About this home
688 GOLDEN GATE POINT UNIT 801
Virtually Staged. Under Construction. Welcome to SIX88 — and the crown jewel of Golden Gate Point. The Penthouse at Residence 801 is the pinnacle of this landmark 10-story boutique tower, offering an extraordinary 4,618 square feet of refined living across 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a private office, and a wine/beverage room — one of just 10 exclusive residences in one of Sarasota's most coveted waterfront addresses. Soaring above the bay with unobstructed, panoramic full-bay views, this penthouse delivers a living experience unlike anything else in the market. The breathtaking great room opens to two private wraparound balconies totaling 638 square feet, where sweeping bay views, glittering city lights, and Sarasota's legendary sunsets become the backdrop of everyday life. Whether sipping morning coffee as the sun rises over the water or entertaining under the stars, the outdoor living space here is truly unmatched — and that's before stepping up to your exclusive 1,011-square-foot private rooftop terrace, a sky-high retreat with a full outdoor kitchen and 360° views that is yours alone. Privacy is paramount — a secure, fob-activated elevator grants direct access only to your designated floor, opening into the residence and delivering a seamless blend of luxury, privacy, and peace of mind. Inside, find Thermador panel-ready appliances, custom cabinetry, designer finishes, engineered hardwood in the primary suite, spa-inspired fully tiled bathrooms, and a dedicated wine room for the discerning collector. Your private 4-car garage can be enhanced with vehicle lifts for additional capacity, while a deeded boat slip puts the bay at your fingertips. Resort-style amenities include a heated pool, fitness center, community lounge, twin elevators, and gated security — all with remarkably low HOA fees. Nestled in the secluded enclave of Golden Gate Point, you are steps from downtown Sarasota's finest dining and shopping, St. Armands Circle, and the Bay Runner. This is not just a residence — it is a legacy.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
