1800 Benjamin Franklin Dr Unit A304, Sarasota, FL, 34236

Such a view! What a location!! This Essex unit, built in 1996, has just one owner. It is the largest available at L?Elegance. Ideally located on the South end of Lido Beach, this community did not have any indoor or pool sand invasion, and many suffered on the West Coast in the storms this season. Enjoy the open floor plan of 2230 sq feet of living space and 2810 sq square feet with views and balconies from front to back. Amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico, sunrise to sunset, and the unique Sarasota night line after dark. And pets are welcome! This enormous two-bedroom, three-bath ensuite with a convertible den opens out onto the terraces from every room. The primary suite sits on the Gulf side, with sliders out to the balcony overlooking the Gulf and pool. It has a walk-in closet, a large bathroom with stone finishes, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Enjoy the eat-in kitchen with views of Sarasota Bay or coffee as the sun rises from the terrace. There is a new oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The utility room is off the kitchen with a 2020 GE Stackable washer, dryer, sink, and storage. The den is conveniently located off the kitchen, or you can use the entrance from the main room. There is a closet and full bath that are easily accessible. The second en-suite bedroom has a private terrace entrance with east views catching the skyline of Sarasota.
