1165 Vereda Verde, Central Sarasota, FL 34232

Property Description

Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street on 1.3 lushly landscaped acres, this private Sarasota retreat feels worlds away from the ordinary. Blending farmhouse warmth with the character and comfort of a mountain lodge, 1165 Vereda Verde is a rare hidden gem offering exceptional privacy, flexible living spaces and a setting designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Surrounded by mature trees and natural greenery with virtually no neighboring homes in sight, the property creates a peaceful compound-like atmosphere rarely found this close to the heart of Sarasota. A large wraparound covered porch welcomes you inside where rich hardwood flooring, soaring pine plank cathedral ceilings, shiplap accents, and dramatic stone fireplaces create a warm and inviting feel throughout the home. The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a spacious entertainer’s kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, center island seating, a built-in desk area, and generous storage. The owner’s suite offers its private retreat with soaring ceilings, a fireplace, French doors opening to the lanai, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The covered and screened lanai overlooks a sparkling heated saltwater pool and spa with an oversized sun shelf and expansive paver decking, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings in complete privacy. Adding even more versatility is the detached bonus space, complete with soaring pine plank ceilings, multiple French doors and endless possibilities as a media room, gym, art studio, office, recreation space or creative retreat. An oversized detached garage and abundant room for boats, RVs, recreational vehicles, or hobbies further enhance the property’s flexibility. With no HOA or flood zone restrictions and a surprisingly central Sarasota location west of the interstate and just minutes to University Town Center, dining, shopping, Nathan Benderson Park and Interstate 75, this is a property that offers the rare combination of privacy, character, land and convenience all in one.
