Neighborhoods
Hidden away just north of Siesta Village off Ocean Blvd, Sandy Cove is more than just a neighborhood—it's a portal to the past, embracing the serene Old-Florida beach life of Siesta Key with its unique blend of history and modern amenities. As a realtor in the Sarasota community, I have the pleasure of presenting a community that epitomizes the best of what Florida living has to offer, alongside a particularly enticing listing that might just be your dream home.
A Local Community Steeped in History
Developed in the late 1960s, Sandy Cove carries the legacy of the Sarasota School of Architecture sometimes called Sarasota Modern, which revolutionized post-war architecture by blending indoor and outdoor living spaces and emphasizing functionality. The brainchild of master architect Frank Folsom Smith who followed in the footsteps of Sarasota Modern founders, Ralph Twitchell and Paul Rudolph, the community was designed to offer more than just housing—it promises a lifestyle. The historic Sarasota Modern design movement's influence is evident in every line and window of Sandy Cove, creating living spaces that are both classic and invigorating.
The community's private 350-foot stretch of quartz sand beach offers a tranquil escape from the bustling world, setting the scene for unforgettable sunrises and peaceful afternoons surrounded by the natural beauty of Old Florida. Living here means embracing the outdoors—whether you're sunbathing on the pristine beach, kayaking from our dedicated storage, or simply enjoying the view from your balcony.
Sandy Cove Condos Are Rare Gems When On The Market
Currently available in this idyllic community is a turnkey furnished Sandy Cove condo for sale, located at 24a Sandy Cove Rd, unit #6-d that promises ease and elegance. This freshly updated unit features a cozy loft with a queen-sized bed, perfect for guests or a quiet retreat. The warmth of a wood-burning fireplace complements the spacious main bedroom, complete with a modern mini-split AC unit and an ensuite bathroom.
The heart of this home is undoubtedly its kitchen, recently revitalized with refinished cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and a brand-new movable island with a genuine butcher block top. The thoughtful additions of a built-in trash and recycling cabinet, along with a breakfast bar seating four, make both cooking and entertaining a delight.
Luxury vinyl plank floors extend throughout the main living areas, leading out to a large balcony that overlooks a spring-fed lake—a serene setting to start your day with the morning sun.
