Whoever built this home had relaxation in mind. The shady lot beckons you to grab your gardening tools and wile away the afternoon making beautiful things grow. The Zen-like screened porch entices you to pull out the yoga mat for a bit prior to sinking into the spa. The stone fireplace calls you to sit beside it with your favorite novel… Welcome home to Whitfield Estates, where mature landscaping and charming mid-century ranches commune with bayfront estates in a hybrid of old and new Sarasota. This home sits on a large corner lot a mere stone's throw from the waters of Sarasota Bay. The 3 bed/2 bath home awaits someone who can appreciate its original allure such as the built-ins surrounding the stone fireplace and mantle, and the parquet wood floors (newly refinished!). Don't blend in to the world of stucco and oversized tile - the character and appeal found in this style home resonates with those who say “I am one who stands out!” Located two blocks from the waterfront, west of the Trail, Whitfield Estates is conveniently situated 2 miles from the Ringling Museum and Asolo Theatre for arts & culture enthusiasts, 5 miles from downtown Sarasota, 6 miles from Bradenton's Old Main Street, as well as 15 minutes or less to many beaches. Pull up your Adirondack chair and settle down with a lemonade in the shaded yard of this charm-infused old-Florida ranch before it is out of reach!
