Beautiful old Florida living on 1/3 acre in Whitfield Estates, with no cookie-cutter feel. This 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch style home has a wonderful flow with saltillo tile (no carpeting) and plenty of space to relax or entertain, including the 400sf resort style party cabana in the fenced, generous-sized backyard for your family and pets to enjoy. Cabana has automated retractable screens for shade from the Florida sun and has a metal roof, and that is in addition to a large screened lanai! The Master bedroom features a newly renovated en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and direct access to the screened porch. Many additional updates have been made in the last several years, which include the A/C (2018), water heater (2020), windows and pocketing impact sliders (2019), kitchen appliances, water purification system, rain gutters, and addition of an organic mosquito control system for the yard. The floorplan lives large and gives everyone their space, and features multiple common areas including a family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Whitfield Estates is a wonderful, laid-back community that is the home of Sara Bay Country Club and has an optional HOA. It is just minutes to New College, the Ringling Museum, the Asolo Theater, and downtown Sarasota. The home is perfect for all walks and chapters of life--schedule your showing today!
