RARE WEST OF TRAIL FIND… Mandarin Park is a private gated enclave of single-family homes located near Southside Village, Morton’s Gourmet Market and steps away from Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

The house boasts an open floor plan with nine-foot-plus ceilings throughout. The living room features trayed ceilings and a fireplace with a wall of plantation shuttered windows to allow privacy yet lots of natural light. The living area also features a study. The custom kitchen, with granite countertops, has a breakfast bar, a five-burner natural gas cooktop and plenty of counter space for entertaining, plus a door from the kitchen area to a private side patio area for outdoor grilling.
