About this home
420 GOLDEN GATE POINT UNIT 700
Virtually Staged. Rarely available and one of a kind, Penthouse 700 at Grande Riviera offers an extraordinary opportunity to own the entire seventh floor of one of Golden Gate Point’s (and Sarasota's) most exclusive boutique waterfront residences. With only 13 residences, opportunities within Grande Riviera are exceptionally limited, and penthouses of this scale, privacy and setting seldom come to market. Encompassing more than 5,400 square feet of single-level living, the residence was designed to fully embrace its remarkable position at the southern tip of Golden Gate Point. Expansive walls of glass frame sweeping, unobstructed views across Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline and Gulf of Mexico, creating an ever-changing backdrop from sunrise through sunset. Generous living, dining and entertaining spaces flow effortlessly to approximately 2,500 square feet of surrounding terraces, extending the living experience outdoors and providing multiple vantage points from which to enjoy Sarasota’s waterfront beauty. Unique to Penthouse 700 is an additional expansive private terrace offering the possibility for a rooftop-style garden, outdoor art studio or yoga space beneath the Florida sky. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes four-bedroom suites, office, substantial living and family rooms, formal dining, private office, yoga studio or exercise room, flex space, and abundant areas for large-scale entertaining and quiet everyday living. Open chef-inspired kitchen with large center island with gas cooktop, abundance of counter and cabinet space, and views of city skyline and bay waters. Private elevator access enhances the sense of exclusivity, while a private two-car garage provides exceptional convenience. Grande Riviera’s position on Golden Gate Point is difficult to replicate. Residents enjoy an intimate waterfront setting with panoramic vistas, a bayfront pool and spa, personalized building services and immediate proximity to downtown Sarasota. Restaurants, galleries, theaters, Ritz Carlton, the marina, Bayfront Park and Sarasota’s celebrated cultural attractions are just moments away. This is more than a penthouse, it is a rare combination of scale, privacy, terrace living and some of the most commanding water views in Sarasota. For the buyer seeking a distinctive downtown residence, Penthouse 700 represents an opportunity that may not come again for years.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
