Property Description

What if you could own a fully renovated beach house on St. Armands Circle for the price many buyers are paying for an outdated condo… while being surrounded by $3M-$10M homes just blocks from the Gulf? Welcome to 409 N Washington Drive, an exceptionally rare opportunity to own one of the least expensive fully renovated homes to become available on St. Armands in years. Perfectly positioned just two blocks from the world-famous boutiques, restaurants, and cafés of St. Armands Circle, and only three blocks from the beautiful beaches of Lido Key, this charming single-story bungalow captures the kind of lifestyle most only experience on vacation. And here, vacation never has to end. Tucked away on one of the quietest streets on the Key, this beautifully updated 2-bed, 2-bath residence spans about 1700 SF and has been thoughtfully designed to deliver effortless coastal living with a resort-style feel. Lush tropical landscaping creates a sense of privacy rarely found this close to the beach and Circle, while multiple outdoor patios, lounging areas, and a sparkling resort-style pool invite year-round indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Behind the charming exterior is a completely updated residence designed for effortless ownership, low-maintenance living, and maximum enjoyment. The home has undergone extensive renovations including updated PVC plumbing, updated electrical systems, hurricane-rated impact windows and doors, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, upgraded flooring, modern finishes, updated appliances, and refreshed indoor-outdoor living spaces. Every detail was intentionally curated to create a bright, inviting atmosphere that feels relaxed, elevated, and move-in ready from day one. Unlike many older island properties that become renovation projects disguised as opportunities, 409 N Washington removes the uncertainty, expense, and disruption buyers often fear when purchasing near the coast. There is no looming “what will break next?” anxiety here. The heavy lifting has already been done. For investors, this property checks nearly every box that drives premium short-term rental performance: an iconic walkable location, proximity to the beach, strong luxury rental demand, a fully furnished turnkey setup, and a proven St. Armands address that has historically outperformed many Sarasota County markets in appreciation and desirability. Offered furnished, including household goods, linens, décor, and months of future bookings in place, this is the type of property capable of generating strong occupancy with minimal downtime while also serving as a long-term appreciation play in one of Florida's most supply-constrained markets. For lifestyle buyers, the appeal becomes even more personal. Imagine morning walks to coffee on the Circle, afternoons at Lido Beach, sunset dinners without needing a car, and evenings entertaining poolside after a day on the water. Whether used as a seasonal retreat, a lock-and-leave second home, or a full-time residence for a buyer seeking a lower-maintenance alternative to condominium living, this home delivers the rare combination of freedom, convenience, privacy, and coastal charm. In an area where many properties require extensive updating or command significantly higher prices, this home represents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey St. Armands residence with lifestyle appeal, income potential, and long-term investment strength wrapped into one exceptionally charming property.
