Set within the quiet, enclave of the Preserve at Mission Valley, 793 Vanderbilt Drive offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and resilience in one of Nokomis’ most desirable residential pockets. One of just 17 homes in the community on a quiet cul de sac, the five-bedroom residence, the 5th bedroom is presently being used as a movie room, sits elevated approximately 13 feet above sea level on a one-acre parcel. Spanning 3,954 square feet under air, the home is defined by its generous proportions and soaring 12-foot ceilings, which create an immediate sense of openness and light. Further enhancing its appeal, the property is offered at a compelling value, priced below a recent appraisal. The foyer opens to the living and dining room, which set a sophisticated tone with tray ceilings, crown molding, arched architectural details, and large-format tile flooring, while expansive sliders establish a seamless connection to the covered lanai and tropical backyard beyond. At the center of the home, a well-appointed kitchen anchors everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, abundant wood cabinetry, a large prep island with bar seating, a walk-in pantry, and a full suite of stainless Whirlpool appliances. The primary suite occupies its own private wing, offering a quiet retreat with Hickory hardwood floors, tray ceiling with wood-plank inlay, and a spacious bath complete with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Designed with flexibility in mind, the residence also includes a dedicated mother-in-law suite with its own living or bonus room, fireplace, and en-suite bath, ideal for multi-generational living, extended guests, or private quarters. Two additional guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, maintaining both comfort and functionality. A private heated pool and spa are complemented by a covered lanai, protected by a hurricane-rated screen enclosure, direct-access pool bath and outdoor shower. The professionally landscaped grounds feature specimen plantings and individualized irrigation for each tree, while the expansive lot allows room for a tennis or pickleball court. Beyond its aesthetics, the home is distinguished by its infrastructure. A four-car, side-facing garage includes large workshop space and room for storage shelving, climate-controlled storage rooms, and areas easily convertible to additional living or fitness space. Hurricane-impact windows and doors rated to 140 mph winds, a 24kW Generac whole-house generator, industrial central vac system, new roof (2024), new water heater (2025), three new A/C units, solar air purification, advanced security, and dedicated irrigation well underscore a commitment to long-term durability and peace of mind. Located just a few miles from Nokomis Beach and minutes from top-rated schools, Mission Valley Country Club, the new Sarasota Memorial Hospital campus, the Legacy Trail, and everyday conveniences, 793 Vanderbilt Drive offers a refined yet practical expression of Florida living, one that balances privacy, preparedness, and proximity to the Gulf Coast lifestyle.
