Plus, you’re just moments from the vibrant shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, making premier dining and shopping always within easy reach. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,280-square-foot residence is offered turnkey furnished in relaxed island style. Hand-painted artisan touches infuse every space with authentic character, while tranquil surroundings set the tone for effortless beachside living, and impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors provide peace of mindβ€”delivering durability, comfort, and style. Relax on your fully enclosed balcony, where the sunrise colors the sky over South Lido Park and Preserve, and gentle breezes complete peaceful sunsets over subtle Gulf views.

The eat-in kitchen blends function and style, featuring crisp white raised-panel cabinetry with glass display shelving and a coordinating tiled backsplash. A custom ceiling and modern stainless-steel appliances bring a fresh update to the space, while a closet pantry adds valuable storage. Bright walls infuse a lively atmosphere, and a convenient pass-through seamlessly connects the kitchen to the main living area for easy entertaining. The great room has dedicated living and dining spaces that open effortlessly to the balcony, adding nearly 100 square feet of indoor-outdoor living for relaxed gatherings or quiet moments by the coast. The Gulf-side primary bedroom is a bright retreat, featuring an ensuite bath, dual double closets, and custom tilework inspired by the colors of a beach sunset. Designer ceiling fan, sun-kissed walls in cheerful tones, and direct balcony access through sliding glass doors complete this inviting sanctuary. Completing the interior is a comfortable secondary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a guest bath adorned in the same uplifting finishes found throughout the home. Generous closet space offers versatility to meet your needs, with the option to incorporate a private laundry for added comfort and convenience. The residence also includes deeded storage and assigned one-car garage parking. Lido Harbor Towers is nestled directly on the sands of Lido Key, just south of the Ritz Carlton Beach Club.

Starting figures for 1770 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DR #206. Everything below is editable.

AssumptionNot a quoted rate. Ask a lender what you actually qualify for today.

From this listingThe seller's most recent annual tax bill as reported to the MLS. Your bill will differ β€” Florida reassesses on sale and homestead caps reset.

Editable estimateA placeholder, not a quote. On the Gulf Coast this is the line item most likely to be wrong: premiums swing on roof age, wind mitigation, elevation, and carrier appetite. Get a real quote before you rely on this number.

Starts at $0Deliberately zero until you enter a figure β€” we will not inflate a payment with a guess. Many homes here need it; ask us for the property's flood zone and the current policy's premium.

From this listingMonthly association fee as reported to the MLS. Confirm what it includes, and ask about special assessments.

AssumptionNot applied β€” your down payment is 20% or more.
