Property Description
Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood just one block from Sarasota Bay, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a seamless blend of charm and modern comfort. Begin your mornings on the spacious front patio surrounded by mature trees, or relax by the heated saltwater pool in the screened enclosure.
Inside, you’ll find two master suites, each with its own walk-in closet and luxurious en-suite bathroom. A large walk-in shower and a stand-alone soaking tub add touches of elegance, while the cozy wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect spot to unwind on cool evenings. Vaulted ceilings and natural light enhance the warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
This home has been thoughtfully upgraded with double-impact hurricane windows for added peace of mind, a new electric box installed in 2020, and a roof replacement in 2017. The oversized backyard provides privacy and versatility, complete with a storage shed for added convenience.
Located in the historic Whitfield Estates, this property is part of a voluntary neighborhood association with optional annual dues of $30. Membership includes access to dining at the legendary Sara Bay Country Club, renowned for its Donald Ross-designed golf course. The home’s prime location places you near Sarasota Bay for kayaking and breathtaking sunsets, as well as cultural landmarks like the Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater, and downtown Sarasota.
