Sandringham Place is an intimate single-family neighborhood within The Meadows in Sarasota, Florida. Containing just 20 detached homes along a quiet cul-de-sac, Sandringham Place combines fee-simple homeownership with extensive association-provided exterior maintenance, creating an unusual maintenance-friendly option within The Meadows.
Developed primarily around 1990 and 1991, Sandringham Place features spacious one-story homes surrounded by mature landscaping, ponds, golf-course scenery, preserve areas, and established green space. Private pools, larger homesites, two-car garages, and screened outdoor living areas can be found throughout the neighborhood.
Sandringham Place Homes
Homes in Sandringham Place generally offer approximately 1,900 to more than 2,300 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Three-bedroom floor plans are common, typically with two bathrooms, attached two-car garages, and generous living areas designed around the home’s outdoor surroundings.
Features may include vaulted or cathedral ceilings, split-bedroom layouts, fireplaces, walk-in closets, interior laundry rooms, breakfast areas, large sliding-glass doors, Florida rooms, and screened lanais.
Several residences also include private swimming pools and spas. Depending on location, homes may overlook golf-course areas, ponds, wooded preserves, mature landscaping, or combinations of water and open-space views.
Because Sandringham Place is an established resale neighborhood, renovation levels vary considerably. Buyers may find remodeled kitchens and baths, updated flooring, newer roofing and mechanical systems, hurricane protection, renovated pools and lanais, and other owner improvements.
Detached Fee-Simple Homes
Although older real estate descriptions sometimes refer to Sandringham Place residences as villas, the community consists of detached single-family homes on individually owned fee-simple lots.
Sandringham Place has its own homeowners association in addition to each owner’s membership in The Meadows Community Association. This ownership structure provides the independence of a detached home while the neighborhood association handles many exterior and common maintenance responsibilities.
Maintenance-Provided Living
One of the most distinctive features of Sandringham Place is the amount of maintenance handled through the homeowners association. The recorded community documents assign numerous exterior components to the association as common improvements.
Depending on the applicable documents and current association policies, association responsibilities can include items such as:
- Roof maintenance, repair, and replacement
- Exterior walls and certain exterior doors
- Driveways and walkways
- Landscaping and lawn maintenance
- Sprinkler and irrigation systems
- Private-road maintenance
- Common-area maintenance
- Applicable association insurance
Homeowners remain responsible for interior improvements and certain property components defined in the governing documents. Association responsibilities, insurance coverage, reserves, assessments, landscaping services, leasing restrictions, pet rules, and maintenance obligations can change, so buyers should review the current Sandringham Place HOA documents and budget before purchasing.
Private Pools, Ponds & Golf Views
Despite its maintenance-oriented structure, Sandringham Place does not consist of attached homes or small condominium units. Properties occupy individual lots, many measuring approximately one-quarter to one-third acre.
Several homes have private swimming pools, while others feature larger screened lanais or Florida rooms overlooking the neighborhood’s landscaped surroundings. Golf-course, pond, preserve, and mature-tree views can be found depending on the property.
The neighborhood’s compact cul-de-sac layout and established landscaping create a quieter residential setting while keeping homeowners connected to the larger Meadows community.
