Showcasing breathtaking bay and city skyline views, this impeccably remodeled furnished residence delivers refined coastal elegance and effortless waterfront living. From the moment you enter, panoramic water and skyline vistas take center stage, setting the tone for a light-filled interior designed for both comfort and entertaining. The open floor plan features an inviting living room and dining area with designer lighting and walls of glass opening to the extraordinary 40+ foot terrace, an ideal setting for morning coffee or hosting guests against a stunning waterfront backdrop. The beautifully appointed kitchen blends style and function with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, and a full suite of Bosch appliances including refrigerator with freezer drawer, dishwasher, built-in microwave, oven with warming drawer, electric 5-burner cooktop, and vent hood. A Silhouette Professional dual-zone beverage center completes the space for effortless entertaining. The tranquil primary suite is a private retreat with terrace access, ceiling fan, and a thoughtfully redesigned spa-style bath featuring dual vanities, walk-in shower, and private water closet with Toto toilet and bidet. An office with a Murphy bed offers a closet with barn door enclosure, accent wall, frosted glass double doors, and ceiling fan, while an additional bedroom enjoys terrace access. The guest bath includes a tub/shower combination with Kohler fixtures, and the elegant powder bath showcases marble countertops, textured accent wall, and decorative lighting. A separate laundry room with built-in cabinetry adds everyday convenience. The chic powder bath is perfectly positioned for guests. Outdoor living is exceptional on the expansive terrace, complete with patio furnishings and a Coyote electric grill. Additional features include a hallway trash chute, new water heater (2022), assigned gated under-building parking space, and private storage locker. Located within the prestigious L’Elegance on Lido Key, residents enjoy a secure gated beachfront community with guard service, direct beach access, heated lap pool, spa, children’s pool, fitness center with saunas, tennis courts, kayak and bike storage, social rooms, underground parking, and full-time maintenance staff.
