Offered turnkey furnished, this pristine lakefront 1,471 sf home is one of only 53 units that share a white-sand 35 ft. stretch of private Gulf-front beach. As you enter the front door, the overall impression is one of volume, light and space. The original floorplan was reconfigured in 2011 to create a spacious formal dining room, a den and an interior laundry room. The flooring was replaced and the kitchen and both bathrooms were completely remodeled. The kitchen has solid white wood cabinetry with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, a breakfast bar and skylights overhead. Morning sunlight streams into the living room with its tongue in groove ceilings and French doors that open onto a large open patio overlooking a spring-fed lake. The den, which also overlooks the lake, could be used as an overflow guest room but currently serves as an office. The dining room is open plan with tongue in groove ceilings and skylights. It opens out onto one of the defining features of the Sandy Cove units – the interior courtyard patio – providing additional natural light and a secluded space to sit and enjoy your coffee. The unit has direct access to a one car garage and there is additional parking adjacent to the unit. Designed by renowned Sarasota School of Architecture master Frank Folsom Smith, the Sandy Cove community offers a true slice of old Florida from the moment you drive through the entrance; the winding private road is fringed by sabal palms and juniper cedars and passes by a scenic spring-fed lake on its way to the azure waters of Big Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. Sandy Cove’s close proximity to Siesta Key Village means that after you’ve spent the day enjoying your private beach, you can walk or bike to explore the shops and restaurants of Siesta Key village. For history buffs, there is a delightful article about Sandy Cove featured Southern Living from 1971 in the MLS attachments.
