About 1001 Benjamin Franklin Drive 201
An opportunity worth a closer look. The seller is ready to relinquish this Lido Key investment and has positioned the property to attract a serious buyer. With monthly rentals permitted, deeded beach access, and a location just minutes from St. Armands Circle, the fundamentals are already here. Past renters have enjoyed returning to the property, while the seller has intentionally kept it off the rental market during the sale. For a buyer looking for a Lido Key getaway, investment property, or a combination of both, this may be the right time to make your move. The seller is motivated, the value has been adjusted, and reasonable offers are encouraged.
