2052 Benjamin Franklin Dr

An 11-story, 2005-built gulf-front condominium complex on Lido Key offering primarily three-bedroom residences that often read like private beachfront villas. Architecture and layouts vary from expansive penhouse-style plans to lower-floor villa units with private courtyard entries; many homes include multiple terraces or balconies, private garages and direct or proximate beach access. Interiors emphasize high-end finishes—marble or travertine floors, high and vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry, stone counters, built-in wet bars, crown moldings and extensive millwork—plus condo-scale conveniences such as private elevators to specific units, generous storage and in-suite laundry. Shared amenities are resort-oriented: gated entry with concierge and 24/7 security, a heated gulf-front pool and spa, fitness and spa rooms (massage/sauna/steam), social and dining spaces with catering kitchens, library and game/billiard rooms, guest suites, and a dog run. Outdoor features support entertaining and beach life: covered terraces with summer kitchens or grills, outdoor showers, irrigation and landscaped walks. On-site services commonly include management, garage parking for owners, hurricane protection and storage. Located at the quieter tip of Lido Key, the property is a short drive or walk to St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota’s cultural and dining amenities, delivering an island-front lifestyle balanced with full-service condominium living.
