1632 Stickney Point Rd #201, Sarasota, FL, 34231

Renovated, turnkey 2-bedroom condo overlooking the heated garden pool in the quiet interior of Castel Del Mare, an 8-acre waterfront community along Little Sarasota Bay just minutes to Siesta Key Beach without barrier-island pricing. Positioned away from the road and facing southwest for warm afternoon light and sunset tones, this second-floor residence offers elevation, airflow, and privacy in one of the community’s most desirable interior garden-pool locations. A complete video walkthrough is available, highlighting both the residence and Castel Del Mare’s unique waterfront lifestyle amenities. Major capital updates have already been completed, including Miami-Dade hurricane impact windows and sliding glass doors (2020), updated electrical panel (2016), hot water heater (2023), and newer washer and dishwasher (2024). These improvements reduce future expense exposure and provide confidence in ownership. Interior features include ceramic tile flooring throughout, an open-concept kitchen with wood cabinetry and granite countertops, in-unit laundry plumbed into the lanai (an advantageous feature many units do not have), a dedicated owner’s closet, and rare attic storage with drop-down access, uncommon for a condo this close to the beach. One assigned parking space adds further value in a high-demand coastal corridor. Castel Del Mare spans eight waterfront acres along Little Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Located at the base of the Stickney Point Bridge, residents enjoy walk and bike access to Crescent Beach in minutes while benefiting from mainland convenience and typically lower insurance exposure than barrier-island properties. Community amenities include two heated pools (including a bayside sunset pool), scenic waterfront boardwalk, fishing pier and gazebo, kayak launch, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, clubhouse, grilling areas, bicycle storage, and on-site management. The HOA covers cable, water, sewer, trash, pest control, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and building insurance, simplifying ownership whether full-time, seasonal, or investment. Rental flexibility (30-day minimum, up to three times annually) allows seasonal income potential while preserving community stability. Renovated 2-bedroom residences in this interior heated garden-pool position rarely become available. In today’s condo market, opportunities this close to Siesta Key, with major updates completed and a financially healthy, well-managed association, stand out for both lifestyle and long-term logic.
