About This Home
Most buyers walk into a home wondering what they'll have to replace. Here, you'll spend more time deciding where to put your furniture than planning your next renovation. Welcome to a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home where the expensive improvements have already been completed. From the newer roof, interior and exterior paint, insulated PEX plumbing with Armor Flex, updated shut-off valves, exterior hose bibbs, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, this home delivers the confidence buyers are looking for before they even unpack. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the feeling of space. Two generous living areas flow effortlessly into an updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, modern cabinetry, a large pantry, and abundant storage. Each of the three oversized bedrooms includes its own walk-in closet, while the private owner's suite opens directly to the pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A convenient guest bath also provides direct pool access. The backyard is where this home truly separates itself. Centered around an impressive 34' x 16' private swimming pool with a rare 8.5-foot-deep end—a feature no longer permitted under today's Florida building standards—this outdoor retreat is surrounded by an expansive concrete deck and beautifully landscaped grounds. Covered porches, a newer vinyl privacy fence, and pool views from nearly every main living area create an atmosphere that's equally suited for quiet mornings or entertaining family and friends. An oversized two-car garage with attic storage and a driveway accommodating up to six vehicles provide flexibility that's increasingly difficult to find. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in historic Whitfield Estates, this home offers a voluntary HOA of just $30 per year, access to Sarasota Bay Country Club culinary membership eligibility, and is only minutes from Sarasota Bay, downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, UTC, and the beaches of Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island. Even better, this property has proven itself as a successful Superhost short-term vacation rental, offering exceptional flexibility whether you're searching for a primary residence, seasonal getaway, or income-producing investment. Solid block construction, hurricane insurance discounts, underground utilities, and a nearby neighborhood park complete a home that offers comfort, confidence, and lasting value.
