Under contract-accepting backup offers. Boat. Entertain. Live the Florida lifestyle the way it was meant to be. Tucked behind the gates of Sanctuary Cove, this 3-bedroom + den pool home offers a rare combination that’s getting harder to find—boating access, privacy, and a fully upgraded home priced under $750,000. This is more than a home—it’s a waterfront lifestyle without the waterfront price tag. Residents enjoy access to a private, residents-only marina with boat slips and lifts available for rent, making it effortless to get out on the water whenever you want. Add in private beach access, and your weekends start to look very different. Inside, the home delivers a clean, open layout with 2,230 square feet of living space, designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living area and features quartz countertops, gas cooking, and a hidden walk-in pantry, creating a space that feels both functional and elevated. The primary suite is set apart for privacy, offering a spacious layout, dual vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms plus a flexible den give you options for guests, a home office, or both. Where this home really separates itself is outside. A private screened lanai, heated pool, and a brand-new outdoor kitchen create the kind of setting buyers are actively searching for—but rarely find done this well. Whether it’s quiet mornings, weekend gatherings, or evenings by the pool, this space was built to be used. Beyond the home itself, Sanctuary Cove is one of the area’s hidden gems—gated, golf cart friendly, and positioned for easy access to Sarasota, St. Pete, Tampa, and I-75. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, fitness center, and a true sense of privacy that’s becoming increasingly hard to come by. Add in impact windows and doors, an X flood zone location, and over $60,000 in recent improvements, and you have a property that checks boxes most buyers are compromising on.
