About this home

Virtually Staged. Enjoy everyday living with the feel of a tropical getaway at Village Gardens, one of Sarasota’s hidden gems. Tucked beneath a canopy of towering palms, mature oaks, ferns and lush tropical landscaping, this charming community feels like a private oasis while keeping you close to everything Sarasota has to offer. Rarely available and beautifully remodeled, this villa-style condo offers an open, inviting floor plan filled with natural light. The great room flows into a completely redesigned kitchen where modern style meets functionality. Natural granite countertops, copper hardware, a farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry with a Lazy Susan, gas cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, and updated appliances create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. High windows and sliding glass doors bring an abundance of natural light into the main living space and lead to one of the home's most inviting features, the enclosed lanai. Complete with air conditioning and surrounded by wall-to-wall windows, this versatile space can be enjoyed year-round as an additional sitting room, home office or reading retreat. Inside, distinctive touches including solid wood barn doors add warmth and character to the bedroom suites, while the extensive renovation gives the home a fresh, updated feel throughout. Surrounded by the natural beauty that makes Village Gardens so special, this is far more than your typical condo. It's a unique Sarasota retreat offering character, thoughtful updates and a setting that truly feels like a little piece of paradise. Move right in, add your own personal touches and make it yours.
