Under Construction. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind opportunity on Lido Key. This home sits directly across from the sand—simply step out the door, cross the street, and you’re on Lido Beach. Spend your days kayaking, swimming, or sunbathing, then stroll home barefoot for a cold drink from your own kitchen. With St. Armands Circle just a short walk away, world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment are all within easy reach—no car required. Currently under construction, this residence was conceived as a modern coastal sanctuary, where sleek architecture meets bulletproof engineering. From its commanding presence to its fortified construction, every detail was designed to impress—and to endure. The entire home is built from solid poured concrete, anchored deep into the earth by massive structural pilings. All windows and doors are hurricane-impact rated, and the structure exceeds even Florida’s highest standards for wind and storm resistance. This isn’t just hurricane-ready—it’s a concrete bunker in disguise, wrapped in modern design. Even the ground level is designed for resilience, finished entirely in water-resistant materials. In the rare event of flood exposure, cleanup is minimal—no costly damage, no downtime. It's a home that’s as smart as it is stunning. The layout is purposefully elevated to maximize privacy, function, and uninterrupted Gulf views. The first floor includes a spacious garage and ample storage for all your beach gear. The second floor offers the primary suite and two additional bedrooms, perfectly arranged for rest and retreat. On the third floor, you'll find two more bedrooms and an expansive, open-concept living area with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf. A full outdoor kitchen completes this level, making entertaining seamless. Finally, the rooftop terrace is the crown jewel—featuring a second outdoor kitchen, lounge area, and panoramic, front-row sunsets over the water every evening. The most expensive and critical construction milestones are already complete: the full structural concrete shell, roof, framing, impact windows, and the majority of mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-ins. The home is being built by a high-end custom home builder, who is ready to seamlessly carry the project through to completion for the next owner. Now is the perfect time to step in and bring your vision to life—select your finishes, refine your layout, and make it uniquely yours. Or, for those who prefer a hands-off approach, the listing broker can provide pricing for a fully turnkey solution. Whether you're seeking a showstopping primary residence, a private vacation home, or a premium short-term rental investment, this property checks every box. Its unbeatable location across from the beach and walking distance to St. Armands makes it a highly desirable destination for luxury travelers year-round. Homes like this don’t come along often. The heavy lifting is done. The dream is already in motion. Now it’s your turn to make it yours.
