1761 SANDALWOOD DRIVE Under contract-accepting backup offers. Southpointe Shores is a premier West of the Trail waterfront community where homes rarely come available. As a dedicated bird sanctuary you will see and hear nature abound. The owners have seen large birds hunting daily in the canal along with dolphin and manatee sightings as well. If you chose to fish off the dock you will almost certainly catch a fish. The home is fully updated and move in ready with an ideal layout. Roof was replaced in Nov 2021, new pool equipment and A/C in fall of 2021, an oversized paver driveway that can accommodate plenty of vehicles was completed in Mar 2022. You will love looking out the sliding doors at the Composite Dock along with a double floating dock (making Kayaking and Jet skiing easy) and 10, 000 pound boat lift that was completed in July 2022. You will enjoy cooking in the large updated kitchen with so many windows to let the outside in and afterwards sit by the fireplace. The outdoor pool is extremely private and makes for a fun dip day or night. This home provides the best of both worlds-you are centrally located with close proximity to shops, restaurants and Siesta Key Beaches, but the neighborhood is quiet and tranquil. The canal is very wide and deep water in all tide conditions and the home is located only 4 homes away from the intercoastal and surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. This is the best value for a fully-updated and move-in ready waterfront home in Sarasota!
