Property Description
Sandy Cove - Mid-Century Modern Gulf Front Paradise: Period-preserved mid-century architecture meets breathtaking Gulf front water views in this exceptional Siesta Key residence. Located in Sandy Cove, a hidden gem and distinguished 1970s development of villas and mid-rises, this fifth-floor residence offers a panoramic vista over Big Pass to Lido, Bird Key, and downtown Sarasota-a guaranteed "wow" moment. Sandy Cove Condos was designed in 1969 by Frank Folsom Smith with James Holliday and James Durden, earning a 1970 AIA Florida Award for architectural excellence. This light-filled, architecturally preserved residence is over 1,200 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a thoughtful split floor plan. Upon arrival, you're greeted by a charming garden courtyard that offers a glimpse into the home. Step inside and be captivated by the spectacular living room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings that provide ample natural light and an airy, open ambiance. Enjoy breathtaking Gulf water views from your living room and kitchen sliders, which open seamlessly to your private patio. The sliders pull back to welcome Gulf breezes throughout the entire residence, connecting to several delightful porches and patios-including an additional private palm tree patio with IPE decking. A rare and highly coveted feature: this residence includes a private one-car garage. Gulf front residences in Sandy Cove rarely become available, making this a unique chance to own a piece of Siesta Key's architectural history. The home has potential to be sold furnished and is offered in as-is condition, presenting an opportunity for buyers to customize their personal vision. Ideally situated close to Siesta Key Village-just a short distance away, this truly unique location offers a natural private beach exclusive to the community, along with a fishing pier. Come see this truly "if you know, you know" treasure on Siesta Key.
