Luxury Living in The Residences at University Groves: Upgraded Builder’s Model Home in Sarasota, FL

The Pinnacle of Craftsmanship and Design

Welcome to an unparalleled living experience at The Residences at University Groves. As a former builder’s model home, this residence stands as a testament to architectural excellence and premium upgrades. While many homes in the community offer standard layouts, this property was specifically designed to showcase the builder’s highest level of craftsmanship, featuring sophisticated finishes and custom details that are rarely available on the open market.

Boasting nearly 3,000 square feet of meticulously maintained living space, this is one of the largest and most impressive floor plans in the neighborhood. Recently treated to a fresh interior paint palette, the home radiates a bright, contemporary energy that makes it truly move-in ready for the most discerning buyer.

An Interior Designed for Modern Lifestyles

From the moment you step through the grand entrance, the "model home" difference is immediate. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows create an airy, light-filled atmosphere, while elegant architectural details provide a sense of timeless sophistication.

The heart of this Sarasota luxury home is the gourmet kitchen. Designed for both the home chef and the frequent entertainer, it features:

  • Abundant Custom Cabinetry: Ample storage for all your culinary needs.

  • Generous Workspace: Expansive countertops that transition seamlessly into the social areas.

  • Open-Concept Flow: Easy connectivity to the great room and dining spaces, perfect for the classic Florida indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

The primary suite serves as a lavish sanctuary, offering a spacious retreat away from the secondary bedrooms. With a flexible floor plan, the additional rooms are perfectly suited for a high-end home office, a guest wing, or a growing family.

Exceptional Outdoor Space and Privacy

Situated on a premium .27-acre lot, this property offers a rare combination of space and seclusion. Unlike standard residential lots, this oversized homesite provides a private oasis framed by mature, professional landscaping. It is the perfect backdrop for enjoying Sarasota’s year-round sunshine, whether you're relaxing on the patio or envisioning a custom outdoor kitchen.
