Under contract-accepting backup offers. In a market where building a custom home can take years, this recently completed residence offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to move immediately into a new home in one of Sarasota's most coveted beachside neighborhoods. Located just moments from the private Lido Shores beach access, the home was thoughtfully designed for modern coastal living, blending clean architectural lines, expansive walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. Every detail has already been completed, allowing the next owner to enjoy the benefits of new construction without the uncertainty, delays, and escalating costs associated with building today. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring Thermador appliances, custom Italian cabinetry, and an oversized island that naturally serves as the gathering place for family and guests. Open-concept living and dining spaces connect effortlessly to the pool, spa, and outdoor entertaining areas, creating a home equally suited for everyday living and large-scale entertaining. All five bedrooms feature en-suite baths, providing privacy and comfort for both owners and guests. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with spa-inspired finishes and a tranquil connection to the surrounding outdoor spaces. Above it all, an expansive rooftop terrace captures spectacular sunset views toward the Gulf of Mexico-a rare feature that provides an additional layer of outdoor living and entertaining space seldom found in the neighborhood. Completed in 2024 by Seaward Homes, the residence is equipped with smart-home technology, custom closets, premium finishes, and the level of quality expected in a newly built luxury home. Lido Shores remains one of Sarasota's most sought-after waterfront communities, offering private beach access and an unmatched location between St. Armands Circle, Downtown Sarasota and Longboat Key. Residents enjoy convenient access to award-winning restaurants, cultural attractions, marinas, and some of the region's finest waterfront amenities. For buyers seeking new construction in Lido Shores, opportunities are exceptionally limited. This is a chance to enjoy the benefits of a brand-new residence today rather than waiting years for one to be built.
