Welcome to classic Mid-Century Modern living in Whitfield Estates! Tucked west of the Trail on a quiet street lined with mature oaks, this updated home sits just moments from the Bay and about halfway between the Sarasota Bayfront and Bradenton's downtown Riverwalk, so the best of both cities is always an easy drive away. Step inside and you'll find a home that's all about the light. Walls of windows and sliding glass doors fill every room with sunshine and blur the line between indoors and out, just the way Mid-Century design was meant to be enjoyed. Arrivals feel special here. A sweeping horseshoe driveway frames the landscaped front yard and leads to a generous porte cochre, so guests can step out covered from sun and rain and roll right back out the other side. The big-ticket updates are already done: insulated double-pane windows, a new roof (2022), a rated garage door (2018), AC (approx. 2017), and a water heater (2023). The remodeled kitchen is a joy to cook in and comes with a charming coffee nook for slow mornings. Out back, the lanai is ready for your green thumb, with space to fill with potted plants, herbs, and flowers. The large yard offers room to roam and comes with a swing set already in place.
