Description of Property

An idyllic island getaway in a coveted Lido Shores location with unobstructed Gulf views and nearby access to the residents-only private beach, this chic contemporary home offers a spacious open layout and excellent indoor-outdoor flow with the convenience of single-level living. With the feel of a private resort, the home boasts thoughtful design features that are both elevated and relaxed, from the dramatic covered double-door entrance to the wood-beamed ceiling in the living room, wide plank floors throughout, louvered window coverings, and walls of glass that showcase exotic foliage. Meticulously renovated in 2025, nearly 3,000 square feet of brightly lit interior space opens seamlessly to a fully enclosed rear terrace with a pool, creating an open-air extension of the living space while preserving privacy. Glass doors and oversized windows showcase a connection to the tropical landscape at every angle. The front living room, with warm-toned wood accents and a cozy electric fireplace, enjoys sight lines to the rear terrace and pool on one side and through the glass front doors to the beach on the other side. Past the front living room, a linear kitchen provides plentiful counter and storage space, with premium stainless-steel appliances and counter seating adjacent to the central spacious dining area. Opposite the kitchen, a second living room overlooks the pool through a full wall of sliding glass doors, and beyond it, yet more shared living space extends the terrace access and offers flex space as a game room, media den, and more. Poised for full-time or seasonal living, this home is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a family vacation retreat or investment property where the sense of chic island comfort cannot be overstated.
