## Description

### Agent Description
Tucked in the waterfront enclave of Southpointe Shores, 1749 Sandalwood Drive is a refined expression of coastal elegance and modern sophistication in a rare private compound estate in one of Sarasota’s exclusive and premier waterfront communities. Positioned just moments from the world-renowned beaches of Siesta Key, this exceptional, furnished residence offers a lifestyle defined by tranquility, beauty and effortless access to the best of Sarasota. Set beneath a canopy of mature palms and lush tropical landscaping, the home welcomes you with understated architectural grace and a sense of privacy that feels exclusive and serene. The heart of the home was thoughtfully redesigned with a complete kitchen, dining, bar and living transformation featuring Lube of Italy imported custom cabinetry, Thermador appliances including a warming drawer, Brazilian granite with semi-precious stone detailing, Italian marble flooring, and curated lighting throughout. Impact glass windows and doors enhance safety and natural light, with integrated indoor/outdoor Sonos audio, a whole-house security system with 12 cameras (2024), and dedicated electronics infrastructure providing seamless technology integration. Expansive living and entertaining areas flow seamlessly to an impressive lanai with pool and spa, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Whether hosting sunset gatherings, enjoying a quiet morning coffee with coastal breezes, or relaxing poolside beneath the Florida sky, the home is designed to celebrate everyday living and special occasions. This home is two homes from the intercoastal. For boating enthusiasts, deepwater access provides a gateway to Sarasota Bay and beyond. A 12,000-pound boat lift and 50-amp dock service ensure convenience and capability, supporting a waterfront lifestyle, within minutes of open water and two houses from the intercoastal. Southpointe Shores is treasured for its wide canals, boating culture and established residential character. Residents enjoy proximity to premier marinas, fine dining, boutique shopping, and Sarasota’s vibrant arts and cultural scene. Siesta Key Beach, consistently ranked among the finest in the world, is just a short drive away, offering powder-soft quartz sand and breathtaking Gulf sunsets. Major updates include a new roof (2018), room addition (2018), full re-pipe (2021), pool equipment replacement (2023) and new air-conditioning systems (2024), reflecting the care and investment made throughout the years. A rare opportunity to embrace refined waterfront living in one of Sarasota’s desirable neighborhoods, where every day feels like a retreat and every evening captures the essence of coastal Florida.
