7689 Cove Terrace Sarasota, FL 34231

Designed around the water and the Sarasota outdoor lifestyle, this Southpointe Shores residence places boating and resort-style entertaining at the center of everyday living. Positioned just moments from the open waters of Little Sarasota Bay, the property boasts nearly 100 feet of waterfront, a newer private dock with a 27,000-pound boat lift, and effortless access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Sarasota Bay. From spontaneous sunset cruises to days spent fishing and exploring the Gulf Coast, this is a waterfront setting created for those who want to make the most of Sarasota boating.

Equally impressive is the recently reimagined outdoor living space. An expansive waterfront terrace surrounds the heated resort-style pool and spa, complete with a sun shelf and waterfall features, while a generous covered lounge and dining area with summer kitchen and built-in grill creates an inviting setting for entertaining throughout the year. Pocketing walls of glass disappear into the home, seamlessly connecting the pool deck to the interior while peaceful water views provide the backdrop from morning through sunset.

Spanning more than 4,500 square feet across two levels, the beautifully updated residence combines generous proportions with an open, comfortable floor plan. Wood-grain tile flooring connects the main living spaces, while high ceilings and abundant glass fill the interior with natural light and maintain a constant connection to the waterfront.

At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with contemporary custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a built-in Miele coffee station, center island with breakfast bar, and full-sized wine cooler. The adjoining family room features vaulted ceilings, water views, and a well-appointed wet bar with built-in shelving, creating another natural gathering space for family and guests.

Two guest suites with updated en-suite baths are conveniently located on the main level, along with a dedicated laundry room. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite becomes a private waterfront retreat with sweeping views, fireplace, custom walk-in closet, and marble en-suite bath. A study and additional bedroom complete this level, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, fitness room, or nursery.

Extensive improvements enhance both the home and waterfront, including impact windows and sliding glass doors (2020), a newer seawall (2019), tile roof (2016), updated electrical wiring, modernized baths, and newer HVAC and water heater systems. These updates make the residence exceptionally well suited for immediate enjoyment.
