Situated on the serene southern tip of Lido Key within the coveted First Lido community, Villa 12 delivers a coastal living experience that is increasingly rare—blending the privacy of a single-family home with the effortless, maintenance-free lifestyle of a ground-level villa. With 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile enclosed Florida room, this residence is ideal for those seeking a quiet island retreat with the vibrant energy of Lido Key just moments away. The villa has been significantly updated from the studs out, providing a fresh and clean interior canvas. The open-concept floor plan features porcelain tile flooring throughout and a modern kitchen appointed with brand-new appliances and sleek finishes—offering a bright, functional space for everyday living and hosting. While the core renovation work has been completed, the home remains a "living canvas," providing a unique opportunity for a new owner to add their own custom refinements and personal style to a high-potential space. Practicality is built-in with rare amenities, including a private attached carport for door-front parking and a dedicated in-unit laundry room. The enclosed Florida room adds valuable square footage, serving as a flexible den, office, or guest space. Just steps from your door, enjoy private beach access and a gulf-front pool where residents gather for sunset views. Positioned just minutes from St. Armand’s Circle and South Lido Park, the location is truly peerless. With a highly motivated seller ready to move, this property is priced to reflect its current condition and presents a significant opportunity for a buyer looking to secure a renovated Lido Key address at a competitive value.
