Rare Sixth-Floor Condominium Unit Where Sarasota Bay Views Meet Elevated Downtown Luxury Living - Perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of Sarasota Bay, Marina Jack, and the sparkling city skyline, this two-bedroom, two-bath condominium offers a refined balance of elegance and ease. The desirable split floor plan is open and light-filled, with hurricane-impact windows and sliders (2016) that frame the vistas while maintaining the utmost peace and privacy. Step onto your expansive balcony with sleek glass railings-an ideal vantage point for Sarasota's most celebrated events, from the 4th of July fireworks to the annual Christmas boat parade. One Watergate is on the tail end of a full renovation, with upgrades designed to elevate every aspect of the resident experience. The exterior and interior of the building have been freshly painted, with landscaping enhancements underway. Inside, residents are already enjoying all-new hallway carpeting, modern fixtures, fresh paint, and crisp new baseboards/trim. A full renovation is underway in the lobby and the clubroom, which have been completely reimagined to provide a sophisticated experience. A state-of-the-art fitness center will soon debut exclusively for residents and their guests, further enhancing the building's modern lifestyle. Expected time of completion: Jan 2026. Secure fob access points and attentive onsite management provide added peace of mind. Resort-style living is part of the daily experience, with a large sunlit pool, two rooftop tennis and pickleball courts, outdoor grilling stations, and a stylish new social lounge. Residents benefit from one deeded covered parking space, ample guest parking, and additional secured levels for convenience. At One Watergate, the best of Sarasota is just beyond your front door. Stroll to Marina Jack and Bayfront Park, or enjoy neighboring five-star destinations including Jack Dustys at the Ritz-Carlton, the new Ocean Prime restaurant, and the highest rooftop bar and pool in all of Sarasota at the Westin. Downtown's world-class restaurants, boutiques, galleries, theaters, and the lively Saturday Farmers Market are all within easy reach. Just across the Ringling Bridge, St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach beckon for sun-soaked days and vibrant evenings. Cultural treasures such as The Ringling Museum and the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall are only minutes away, with Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport close by for seamless travel. This residence offers far more than a home-it delivers a front-row seat to the Sarasota lifestyle in a building undergoing a transformative upgrade. Whether you seek a year-round retreat or a seasonal escape, One Watergate presents a rare opportunity to live at the intersection of city sophistication and waterfront beauty. Come see for yourself!
