Whitfield Estates is an established community of single-family homes in North Sarasota and was the area's original golfing neighborhood. Ideally located, it offers convenient access to downtown Sarasota, the Ringling Museum district, SRQ Airport, and Sarabay Country Club. This thoughtfully designed home features a split floor plan, with the primary suite-complete with a private office-separate from the two guest bedrooms. The living and dining areas boast cathedral ceilings and open seamlessly to the pool and enclosed backyard, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The property's layout offers a unique compound-style feel, with a two-car garage, additional parking, and access to the pool and outdoor entertaining area on one side, while the main entrance is situated on the other. Enjoy the expansive pool area (16' x 30' with a depth of 9 feet), offering incredible potential to become a standout outdoor entertaining space. While the pool is currently not in working order and will need resurfacing along with other repairs and updates, the surrounding generous patio and entertaining area provide the perfect setting for relaxing or hosting guests. The home also features a newer roof (2015), updated plumbing, and is ready for your personal updates and finishing touches. No rental restrictions here! Perfect for your investment oasis.
