About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to the iconic Le Chateau! Rarely will you see these direct waterfront condominiums on the market. They are a treasure to behold and to own. Sarasota Magazine described Le Chateau as having "kitschy glamour, that has the exuberance of part Miami, part French Riviera." This gorgeous and elegant completely updated first floor 1 bedroom and 2 full bath condo is move in ready. The open floor plan living space and large primary bedroom is a wonderful place to call home or to have as your pied-à-terre for weekends or long getaways from your primary home during the winter season. Upon entering through the main entrance of Le Chateau, you are just steps to your front door and a few more steps to paradise. Everywhere you look you will be greeted by the azure waters of the majestic Sarasota Bay. Every view from this unit is like a moving picture and no two days will ever be the same. Enjoy the morning skies from your private patio, go for a swim in the pool that is just steps from your back door, launch your kayak from the private beach or sit on the grassy knoll with a cup of coffee in the Adirondack lawn chairs and watch the pelicans dive, the fish jump or the dolphins post along the coast. This location and its spectacular sunsets are the main event and are unobstructed by any buildings or future million dollar condos slated to be built in Sarasota. All of your friends and family will want to join you! The interior of this condo boasts a beautiful chefs kitchen with fine custom cabinetry (yes, the drawers are soft close), modern tiled backsplash, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and updated wood grain tile floors throughout. Both generous bathrooms are modern in style with granite counters. There is plenty of storage for your personal items, but if you need more there is an extra large storage unit located in the community storage building adjacent to the front parking area. This unit comes with one assigned covered carport for parking and there are plenty of spaces for guest parking. All of this is located just moments away from the vibrant downtown Sarasota scene where you can experience some of the best epicurean delights, the arts for which we are known or the weekly Saturday morning market. Perhaps you would like to take a stroll over the Ringling Bridge towards St. Armands Circle or just stay home and enjoy the view! The choice is yours, just don't miss out on this rare opportunity.
