About this home
35 WATERGATE DRIVE UNIT 804
Inspired by the luminous glamour of New York’s Baccarat Hotel, Tower Residence 804 is a dazzling expression of elevated living at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. A private elevator opens directly into your own foyer, where nine custom crystal chandeliers set the tone for a residence designed to captivate. The open split floor plan unfolds across three exceptionally spacious bedrooms and three baths, with a gracious dining room, full kitchen, and separate laundry room. Rich hardwood floors, exquisite architectural millwork, custom doors, and an embellished fireplace bring warmth and distinction to every space. Walls finished in high-gloss Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac reflect the light with a polished, jewel-like sheen. Every room opens onto an enormous private terrace, where sweeping views of Sarasota’s skyline and sparkling marina create a spectacular backdrop for year-round dinner parties and effortless outdoor living. Generous in scale and seamlessly connected to the interiors, the terrace feels like a grand extension of the home—an extraordinary setting for gathering with friends as the city lights shimmer across the water. Beyond your door, enjoy the signature comforts of Ritz-Carlton living, including 24-hour in-residence dining and attentive hotel services. On the third floor, an exceptional collection of amenities awaits: two social rooms, a movie theater, a fully equipped fitness center, sauna and steam baths, a massage room, and an expansive outdoor oasis with a heated lap pool, spa, fire table, and barbecue grills. All of this is moments from Sarasota’s celebrated theater, opera, ballet, galleries, fine dining, beaches, and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens—and conveniently close to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Tower Residence 804 is more than a home: it is a private world of crystal-lit elegance, gracious service, and extraordinary coastal views.

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.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property. Condition, floor, view and lot are not fully captured by any model — ask us for a full comparative market analysis.
