About this home

Whitfield Estates pool home on a RARE DOUBLE LOT with NO MANDATORY HOA and NO HOA RENTAL RESTRICTIONS. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,109 sq ft concrete block home in Sarasota 34243 sits west of the Tamiami Trail, minutes from the boat ramp and Sarasota Bay. FLOOD ZONE X, hurricane impact windows/DOUBLE PANE, roof and HVAC 2017, new insulation and front yard irrigation 2026. All on an elevated lot. Picture your weekends here. Pull the boat or RV through the wide 12' side gate and park it inside your own fenced yard, and stop paying for storage. Then head out back, where a covered lanai opens to an 18x36 private pool and a tiki bar under string lights, made for sunset swims and backyard get-togethers. The oversized lot still leaves room to garden, add a workshop or expand the home down the road. Inside, the bright great room flows into a kitchen made for hosting, with Corian counters, a center island, built in oven and separate cooktop. Original terrazzo, crown molding and fresh paint keep the mid century character. The primary suite has a custom walk in closet and an updated granite bath, with two more bedrooms, a separate dining room and a laundry room all on one easy level. Investors take note: with no association approval, no minimum lease and the big-ticket systems already updated, this home works as a primary residence, a seasonal getaway or a rental. A pool home near SRQ Airport, IMG Academy, UTC and the beaches is the kind of property renters search for. Whitfield Estates has an optional neighborhood association at $35 a year, and residents may apply for a culinary membership at the historic Sara Bay Country Club. The Ringling and downtown Sarasota are a short drive, with St. Armands, Lido Key and the Gulf beaches close by. Come see it in person, and bring your boat measurements.
