The two-story penthouse is located in Epoch, between South Palm and Gulfstream avenues. It sold Monday for $11.15 million cash.

But the massive terraces still include what really counts: more than 1,900 square feet of dining and lounge space, a rooftop terrace and tempered glass railings for nearly 44 feet of unobstructed views. In all, the outdoor spaces span just less than 5,000 square feet.

“I can see Anna Maria, Longboat, Lido, Bird Key, Siesta, the Ringling Bridge, manatees, dolphins, the marina, the city, the Gulf of Mexico and, on a clear day, the Skyway Bridge,” the seller, Alan Town, told us when we interviewed him last year.

“It’s the tallest residence in Sarasota, so we look down on everybody, and no one can look into our unit,” he added.

If the views aren’t enough, there’s also a rooftop Jacuzzi,  seating around a fire bowl and an outdoor kitchen and grill area on both outdoor terrace levels.

Seaward Development, a local development firm, broke ground on the 23-residence Epoch in 2019. Nichols Architects from Coral Gables designed the project. At the time, condos in the high-rise ranged from 3,680 to 5,650 square feet and were listed at prices ranging from $3.3 million to $8.5 million. Town paid $9.74 million for it in May 2021.
