Situated among a limited collection of true beachfront estates on Lido Key, this 2023-built Gulf-front residence represents a rare opportunity to own direct beachfront property in one of Sarasota's most coveted coastal locations. Unlike the majority of Gulf-front homes that are separated from the shoreline by Gulf Boulevard and public beach parking, this property sits directly on the sand with private beach access from the residence itself. A rare natural buffer preserves both privacy and serenity, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed Gulf views without the intrusion of beachgoers. Set on .42 acres and just a short stroll from the boutiques and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, this estate offers the ideal balance of seclusion and walkability. Spanning over 6,300 square feet under air, the home features five bedrooms, six full baths, and one half bath, thoughtfully designed to capture panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from nearly every level. This residence is packed with modern, state-of-the-art features and architectural design elements, blending cutting-edge technology with refined coastal elegance. From the moment you enter, the horizon commands attention through expansive floor-to-ceiling pocketing glass doors engineered for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The open-concept main level showcases a Gulf-front great room and dining area, a chef's kitchen appointed with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, walk-in pantry, full conversation bar, and temperature-controlled wine room, all flowing effortlessly to the Gulf-front lanai with outdoor kitchen. Comprehensive smart home integration includes Control4 automation, 34 in-ceiling speakers, motorized Lutron shades throughout, and a commercial-grade elevator servicing all levels. All windows and sliding glass doors are hurricane-impact rated, providing both security and peace of mind. Every bedroom is designed as a private suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, offering exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The upper level also includes a dedicated fitness studio, creating a fully self-contained retreat experience within the home. On the ground level, the Gulf-front resort-style pool and expansive entertaining terrace create a private coastal compound atmosphere. The oversized pool with negative-edge spa is complemented by multiple outdoor living and dining areas, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a built-in television designed for seamless alfresco entertaining. Professionally designed landscaping and low-maintenance turf enhance both privacy and ease of ownership. A six-car garage and expansive paver driveway provide generous space for owners and guests. Offered fully furnished with select exclusions, this turnkey Gulf-front estate delivers rare direct beachfront positioning, privacy, walkability, advanced modern construction, and resort-level amenities in one of Lido Key's most exclusive settings.
