Welcome to Mandarin Park, one of Sarasota’s most desirable gated communities, where beautiful homes, privacy, and an unbeatable location come together in the heart of the Southside Village area. This beautifully maintained and move-in-ready home offers an incredible opportunity to live West of the Trail without the multi-million dollar price tag. Tucked inside a private gated community of just 19 custom residences, this home is perfectly positioned for those who love the convenience of being able to walk to everyday amenities. Leave the car at home and walk to restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, Morton’s Market, medical appointments, and everything Southside Village has to offer. Sarasota Memorial Hospital is just minutes away, downtown Sarasota is close by, and some of Sarasota’s beautiful beaches are an easy drive. The location truly does not get much better. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained, offering a comfortable and sophisticated space that is ready for its next owner. Recently painted interiors create a fresh, bright feel, while the open floor plan provides an easy flow between the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The upgraded kitchen features beautiful granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and quality appliances, making it equally suited for everyday living or entertaining. The split bedroom layout provides privacy, and the spacious primary suite includes French doors opening directly to the incredible outdoor living area. A wonderful bonus to the home is the flexible space currently opened to the main living area and featuring a stylish wet bar. According to the original model plans, this area can be enclosed to create a small office or potential third bedroom, giving the next owner the flexibility to customize the space to fit their needs. Wow, the outdoor space is something truly special. A nearly 50-foot Absolute Aluminum lanai with a custom 19-foot louvered pergola creates an incredible extension of the home and a beautiful year-round setting for entertaining, dining, grilling, or simply relaxing with a morning coffee. Surrounded by beautiful landscaping, this private outdoor retreat has a peaceful, Zen like feel that makes you feel completely removed from the everyday. It is truly your own little oasis, the perfect place to unwind, enjoy a glass of wine, read a book, or simply soak in the tranquility of your surroundings. Want a pool? There is an opportunity to add a small cocktail pool to the outdoor space. The current owners have already spoken with a pool company and have a preliminary pool design that can be shared with the new owner, making it easy to envision the possibilities. Additional features include a whole house generator, 2018 roof, and hurricane shutters. The home has had no damage from previous hurricanes. Mandarin Park offers the rare combination of a peaceful, gated residential setting with the incredible walkability of Southside Village. Homes in this condition and location, West of the Trail and close to everything, are hard to find, especially at this price point. There is truly nothing to do but move in, settle in, and enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle. This is more than a home. It is an opportunity to live where you can walk to dinner, walk to your appointments, walk to the market, and still be just minutes from downtown and the beach. Beautiful, private, exceptionally located, and ready for its next chapter. Come see why this one is so special.
