Annual property taxes are $3,077 and common monthly charges are $661. The current owner pays about $600 a year in flood insurance, which is required, according to the listing agent, Suzanne Greenblatt of Keller Williams Realty Elite.
“It’s luxury condo living; there’s not many for sale,” Greenblatt said. “It’s a bright and airy studio condo in a luxury building with amenities galore.”
The Moorish-style building was originally the 300-room Lido Club Hotel, completed in 1929 and converted to condos in 1980. In its heyday, it was known for its circular nightclub where Sammy Davis Jr., Barbra Streisand and Connie Francis once performed.
