Phoenix on Golden Gate

The Phoenix condominium is an architectural gem that is set in the Golden Gate Point Peninsula, site to some of the prime real estate in Sarasota, Florida. Built in 2001, this condo is one of the newer developments in the 22-acre peninsula formerly known as Cedar Point.

Sarasota condos for sale in this area that juts out into Sarasota Bay are most coveted not only for their fabulous waterfront location but also for their proximity to the downtown. Bayfront condos started sprouting in the peninsula during the 1990s with Alta Mer and Golden Bay among the pioneers that preceded the construction of the Phoenix. Latter additions to the derby of Sarasota real estate in the locality included posh developments like La Bellasara, Majestic Bay, and Grand Riviera.

Subdued elegance in design differentiates the Phoenix from the more elaborate and grand condo developments in the peninsula. This condominium’s architectural style is simple but modern in appeal, eschewing the inspiration of Paul Rudolph, one of the gurus that emerged from the eminent Sarasota School of Architecture.

The clean lines and blue glass panels that comprise some of the prominent features of the condo not only have aesthetic appeal in the contemporary sense. The floor-to-ceiling glass panels of the Phoenix more than provide an appearance of a blue jewel to the building but also afford the condo residents refreshing views of their bayfront environment.

Counting its penthouse, there are only thirteen units in the condominium complex. The typical Phoenix units are assigned two to a floor, and their floor areas measure at around 3,800 square feet. When available in an inventory of Sarasota condos for sale, these properties can truly be enticing with a tag price in the $1.5 million level. Among other fine features, these residences boast of spacious terraces, ten-foot ceilings, polished marble floors and two-car garages. Their configuration for three bedrooms and three and a half baths is definitely inviting and more so for the penthouse which has a four-bedroom layout design.

Alluring community facilities further sweeten a prospect for Phoenix condos for sale. The condominium is secured by a closed circuit TV monitoring system. It has a rooftop deck suited for socials or plain appreciation of the magnificent views of Sarasota Bay. The condo residents, moreover, have access to a heated swimming pool and spa, a gym, game room and owners lounge. A private two-car garage is also bundled with ownership of a condo unit.

As appreciable, the cosmopolitan attractions in and around Sarasota’s downtown and bayfront district are only minutes away from the Golden Gate Point community. Among these are the shops and entertainment centers at the Main Street Merchants area. St. Armands Key and the beaches of Lido/Longboat Keys just across the Ringling Causeway off the condos can also be counted in for a truly convincing pitch for Phoenix condos for sale.
