About this home
A spectacular penthouse above the shores of Lido Key, where panoramic views stretch from the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico to Sarasota Bay to downtown’s skyline. Occupying the top floor of Orchid Beach Club's Bayview Building, this exceptional Grand Bermuda penthouse offers the scale and privacy of a luxury single-family home with the convenience of beachfront condominium living. Encompassing 5,987 square feet of interior living and 1,505 square feet of private terraces, the residence features four en-suite bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a private elevator entrance, and a rare enclosed four-car garage.
A private elevator opens to a gracious foyer and expansive interiors featuring high ceilings, crown molding, coffered and tray ceilings, polished marble flooring, and beautiful hardwood floors in the bedroom suites. Walls of oversized impact-rated windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors frame spectacular Gulf-to-bay views throughout the residence.
The magnificent Grand Salon overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, while the adjoining formal dining room and separate wine bar provide an elegant setting for entertaining. Sliding glass doors open to an expansive Gulf-facing terrace with breathtaking views of the shoreline and turquoise waters.
The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, center island, gas cooktop, built-in appliances, walk-in pantry, and separate butler's pantry. An informal dining area and adjoining family room create a comfortable gathering space with access to another private terrace.
Privately positioned in its own wing, the primary suite features hardwood flooring, dual walk-in closets, a spacious en-suite bathroom, morning kitchen, and private sitting area. Oversized windows and sliding glass doors capture magnificent coastal views, while a private terrace offers sweeping vistas from the Gulf toward Sarasota Bay.
Three additional en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations and privacy. The generously proportioned second guest suite is large enough to serve as another primary suite, featuring a spacious bathroom, walk-in closet, and private terrace. The fourth bedroom is currently configured as a den/office, providing additional flexibility.
Multiple private terraces totaling 1,505 square feet offer abundant opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining, and enjoying the panoramic coastal scenery. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room, abundant storage inside and out, and an oversized private enclosed four-car garage with room for a workshop.
Orchid Beach Club is an exclusive gated beachfront community on the southern end of Lido Key, offering direct beach access, a Gulf-front swimming pool and spa, clubhouse, fitness center, sauna, and 24-hour gated security. Enjoy the natural beauty of nearby South Lido Park, shopping and dining at St. Armands Circle, and convenient access to Downtown Sarasota's restaurants, galleries, theaters, and cultural attractions.
