Property Description
Arrive by private elevator directly to the grand foyer of this tenth-floor residence at the Ritz-Carlton Tower Residences, ideally positioned within the coveted '05 stack-widely considered the premier vantage point in the building. This preferred orientation captures sweeping, unobstructed panoramas of Sarasota Bay and the Ritz-Carlton marina, complemented by spectacular west-facing sunsets. Artist-crafted glass double entry doors with custom illuminated accents provide a striking arrival and set a tone of understated elegance throughout. Residence #1005 offers a highly sought-after four-bedroom layout with four full baths, thoughtfully designed for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort. An open-concept floor plan is enhanced by wood flooring throughout and anchored by a centrally located kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances, dual convection ovens, and an induction cooktop. Floor-to-ceiling, hurricane-rated windows flood the interior with natural light, while two expansive terraces extend the living space outdoors for effortless entertaining. A split-bedroom design ensures exceptional privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite is distinguished by a double-door entry and custom underlit accent shelving, an en-suite marble bath with dual split vanities, private water closet and custom-fitted walk-in closets. The fourth bedroom / study serves as a versatile retreat, highlighted by a gas fireplace framed by floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry and an adjacent full bath. A new HVAC system installed in 2025 adds comfort and peace of mind. The residence includes two assigned under-building parking spaces-one conveniently located near the side lobby entrance. Additionally, 2 climate-controlled storage units, one conveniently located just outside the residence. The pet-friendly Tower Residences offer the legendary Ritz-Carlton lifestyle, featuring dedicated private concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, massage and wellness rooms, sauna, resort-style heated pool and spa, private theater, and beautifully appointed social and entertaining spaces. Recent enhancements include a reimagined lobby and entry experience, refreshed landscaping, and an inviting outdoor lounge with grilling facilities. Additional conveniences include 24-hour in-residence dining, a private interior corridor with direct access to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's amenities, restaurants, and spa, as well as valet parking for residents and guests. Perfectly positioned along Sarasota's Bayfront and downtown corridor, with easy access to St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, cultural attractions, and fine dining, this exceptional offering represents a rare opportunity to secure one of the most desirable residences within the Tower.
