About this home

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Remember when homes were built with generous room sizes, soaring ceilings, oversized lots, and driveways that actually fit guests? This is one of those homes - This is the smarter alternative to new construction...built before builders started shrinking everything. If you've toured today's new builds, you've likely noticed the smaller lots, narrower driveways, the so called "2 car garage", lower ceilings, cookie-cutter floor plans and underestimated HOA fees that increase after being built out and surprising you with a much larger mortgage payment then you originally anticipated. This beautifully updated home offers something that's becoming increasingly difficult to find—space to breathe (both inside and out), space to park and space to play. From the moment you step inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive living areas create an open, bright and airy feeling that many newer homes simply can't replicate. Situated on an oversized 10,585-square-foot homesite, you'll enjoy mature landscaping, a spacious driveway for 4+cars, room to add the outdoor area and pool of your dreams, and the flexibility to install a privacy fence—features that often come with significant premiums or aren't available in many newer communities. The thoughtfully designed split floor plan includes three bedrooms, a dedicated office, and over 2,000 square feet of living space with larger room sizes and closets designed for comfortable everyday living rather than maximizing builder density. Peace of mind comes from major recent improvements, including a new roof (2021), a new 5-ton HVAC system (2021), remodeled kitchen (2022), fresh exterior paint (2022), and brand-new bedroom carpeting in 2026. Located in one of the area's most desirable locations, you'll enjoy a Sarasota address with the advantages of Manatee County while being just minutes from UTC, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, world-class beaches, shopping, dining, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Riomar's quarterly HOA provides exceptional value by including high-speed internet, an extensive cable package, home security, irrigation water, and access to the community pool.
