Overview
Description
Architectural distinction meets breathtaking bayfront living at AQUA. Designed by renowned, award-winning Sarasota architect Guy Peterson, this exceptional full-floor residence is one of just eight residences in AQUA, an exclusive boutique tower on Golden Gate Point. Positioned on the sixth floor, this 4,100+ square-foot condominium captures sweeping 180-degree views of Sarasota Bay and the iconic Ringling Bridge through expansive floor-to-ceiling glass throughout, creating a seamless connection between the sophisticated interiors and the surrounding waterfront landscape.
A private elevator opens directly into a welcoming foyer, revealing clean architectural lines, dramatic natural light, and a refined contemporary aesthetic. With more than $500,000 in carefully curated owner upgrades and barely lived in, this extraordinary residence offers a level of customization and sophistication rarely found in Sarasota. The open-concept floor plan lives like a single-family home, with generous entertaining spaces, a waterfront dining area, and a beautifully appointed custom wet bar.
The chef’s kitchen blends exceptional design with luxury appliances, including a Wolf cooktop and ovens, two Miele dishwashers, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Custom Cuisines Laurier cabinetry and an expansive nine-foot island topped with striking Cielo quartzite complete this impressive culinary space. The private primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, with captivating bay views and custom walk-in closets featuring sleek Cuisimax poly-gloss doors, two separate wardrobe sections, and a dedicated packing station.
The spa-inspired primary bath features dual vanities topped with stunning azure crystal marble, a soaking tub, and an oversized glass-enclosed shower. Two additional guest suites offer en-suite privacy, while a separate office provides flexibility as a potential fourth bedroom. AQUA delivers an exceptional collection of boutique amenities, including discreet concierge services, an oversized enclosed private two-car garage with EV charging and a dehumidifier, a private boat dock accommodating a 36-foot vessel, a flat kayak lift, temperature-controlled wine storage and tasting room, fitness studio, heated pool and spa, and meeting room.
Ideally situated on Golden Gate Point, this remarkable residence offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, private waterfront setting just moments from the restaurants, galleries, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota.
