Property Description

Experience the Ritz-Carlton Lifestyle in the Heart of Downtown Sarasota This exquisite three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at The Ritz-Carlton Tower Residences redefines luxury living, offering the feel of a private single-family home with all the conveniences of a world-class condominium. Step from your private elevator into a beautifully appointed, move-in-ready home featuring an open floor plan, designer finishes, and panoramic views of Sarasota Bay and the sparkling city skyline. Two expansive wraparound terraces provide seamless indoor–outdoor living and create the perfect setting for entertaining, watching sunsets, or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. The residence showcases an open, flowing layout enhanced by elegant chandeliers and designer lighting. Nearly every room captures breathtaking views, while the well-appointed kitchen offers premium features including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, and granite countertops. The private primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a spa-style bath and a balcony overlooking the water. Two garage parking spaces—both equipped with EV charging stations—add to the convenience and value of this exceptional property. The seller will pay in full the final special assessment payment, with 2026 being the last year, already reflected in current association dues. Residents benefit from proactive management and strong financials. The Ritz-Carlton Tower Residences has also undergone elegant renovations, including a stunning new lobby and port cochère, refreshed entry and landscaping, a newly refinished pool and pool deck, an outdoor lounge with grilling area, and beautiful mature foliage. New professional photos of the lobby and pool are coming soon. Life here is defined by concierge-level service and world-class amenities. Residents enjoy 24/7 staff, a social room, private theater, recreation room, fitness center, heated pool and spa, an outdoor fire table, and barbecue grills. Direct access to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel offers 24-hour in-residence dining and legendary hospitality, further elevating the lifestyle. The location offers unmatched walkability, with Marina Jack, Bayfront Park, Main Street dining, theaters, Selby Gardens, and Sarasota’s waterfront just steps from your door. This is more than a residence—it is a lifestyle and a rare opportunity to own at one of Sarasota’s most prestigious addresses.
