7460 RIPETTA STREET, Sarasota, FL

Set on a full acre in gated Vilano, this single-story 4-bedroom, 4-bath saltwater pool home offers the kind of space and privacy that is becoming harder to find in Sarasota. Tucked along a quiet dead-end street with no home directly across, the setting feels open from the moment you pull in. A stone-accented exterior, wide driveway, and established landscaping make a strong first impression, but it’s once you step inside that the home really begins to unfold. The main living spaces feel bright, open, and connected, with tile flooring, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. A custom entertainment wall with an electric fireplace anchors the living room and adds warmth to the space. Just beyond it, the kitchen makes a statement with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, rich wood cabinetry, and a large center island that gives the room a natural gathering point. Open to the main living area, the layout creates an easy flow for everyday living while still feeling made for entertaining. The primary suite is tucked away as its own retreat, with a large custom walk-in closet and an ensuite bath designed with room to slow down and unwind. Dual vanities with quartz countertops, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower complete the space. Custom built-ins continue into the closets of the additional bedrooms, adding extra function and organization throughout. And then there’s the backyard. Step through the sliders and the covered lanai opens to one of the best parts of the property. A tongue-and-groove wood ceiling with recessed lighting brings warmth to the covered outdoor space, while Italian porcelain pavers continue throughout the pool area. The saltwater pool and spa overlook peaceful water views, creating a setting that feels just as right for a quiet morning outside as it does for entertaining into the evening. Beyond the pool, the fully fenced backyard still leaves plenty of open lawn to enjoy, giving you a true sense of the space that comes with a full-acre homesite. The home also offers a 3-car garage, hurricane shutters, and thoughtful storage throughout. Vilano is known for its oversized homesites and gated setting, giving you more breathing room without sacrificing convenience. I-75, Lakewood Ranch, shopping, dining, and Sarasota are all within easy reach, yet once you’re home, it feels private and removed from it all. With a full acre, peaceful water views, and an outdoor space designed to be enjoyed, this is the kind of home that makes it easy to slow down, spread out, and truly enjoy where you live.
