About this home
Discover an extraordinary expression of luxury at The Ritz-Carlton Beach Residences, where timeless sophistication, exceptional service, and the legendary standards of Ritz-Carlton management come together in one remarkable coastal retreat. This residence, fully furnished and move-in ready, was re-envisioned and completely transformed in 2024 with a million dollars renovation. It offers generous proportions, refined European-inspired design, and the enduring quality of Amish craftsmanship. Every detail was considered to create a sophisticated yet comfortable enclave—a private sanctuary. Breathtaking views, framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass, capture the very essence of coastal living. Watch nature unfold from the expansive balcony, with sweeping views across a lagoon, bird sanctuary and the Intracoastal Waterway. As day turns to evening, the downtown Sarasota skyline comes alive with twinkling lights, creating an enchanting backdrop for cocktails, intimate dinners, and moonlit evenings. The versatile floor plan offers two bedrooms and three baths. The office/den includes a murphy bed for ultimate flexibility. Two beautifully appointed primary suites provide exceptional privacy and spa-like ambiance. A gourmet kitchen sits at the heart of this home, perfect for refined entertaining or relaxed family gatherings. Ten-foot ceilings, custom finishes, and an understated elegance carry throughout, while a private elevator foyer provides an exclusive arrival experience. The Beach Residences offer an extraordinary collection of amenities designed around wellness, relaxation, work and social connection. Residents enjoy access to a private boardroom, theater, sauna, massage room, guest suites and flexible recreation space for yoga, ping-pong, and more—all complemented by the attentive, discreet service synonymous with Ritz-Carlton. St. Armands Circle is also close at hand, easily reached by foot, bicycle, car, or the Ritz-Carlton shuttle for exceptional dining, boutique shopping, and Sarasota's vibrant coastal lifestyle. Here, luxury is not simply something you see—it is something you experience every day. From spectacular sunrise and moonlight views to private evenings overlooking the water, from impeccable interiors to world-class service, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal beauty, sophisticated design, and quiet opulence in the perfect seasonal escape or year-round haven....
