If you are looking for an immaculate, multi-generational, move-in ready estate in a fantastic in-town location with NO DEED RESTRICTIONS, look no further—Green Acre is the place to be! This old-Florida feeling property gives you the living space you desire, the storage space you need, and the outdoor space (nearly 1 acre) of land you covet (with no HOA), all located in the center of Sarasota. The property sits on an expansive 0.99-acre lot surrounded by mature landscaping, providing a serene and private oasis. The main house features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the convenience of a newly renovated kitchen, boasting modern features like an induction range, reverse osmosis system, tons of built-in storage, and ample counter seating that make it the heart of the home. The entire property exudes quality, with a BRAND-NEW ROOF IN 2023, a new water heater, and impact windows installed in 2020. The ground floor hosts a Master suite with an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet, with easy slider access to the hot tub. The living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a large screened patio leads via a boardwalk to a second screened gazebo and an above-ground pool. Adding to the living space there is a converted garage that can be used an additional guestroom, man cave, home theater, office, home gym, or billiards room. (Note: this is not being included in the square footage, it truly is a BONUS ROOM.) **The DETACHED GUEST COTTAGE is a full one-bedroom home with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet, and its own interior laundry room. It can be used to host the guests who will inevitably come visit your old Florida feel oasis, serve as a home office, music studio, or be an income-generating accessory dwelling unit. It is a former Army Air Corp barracks from the 1940’s that was moved from the Venice Army Airfield to this property decades ago and has been lovingly updated and maintained. Adjacent to the cottage is nearly 450 sf of roofed workshop or storage space, perfect for an artist, collector, or sports enthusiast. ** As beautiful as the 2 houses are, the REAL star of Green Acre is the lushly manicured grounds. It’s truly a botanical dream with its Southern exposure and mix of full, partial, and low sun areas. Here you can enjoy the great outdoors under a canopy of trees, do yoga in the "zen den" (screened gazebo), enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub, and overall just enjoy PRIVACY AND FREEDOM that you simply cannot get anywhere else in town. There are several additional sheds and structures on the property that can house your tools, your toys, your orchid collection, or even chickens! While it feels like a secluded resort, Green Acre is actually just minutes to Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota, and Gulf Gate Village, and is in an excellent school district with Riverview High within biking distance. The location is amazing, offering proximity to Bee Ridge Park for sports enthusiasts and families, a quick drive to numerous schools, and easy access to shopping and dining.
