Sarasota – Whitfield Estates Pool Home, 3/2, 2-Car Garage

Built in 1963, this 1,736 sq. ft. heated / 2,261 total sq. ft. single-family pool home sits on a 0.28-acre lot in Whitfield Country Club Estates, one of the more established north Sarasota / Manatee County neighborhoods. The home is configured as a 3 bed / 2 bath with a 2-car garage, private pool, frame construction, slab foundation, and Flood Zone X.

House Assets:

• Whitfield Estates location. Established Sarasota-address neighborhood near SRQ Airport, Sara Bay Country Club, Ringling, University Parkway, downtown Sarasota, and Gulf Coast access.
• Pool home. Private pools carry a meaningful premium in this Sarasota price band.
• Flood Zone X. Strong retail selling point with no mandatory flood insurance requirement for most financed buyers.
• Functional 3/2 layout. 1,736 heated sq. ft. gives the home more breathing room than many competing 1,400-1,500 SF comps.
• 2-car garage. Important for end buyers and stronger than carport-only product.
• Large backyard. The 0.28-acre lot gives room to improve the pool deck, landscaping, fencing, and outdoor entertainment area.
• System upside. 2015 roof permit, 2021 HVAC permit, and prior replumbing note reduce the likelihood of a true full systems gut.

Repairs Needed (Estimated):

• Kitchen: full update with shaker cabinets, stone countertops, backsplash, fixtures, and appliances.
• Bathrooms: update both bathrooms to retail standard.
• Flooring: install LVP or tile-compatible finish throughout.
• Interior paint, trim, fixtures, doors: full cosmetic refresh.
• Pool/outdoor area: service equipment, inspect surface, refresh pool deck/patio, and improve backyard presentation.
• Exterior/curb appeal: paint, landscaping, cleanup, fencing/gate work, and garage/front elevation presentation.
