A great opportunity to own +5.6 beautiful acres in sought after Myakka Valley Ranches offered by the original owner! A gorgeous park-like setting that is completely fenced and offers both beautiful oaks throughout while also providing lots of open grassy space to play in as well. There is even a small pond on the property! The main house is classic "Florida Country" and features a wonderful front porch and foyer entry and has 3 full bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and an attached 2 car garage. The kitchen adjoins the dining area and offers a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast bar. There is an inside utility room with washer and dryer and a half bath next to the garage. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a floor to ceiling brick fireplace, custom built-in wall cabinetry and French doors that opens onto an enclosed bonus/Florida room. From there you have access to the HUGE 48'x33' caged pool area with an oversized 35'x17' in-ground swimming pool! The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a private updated bathroom with newer vanity, dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. Once again, French doors provide access from the master bedroom to the Florida room and easy access to the pool area. Both the second and third bedrooms have deep closets for extra storage. A huge detached studio/workshop building (approximately 50'x28') is located at the rear of the property. It is currently set up as a studio with two large open separate workspaces. The first space is approximately 27'x25" and was used primarily as an office /photography studio and has carpet throughout. The adjoining second space is approximately 27'x24' and has ceramic tile throughout and features a private half bath. A fantastic "bonus building" that has so many possibilities or uses! 5428 Vanderipe Rd is a wonderful rare opportunity that does not come along very often in Sarasota anymore.
