Truly the best value per square foot in Whitfield Estates. Back on the market after a hiatus, where family enjoyed the home for some winter months, and after a couple previous offers, fell through due to buyer financing. Now is the time to buy this wonderful home in an area, Whitfield Estates, known as the best value in town due to its proximity to the bay, West of the Trail. The property is suited for a family home, seasonal home or lucrative investment due to its location. This updated three-bedroom, two-bath split-floor plan home has a casual but sophisticated feel. The oversized backyard is a perfect tropical oasis. The close proximity of this home to beaches, downtown, restaurants, boating facilities, The Ringling Museum, Flamingo Gardens, Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, airport and so much more makes it a perfect location. The home is only two blocks from Sara Bay where you can drop in your paddleboards/kayaks or watch the stunning sunsets. This property will attract nightly/weekly/monthly or full-timers. The most recent renovation includes two sparkling bath renovations, new waterproof/laminate flooring throughout, new landscaping, outdoor features, including a fire pit, outdoor swing and daybed, fence, concrete patio and extensive repairs to wraparound driveway. This home also boasts some new and some barely used fixtures, appliances and includes a washer/dryer. The roof and HVAC are 8 years old. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to come and see the property for yourself.
