One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Been dreaming of owning a pool home in Sarasota with NO CDD and NO HOA fees just minutes from the airport and white-sand Gulf beaches? Here's your chance! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home exudes charm and character with its custom touches and is situated on an oversized corner lot in the established Whitfield Estates community. A cheery front porch welcomes you in to the home, and the foyer opens up to an expansive great room with vaulted ceilings, wood beam accents, skylights that pour in natural light, and a cozy fireplace, creating an inviting space for gathering or relaxing. You will love all of the solid surface flooring in this home - all floors are tile, laminate, or luxury vinyl - perfect for those with allergies and/or four legged friends! The rustic kitchen is full of character and brings serious personality with its custom cabinetry, stainless appliances including a smooth-top range, a wraparound breakfast bar with whimsical wall sconces, an open ceiling with wooden logs, and a handcrafted log pot rack. The adjacent dining room provides plenty of space for casual or formal dining, and a cozy bench at the bay window rounds out this space. On the other side of the kitchen is another versatile space, great for use as an additional dining area, conversation area, or even as a home office. French doors off this space lead to your private backyard retreat - a fully fenced yard with a screened-in pool and a covered lanai, perfect for sun-soaked afternoons, evening swims, and effortless weekend hangouts. Back inside, a hallway beyond the great room leads you to the primary bedroom and 2 additional secondary bedrooms. The oversized primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with an ornate carved vanity, while two more ample-sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom round out the sleeping quarters. The laundry room is conveniently located at the end of this hallway, and is thoughtfully designed with built-in shelving and added upper cabinets for extra convenience. Throughout the home, you'll find custom details like hand-painted wall murals, crown molding, upgraded LED lighting, and ceiling fans. This home even includes a NEWER ROOF - it was just replaced in 2022. The garage even includes an industrial air compressor, perfect for those needing a workshop space! Whether you're hunting for a full-time home, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity, this place delivers serious Sarasota vibes in a prime location close to everything.
