1771 Ringling Blvd #703 Sarasota, FL 34236

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Rivo at Ringling rises as a beacon of contemporary sophistication in downtown Sarasota-a 16-story architectural statement completed in 2006 that artfully balances modern design with serene urban living. Encompassing just 106 private residences encircling a dramatic, light-filled atrium, it feels more like an exclusive vertical sanctuary than a downtown condominium. Within this coveted address, Residence #703 has been meticulously redesigned and refined to capture the essence of effortless luxury. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout-complemented by a custom, flexible-use den-embodies both artistry and functionality. The chef's kitchen gleams with bespoke, stacked cabinetry painted to accentuate height and light, while quartz surfaces flow seamlessly into a full-height backsplash that reads more as sculpture than surface. Stainless steel appliances and designer lighting complete the composition, setting an elegant tone that continues throughout the open living and dining space. Expanses of glass invite the outdoors in, framing the city skyline and drawing the eye to an oversized, north-facing 20×9-foot terrace-an alfresco retreat ideal for morning espresso or evening reflections, where Sarasota Bay glimmers faintly on the horizon. The primary suite extends an aura of quiet indulgence. Its spa-inspired ensuite showcases a frameless glass shower, couture tilework, custom cabinetry, and statement lighting that transforms routine into ritual. Plantation shutters filter the Florida sunlight, while direct terrace access and a well-appointed walk-in closet complete the tranquil scene. A split-bedroom layout ensures privacy for guests, while the generous den serves equally well as a study, media lounge, or third sleeping space-ideal for those balancing leisure and productivity. The secondary bath, with its elevated finishes and artful detailing, reinforces the home's cohesive sense of design. Both bedroom sets convey with the sale. Practical touches underscore the thoughtful craftsmanship throughout: a separate, exterior AC handler closet maximizes interior peace and utility, enhanced with a UV light system to promote cleaner air and additional storage for travel essentials. Beyond the residence itself, Rivo at Ringling distinguishes itself with offerings rarely found in downtown living: two oversized, under-building parking spaces within a gated garage, a private storage room, secure bike and kayak storage, and convenient EV charging stations. The amenity collection evokes the feel of an intimate resort-concierge services, a heated pool and spa with sun deck, a covered grill terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and sophisticated social lounges. A fully funded reserve, flexible rental policy, and pet-friendly ethos enhance both livability and long-term value, while dedicated on-site management ensures a seamless experience. Step outside and Sarasota's cultural heartbeat unfolds within moments-acclaimed dining, the opera, theaters, live music, art galleries, and the Bayfront promenade, all effortlessly accessible. For the discerning buyer who values artistry in both design and lifestyle, Residence #703 delivers a rare balance of elevated interiors, turnkey convenience, and a quintessential downtown address-complete with both bedrooms fully furnished for a move-in-ready transition. At Rivo, sophistication meets serenity-a modern reprieve in the rhythm of the city.
