This stunning TURNKEY FURNISHED, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence at L'Elegance is move-in perfect and showcases a sweeping 39-foot terrace with breathtaking views of South Lido Park, the iconic Ringling Bridge, and the Sarasota skyline. Gleaming new wood-look tile floors flow seamlessly throughout, adding a fresh, modern warmth to every room. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, a ceramic tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The expansive primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, featuring a generous walk-in closet, an indulgent soaking tub, a separate glass shower, and dual vanities crafted for everyday luxury.

Secure under-building parking rounds out the convenience.
