Beautifully renovated and offered by its original owners, VUE 1709 presents the true pinnacle of luxury living at the center of Sarasota's rich cultural amenities. This corner unit is the largest 2-bedroom plus den in the building, with nearly 2,400 A/C square feet, exceptional upgrades at every turn and an ideal orientation for breathtaking views. Bespoke doors from the private elevator vestibule make a magnificent first impression leading to the spacious floorplan and absolutely spectacular elevated vistas over Sarasota Bay and the cityscape. Dramatic 11' ceilings and full-height glass walls and sliders showcase the long-range views and enhance the generous scale of the interior. The primary suite is a personal oasis with a spa-style bath and large walk-in closet. Thoughtful modifications to the second en-suite bedroom have expanded its closet to a sizeable walk-in. Technically a third bedroom, the separate den offers valuable additional space as an office, a media lounge, or library with custom built-ins and room for occasional guests. Luxurious appointments throughout include beautiful diagonally-laid wood floors, designer wall coverings and lighting, custom motorized window shades, and premium fixtures and finishes. A built-in 280-bottle wine refrigerator adds value for collectors and hospitality alongside the gourmet kitchen that was fully customized with quartz surfaces, top-line appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Renowned for its resort-style amenities and elegant contemporary style, VUE is enviably located and appointed for extraordinary comfort and convenience. With two en suite bedrooms and a separate half bath, meticulous maintenance from its original owners, exquisite upgrades, and the conveniences of 2 under-building parking spaces and secure, climate-controlled storage, this high-floor residence is a distinct opportunity to acquire the finest in Downtown living.
