Discover your slice of paradise with this beautiful Key West-style home, ideally positioned on North Lido Key. On a quiet, dead-end street with no public parking, this property offers unmatched privacy and direct access to the pristine white sands of North Lido Beach. With North Lido Beach Park as your neighbor, you'll enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of this idyllic location, where every day feels like a vacation. Completely remodeled in 2016 and a new roof in 2024, this furnished home has been thoughtfully updated to meet the latest hurricane code, ensuring safety and peace of mind with impact-resistant windows and doors. The newly landscaped grounds, complete with a new irrigation system, provide a lush backdrop for outdoor living. Inside, you'll find a sophisticated blend of modern design and coastal charm. The kitchen features stunning quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry with pullout drawers and soft-close mechanisms, and GE Cafe stainless steel appliances, making it a chef's dream. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into the screened outdoor living area, ideal for entertaining and everyday relaxation. The spacious primary suite is a retreat, with a large walk-in closet, private washer and dryer, and a spa-like en-suite bath complete with a pedestal tub, walk-in shower, dual sinks and custom wood cabinetry. The upstairs second bedroom suite exudes charm, offering built-in bookshelves and a sliding ladder for a whimsical touch. The bonus area on the ground floor can easily serve as a third bedroom, complete with a large walk-in closet and access to the fenced backyard, ideal for guests or family members who desire their own space. This home also features an oversized two-car garage with extra golf cart parking at the side entry, making it easy to explore the neighborhood. While the beach is the main attraction, St. Armands Circle, known for its shopping, dining and vibrant atmosphere, is just a few blocks away, offering the best of both worlds. Whether you prefer relaxing on the screened front balcony with views of North Lido Beach and Park, exploring the mangroves by kayak or paddleboard, or enjoying a day of shopping and dining at St. Armands, this home delivers an exceptional lifestyle for those seeking a coastal escape with all the amenities of modern living. Minimal flood intrusion on ground floor from recent storms, according to the owner. It was quickly remedied.
