Le Chateau Condos for Sale

Le Chateau

Le Chateau condominium is a property development that at once delivers an emphatic statement with its coral pink exterior. This condo possesses a flamboyant character strikingly unique compared to typical condos for sale in Sarasota, Florida. This mid-rise condo was built in 1971 and exudes a distinct charisma with its impressive French provincial architectural style reminiscent of Old World structural designs.

The condominium consists of twenty-seven units which share the address 37 Sunset Drive Street, a coveted location in Sarasota’s downtown district where the posh Ritz Carlton is also located. Situated at the waterfront, Le Chateau provides its residents with magnificent views of the Sarasota Bay.

The units of this condominium have been so designed to provide an optimal appreciation of the tantalizing sceneries of the bayfront. These residences are prized for their unobstructed views of the bay, and the choicest of these homes have most of their rooms looking out toward the sea. Gardens and patios too are some of the outstanding features in some Le Chateau condos for sale.

For those seeking a seasonal vacation home from among Sarasota condos, one likely option is a one-bedroom unit at Le Chateau. With a floor plan of 805 square feet, such a residence can carry an attractive tag price around the high $200s. For a permanent home, the better alternatives are three-bedroom units having floor areas of approximately 1,500 square feet and priced between the mid-$400s and the $600s.

A private beachfront is but one of the many superb amenities that can be found in this condominium complex. Each unit have assigned parking lots, and its residents have access to a pool, a fishing pier with benches, and a separate storage building.

Taking short, pleasant strolls to the downtown areas near the condominium complex will take Le Chateau residents to a lot of wonderful places for dining shopping, recreation, and entertainment. One refreshing option is the bayfront Island Park where the Marina Jacks Trail offers long stretches for walking, biking, and rollerblading. There are two fine restaurants too in this area, the Marina Jacks and O’Leary’s.

For a generous sampling of the arts and culture scene in Sarasota, the GWiz Museum, and Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall are just a short distance north of the condominium. The same goes for the Florida Studio Theater and Golden Apple Dinner Theater, both which are just a few blocks east of Le Chateau. In roughly the same area, there are fine venues for dining, like Ceviche Tapas and Bijou Café, in addition to shops such as the Whole Foods Market.

Delightful alternatives are likewise only a few minutes away at the St. Armands Circle just across the Ringling Causeway that also leads to the nearby Lido and Longboat Key beaches. In addition to fancy restaurants, there are more than 130 trendy shops at St. Armands which can adequately complement the flamboyant lifestyle at the Le Chateau.

Le Chateau is one of the landmark buildings in Sarasota real estate for two reasons - first, it is located at the gateway to St. Armand's Circle, on the city side of the John Ringling Bridge. Secondly, its vibrant pink color makes it stand out!
Sharing a location with million dollars condo complexes, Le Chateau is a bit older (built in 1971) and more cozy, with only 26 units. Those two factors, however, combine to make this complex a far more affordable alternative to its soaring neighbors, but with the same views and fabulous location.
The complex offers a community heated pool just steps to a small private beach.
The location gives you opportunities for fun in every direction! Directly across the John Ringling Bridge is St. Armands Circle and Lido Key, with Mote Marine just to the north. A mile or two north on Route 41 is the Van Wezel, GWiz Science Museum and many theaters. To the south of you is beautiful Bayfront Park and Marina Jack. Just a five minute walk away is all the shopping and dining of Sarasota downtown, Pineapple Square, Five Points, Towles Court and Burns Court.
With most units offering full bay views, however, the best nightly entertainment is right outside your window, compliments of the stunning sunsets. For me, the views in Sarasota are the best reason to purchase downtown Sarasota real estate - if you agree, Le Chateau may be a fun and unique choice for you.
