from nearly every room. Located at 1212 Benjamin Franklin Drive, this two bedroom, two bath residence offers 1,400+ square feet of interior space and an open layout designed to maximize light, sightlines, and indoor outdoor living.

Expanses of impact rated windows and sliding glass doors frame panoramic vistas of the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, and the city skyline beyond. Tile flooring runs throughout, reinforcing the clean, coastal aesthetic and low maintenance appeal.
The updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, solid wood custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, tile backsplash, and a wine refrigerator. Pendant lighting and sleek finishes elevate the space while maintaining functionality for everyday living and entertaining.

Both bedrooms also feature terrace access, extending the living space outdoors and offering private vantage points to enjoy sunrise skies and shimmering Gulf waters.
