499 LONGWOOD DRIVE This beautifully updated home sits on a generous 65 x 85 lot in the highly desirable Sandalwood community, perfectly located between Center Road and Venice Avenue for easy access to charming downtown Venice and our stunning beaches. Recent improvements offer comfort, durability, and peace of mind, including a new carport built to current standards, metal roof, new gutters and downspouts, and pavers surrounding the perimeter of the home. Inside, you’ll find dual-pane, easy-clean windows, 3/4 inch subfloor with additional 1/2" Plywood throughout the unit making the floors extra solid, all covered with a commercial-grade luxury vinyl plank flooring for a modern, cohesive look. The kitchen features a new refrigerator and range, while updates continue throughout the home with newer vanities, sinks, and shower heads, a re-piped plumbing system, and an updated electrical panel. Comfort is enhanced with an HVAC system and dehumidifier (2016). A large shed provides excellent additional storage. One of Sandalwood’s greatest advantages is its low fees and spacious homesites, offering privacy and room to breathe—rarely found so close to town and the Gulf. This move-in-ready property combines thoughtful upgrades, solid construction, and an unbeatable location.
