Description

Welcome to The Pines at Sandalhaven, a charming deed-restricted, 55+ community in the heart of Englewood, Florida. Known for its friendly neighbors and resort-style amenities, this pet-friendly manufactured home neighborhood offers a heated pool and spa, clubhouse, pickleball, and shuffleboard. And the best part? No lot fees—you own the land!

This lovingly maintained 2005 home offers 1,860 square feet of comfortable living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a home office, craft or art studio, or cozy TV room. From the moment you arrive, the home’s wide lot and welcoming curb appeal set the tone. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a bright, open floor plan where natural light pours through the windows, highlighting tasteful modern colors and thoughtful design.

The living room features an inviting wood-burning fireplace and architectural ceiling details that add warmth and charm. The kitchen is a true centerpiece with beautiful wood cabinetry extending to the ceiling, soft-close pull-out drawers, ample counter space, and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Under-cabinet lighting, a walk-in pantry, freezer, wine cooler, and beverage refrigerator make this a space designed for both cooking and entertaining.

The home’s thoughtful layout continues with an inside utility room complete with a sink, large-capacity washer/dryer, and built-in cabinetry, as well as a flex room that adapts to your lifestyle needs. A 16x18 covered lanai with A/C capability provides a beautiful views of the lake making it the perfect place to relax at the front of the home. While the private backyard—where no one can build behind you—offers space and privacy. For those who enjoy hobbies or projects, a 27x7 attached workshop with separate electrical, built-in shelving, and drawers is a rare and valuable bonus.

Over the years, this home has been carefully upgraded with extras that bring peace of mind and convenience. In 2024, a new water softener, A/C system, security system with keypad entry, and reverse osmosis system were installed—all with warranties. In 2023, a new roof and skylights were added. Additional upgrades include a water heater with warranty, whole-house generator, programmable smart sprinkler system, and smart thermostat. The professionally landscaped yard is framed with custom curbing and illuminated by programmable landscape lighting, creating an inviting setting day and night.

This home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to thrive. Blending comfort, functionality, and modern updates, it offers everything you need for relaxed Florida living in one of Englewood’s most welcoming communities.
