Tucked on a quiet tree-lined street on just over 1 acre, this home has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming private oasis in a great central location. A covered entryway with double doors leads you to the dramatic two-story foyer. Once inside, the hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and large room sizes create an open and spacious feel throughout. The eat-in kitchen is completely open to the adjacent family room and boasts stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, a large island with counter height seating, a desk area, a window seat, and sliding door access to the lanai and pool area. The owner's suite is located on the second floor and features a long vanity with dual sinks and a makeup desk, glass enclosed shower with multiple shower heads, and a walk-in closet. There are three additional bedrooms on the first floor, as well as a large laundry room and one full and one-half bathroom. The outdoor space features a vaulted pool cage, a freeform pool, covered and uncovered seating, and a large backyard. New roof and exterior painting in 2020. The Venice Acres neighborhood is centrally located close to I-75, shopping, dining, the Legacy Bike Trail, the new state-of-the-art Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and just under 5 miles to Venice Island.
