West of Trail in Whitfield Estates, this charming bungalow has much to offer. Neighbors are friendly and welcoming and the neighborhood is well established. There is an access to Sarasota Bay for kayaks, paddle boards and canoes that is also the perfect spot to sit with a glass of wine and watch the dazzling sunsets. The huge back yard is newly fenced and the pool and sun deck await you. The great room is light and airy with bamboo flooring and a wood-burning fireplace for those nights that have a chill in the air. There is a separate laundry room and a breakfast nook located at either end of a roomy and bright kitchen. The metal roof was added in March of this year (2020) along with fresh exterior paint and a no maintenance front yard. If you are a boater, a marina is just down the street and the location of the home is midway between Sarasota and Bradenton, making it a quick trip to either city. A voluntary neighborhood association is available for $30 annually and offers 6 meetings a year, neighborhood events and an annual Holiday Party. You also receive a complimentary Culinary Membership at Sara Bay Country Club, allowing you to dine there. The food is marvelous. Come see this charming home today. You will want to make it you own.
