One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Reprieve at Rivo--a striking, 16-story contemporary landmark completed in 2006--sets the tone for sophisticated downtown living with only 106 privately owned residences arranged around a dramatic light-filled atrium. Residence #703, a professionally re-designed and upgraded 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium with a custom versatile den, captures the essence of effortless luxury. Inside, the improved chef's kitchen gleams with bespoke cabinetry that was both painted and stacked to give the allure of height and space, stainless steel appliances, and statement countertop - backsplash selection that flow seamlessly into an airy living-dining space. Wide expanses of glass draw the eye toward an oversized North facing 209-foot covered and open terrace, where a peaceful urban panorama provides the backdrop for morning coffee or a distant glimpse of the sunset's shimmer from out into the distant Sarasota Bayfront's landscape.Thoughtful enhancements continue in the primary ensuite including a bespoke spa like feel with a glass walk-in shower, high end tile selection, cabinetry and couture lighting. Plantation shutters and access to the main balcony are also conveniences of the primary bedroom, along with the walk-in closet.The split-bedroom layout grants guests their own private retreat, and the generous den adapts easily as an office, media lounge, or third-sleeping arrangement, perfect as a true work space or murphy bed setup. A shower/tub, custom wall treatments and upgraded fixtures, and mirror add subtle polish to the guest full bathroom, shared by living room/den/guest bedroom occupants.Separate AC handler closet is housed outside of the unit itself, saving space and sound; offering convenience during scheduled maintenance too! Included on the AC unit is a UV light, helping to improve air quality and killing bacteria. A little bit of extra space inside of that AC closet, offering enough room to keep luggage or small items for example.Distinctive extras that are rarely offered in downtown living include: TWO assigned, oversized, under-building parking spaces within a secure, gated garage; a private storage room; dedicated bike and kayak storage; and convenient EV charging stations. Rivo at Ringling's amenity collection rivals that of a boutique resort--concierge service, heated pool and spa with sun deck, covered grill area, an expansive fitness center, stylish club room, and multiple social lounges--while a fully funded reserve, generous rental policy, and pet-friendly ethos underscore its investment appeal. An onsite manager and attentive staff ensure day-to-day ease. Step outside, and the cultural heart of Sarasota unfolds at your doorstep: premier dining, theater, the Opera, live music opportunities, upscale shopping, vibrant galleries, performing-arts venues, and the sparkling bayfront are all moments away. For the discerning buyer who values sophistication, Residence #703, with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a full sized den with closet, delivers an incomparable blend of pristine renovation, coveted conveniences, and a quintessential Downtown Sarasota address.Comes with both bedrooms fully furnished as seen in the photos (bed frames, mattresses, dressers, end tables, lamps etc), making the inital move in easy for the new owner.To see Rivo is to love this reprieve!
