988 BLVD OF THE ARTS, #109, Sarasota, FL, 34236 | $3,000,000

10' HIGH CEILINGS. High & Dry. Never Flooded. No Assessments. Two Kitchens. Expansive Outdoor Living with Pet-Friendly YARD with Astroturf. Compare this condo with the Ritz-Carlton Residences (RCR) located behind the Condo On The Bay (COTB) Community, where condos start at $5M-$12M. This condo has MUCH MORE - FOR - MUCH LESS!

Ritz Carlton Residences and Condo On The Bay each offer tall ceilings (this home has 10' high ceilings), new construction (this home was 100% remodeled in 2025). This home has a SEPARATE CATERING KITCHEN. Only one RCR Floor Plan has a second kitchen - and you will need to pay $4M more to buy the RCR floor plan with a second kitchen.

What’s the BIG Difference? This Home BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE RITZ CARLTON RESIDENCES. This home has UNOBSTRUCTED sunset water views. This HOME ALSO COMES WITH A BOAT that is also in like-new condition. AND, THERE’S NO WAITING FOR A BOAT SLIP at Condo ON The Bay! BOATERS will love the community MARINA with the VERY RARE option to install a private BOAT LIFT, all set directly on the stunning shores of Sarasota Bay. Enjoy this expansive, private, pet-friendly, outdoor terrace with private access stairway DOWN TO one of TWO POOLS, SAUNA, AND NEW FITNESS CENTERS and MARINA…

This Home has 4, 066 TOTAL SQUARE FEET. This home is HIGH & DRY. Never flooded. Not Even Close! The COTB towers have brand new roofs installed in 2025. The COTB Towers were also just painted in 2025. COTB has much lower association dues than the Ritz-Carlton Residences behind us, and there are NO PENDING ASSESSMENTS in sight. Think about this…the (comparable) “asking” price at $3M is far lower than the Ritz-Carlton Residences located BEHIND this COTB home. So, COME SEE - AND COMPARE - FOR YOURSELF.

The Video Tour is pretty good, but you need to see this in person. Just steps outside the front GUARD GATE is the City of Sarasota’s NEW 53-acre waterfront park called "THE BAY" Park, offering a vibrant lifestyle with open-air concerts, movies under the stars, fitness programs, and cultural attractions like the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and home of the Sarasota Orchestra. All of this within a short stroll to Publix Grocery Store and The Rosemary District with some of Sarasota’s top dining spots such as Ocean Prime, Rosemary & Thyme, Pazzo's, The Toasted Mango, The Breakfast Company, Station 400, Wolfie’s, Blvd Cafe, Lefty's, Spice Station, Vino Bistro. . . and many more. This is truly a lifestyle property that lives like no other in the community.
