1750 Benjamin Franklin Dr

Key Tower South is a 13-story beachfront condominium completed in 1970 and comprised primarily of two-bedroom residences. The property presents a mid-century high-rise profile with private and corner units that emphasize wide sightlines to the Gulf, Sarasota Bay and downtown via large windows and sliding glass doors. Interior features commonly found across units include open living/dining plans, enclosed Florida rooms or lanais, tile and wood flooring, built-in cabinetry, wet/dry bars, granite or stone counters, walk-in closets and upgraded mechanicals in many residences. Shared spaces were modernized recently and include a staffed lobby, fitness room, library/social room with catering kitchen, locker and storage areas, and sauna and shower facilities. Outdoors the building fronts 201 feet of white-sand beach with a gated heated pool, expansive sundeck, direct beach access, barbecue and outdoor shower; covered assigned parking and a private storage locker system serve residents. The community enforces rental minimums and pet policies as part of condominium governance; hurricane-impact windows and shutters have been installed in several units and the association provides on-site management and maintenance. Located on Lido Key, the building sits within walking or short cycling distance of St. Armands Circle, South Lido Park and the Ringling Bridge connection to downtown Sarasota, supporting an active beach-oriented, cultural and dining lifestyle.
