The Golden Gate neighborhood in Downtown Sarasota is home to some of the most exclusive condominiums in Florida, and the 420 Golden Gate Point address is one of the most prestigious. This is where the beautiful Grande Riviera can be found, and 13 lucky homeowners have the privilege of living in this gorgeous condominium.

The Grande Riviera is an imposing tower located at the tip of a peninsula that provides sweeping vistas of Sarasota Bay. This architectural wonder would not look out of place in South Beach or in the French Riviera; the Mediterranean styling, pastel colors, spacious layout, and lush landscaping make it the prettiest structure in Sarasota. This is exactly what American circus magnate John Ringling had in mind for his dear Sarasota when he returned from places such as Cote d’Azur and Venice.

Two of the units at Grande Riviera are townhouses that looked as if they were transported from a postcard and deposited in front of the Bay. The rest of the units are lavish penthouses that range between two and four bedrooms built on interior spaces that measure from 2,650 to 5,582 square feet. Pricing starts at more than $2 million.

Many of the units listed at Grande Riviera have luxurious extras such as Sub Zero appliances, fine cabinetry, insulated walls with surround sound systems that play throughout the residence, home theaters, wine cellars, outdoor kitchens, separate cafe and breakfast rooms, formal dining rooms, hydro massage units in the master bathrooms, private elevators, private docking space, and more.

The amenities at Grande Riviera tend to keep residents in the condominium. There is a rooftop terrace, a heated swimming pool, spa, and exercise room that looks out to Sarasota Bay. The closest urban comforts include fine dining restaurants such as Cafe Amalfi and the Etrusco Ristorante Toscano. Also within walking distance are the Florida Studio Theater and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Driving to St. Armands Circle and Siesta Beach takes about ten minutes.
