Imagine a location directly on the water looking out to the barrier islands on the mainland side of the bridge with easy access to the cultural vitality and community activities of downtown Sarasota. Add to that the magic you will find in this waterfront condominium that inspires one’s soul. It’s the pink building Le Chateau, sunrise on the east-facing lanai and sunset on your western balcony together create an inspiring balance to your every day. There are numbers like two bedrooms and two baths, 1,066 interior square feet but they are just facts. Once you walk through the door you will instantly understand the why! It is the view that seduces and captivates you. The only thing between you and the Intracoastal is your large pool patio overlooking the water and the small sandy beach. Fishermen wade through the water early and late in the day lazily hopeful they will catch dinner. Dolphins and manatees capture your excitement as you watch from the advantage of your beautiful balcony. Mother Nature’s magnificence is there for you every day, it’s as simple and wonderful as that. Residence 52 is the most inviting home between the view and its charm. The owners opened up the kitchen when they remodeled, and it flows beautifully into the dining area and out to the front lanai. Both baths have been remodeled and there is tile flooring throughout. It has been lovingly maintained. On the west side, the bedrooms have hurricane windows and a storm shutter for the balcony. The balcony is the heart and soul of the home because the view is beautiful and tangible. The building is from 1971, built of solid concrete with only 27 residences. In this time of big and tall, it’s sweet to have a small community directly on the Intracoastal waterway in downtown Sarasota. Your neighbor is the Ritz Carlton, and you are two miles to St Armands Circle and Lido Beach. Sarasota’s cultural life surrounds you. Le Chateau has its Milestone report and Structural Reserve study complete. Hurricane Milton brought water into the ground floor lobby and damaged landscaping. Remediation is almost finished, contracted for and paid.
