Property Description

Beautifully updated and thoughtfully appointed, this inviting residence offers an exceptional blend of comfort, quality, and effortless downtown Sarasota living. Inside, porcelain tile extends throughout the home, creating an elegant and cohesive feel. The kitchen, designed by Cucine Ricci, is beautifully appointed with a Liebherr refrigerator and a full suite of Bosch 800 Series appliances, including a microwave speed oven/convection oven and a full convection air-fry oven, both approximately two years old. A Bosch washer and dryer and quiet, high-volume bathroom exhaust fans add to the home's thoughtful design. Hurricane impact windows and doors are installed throughout the residence and throughout the entire building, providing an added level of protection, security, and peace of mind. The home also features a whole-house DITEK surge protection system, offering additional protection for electrical systems and appliances. Water quality and everyday comfort have been given special attention with a Whirlpool whole-house water softener and filtration system and an APEC reverse osmosis system serving the ice maker and kitchen water dispenser. Premium Moen fixtures throughout include a motion-sense kitchen faucet and temperature-control fixtures in the bathrooms designed to maintain consistent water temperature. Automatic shades in the main living area are Alexa-compatible for effortless convenience. One Watergate has recently completed a major renovation of its common areas, elevating the building's overall experience. Improvements include the lobby, conference room, club room, fitness center, and updated mail facilities, with separate areas for regular mail and larger packages. The heated pool provides an inviting place to relax and enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle during the months when pool heating is most appreciated. Located on the third floor, the residence enjoys a peaceful green outlook with mature trees, views toward the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, and the One Watergate tennis courts. The building has successfully completed its milestone inspection, an important consideration for today's condominium buyer, providing added confidence in the building's structural integrity and financial stability. The location is truly exceptional, positioned at the base of the John Ringling Bridge and directly across from Marina Jack, with easy access to Sarasota's waterfront, downtown restaurants, arts and culture, and shopping. St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido Key are also just a short drive away, putting some of Sarasota's most celebrated destinations within easy reach. Unit 3D at One Watergate offers the rare combination of a beautifully upgraded residence, significant building improvements, and an enviable Sarasota location on 2.82 acres.
