About this home

2050 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DRIVE UNIT B704

Turnkey furnished executive residence set high on the seventh floor of Orchid Beach Club, this Lido Key beachfront condominium captures sweeping Gulf, bay, and downtown Sarasota views from the moment of arrival. Designed for elevated coastal living, the nearly 3,000-square-foot layout offers three bedrooms, three full baths, private elevator access, and multiple terraces that create a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A residents-only elevator opens directly into a private lobby, where double iron filigree doors introduce a refined interior filled with natural light. High cove ceilings with inset lighting, custom millwork, wood paneling, motorized window treatments, and thoughtfully updated finishes establish a polished, modern aesthetic. Walls of impact glass frame unobstructed water and city vistas, enhancing every living space. The gourmet kitchen blends clean design with functionality, featuring quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry, center island with seating, breakfast bar, and premium Bosch and Dacor appliances, including a six-burner gas range and warming drawer. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the great room and dining area, creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The Gulf-front primary suite offers a private retreat with terrace access, dual walk-in closets, and a renovated bath featuring marble-inspired finishes, dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Two guest suites are positioned in a split layout for privacy—one with terrace access and the other with its own private balcony—providing comfortable accommodations for visitors. Three terraces extend the living experience outdoors. The expansive bay-facing terrace features a full summer kitchen with a new (2024) built-in gas grill, generous dining area, and ample seating space for sunset entertaining. A Gulf-facing terrace is shared by the primary suite and third bedroom, while the second guest suite enjoys its own secluded balcony. Orchid Beach Club is an exclusive Gulf-front community of just 54 residences, offering a full-service lifestyle with 24-hour gated entry, concierge services, and a recently updated clubhouse featuring a social room, catering kitchen, library, billiards, and lounge. The wellness amenities include a fitness center, sauna, spa room, and massage services. Outdoors, the Gulf-side pool and spa are surrounded by a spacious sun deck, with direct access to Lido Beach’s soft sand and turquoise waters. Ideally located near St. Armands Circle, Longboat Key, and downtown Sarasota, residents enjoy close proximity to fine dining, boutique shopping, marinas, and renowned cultural venues including the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota Opera House, and The Ringling Museum. This turnkey furnished executive residence offers a rare opportunity to experience beachfront living with exceptional views, privacy, and convenience on Lido Key.

Value check

Is the price right?

The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
