About 929 Casey Cove Drive
Extraordinary opportunity to experience the essence of relaxed waterfront living in this iconic Casey Key peninsula bayfront home. This one-of-a-kind home, located on a rare end-cap, cul-de-sac site, provides serene water views from almost every room. Admired by boaters who travel these intracoastal waters, this property includes 271' of recently installed seawall, an updated boat dock, and easy entry/exit from the boat/jet-ski/kayak lifts. Situated on deep water with over 4' of depth at low tide and less than 2 miles to the Gulf of Mexico, this home is ideal for boaters who want to enjoy both the Intracoastal and Gulf waters. If you prefer spending time at the beach searching for seashells and sharks teeth or swimming in warm, azure waters, Casey Key's nearby Nokomis Beach is easily reached by foot, bicycle, or golf cart. The spacious residence is nestled amidst lush landscaping and is reminiscent of Spanish Revival homes prominently featured throughout Southern California with beautiful hand-painted, imported tiles, soaring 12' foyer ceilings, and an open great room adorned with wooden beams and views of water from every window. The spacious kitchen includes a center island, custom cabinets, a gas cooktop, double ovens, a built-in refrigerator, and imported European tile counters. This kitchen was created for a chef who enjoys entertaining. Hosting a party is a breeze with the sizable great room, multiple locations for extended dining tables, and al-fresco dining on the covered patio draped with beautiful bougainvilleas overlooking the bay. Retractable motorized screening on the patio allows for either clear views or insect protection, depending on the time of day. The rear eastern exposure is ideal for outdoor living, offering beautiful morning sunrises without the heat of late afternoon sun. The split floor plan offers the owner and guests privacy with a generous Primary Suite that includes 2 large walk-in closets, views of the bay, and access to a private terrace for morning coffee or an evening nightcap. The sizable en suite owner's bath is finished with hand-painted tile and has a large jetted tub, dual shower, and separate WC with bidet. There are 2 spacious bedrooms with a large secondary bath on the opposite side of the home, a powder room, and 2 additional large bedrooms with Romeo and Juliet balconies and full bath upstairs. The expansive outdoor area includes a heated free-form, saltwater pool and spa with a relaxing waterfall and a large lawn that is beautifully landscaped with tall palms lining the seawall. With over 180 degrees of water views, watching dolphins, manatees, herons, and egrets will become a regular part of your day. The original 1960 home was rebuilt and substantially enlarged in 1997. The owners have lovingly maintained the home with a new roof (2023), new pool solar panels/propane heater (2022/2023), a new seawall with 36" wide by 24" cap (2016), a renovated dock with electric, water, and fish station (2016), a new deep artesian irrigation well (2022), and new paint (2023). The home has a combination of impact glass and roll-down and standard shutters for hurricane protection. The property is located east of the CCCL. Conveniently located to beautiful historic Venice Island, downtown Sarasota, restaurants, shopping, the Legacy Trail, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital Venice Campus, this home provides easy access to your essential activities while maintaining the feeling of a remote tropical getaway.
