About this home
West of the Trail in Whitfield Estates, this mid-century gem captures the charm and character that define classic Florida architecture. From the original terrazzo floors to the preserved kitchen design, the home reflects the clean lines and simplicity that make mid-century residences so desirable. The spacious great room with fireplace serves as the heart of the home, offering natural light and comfortable gathering space while maintaining its authentic architectural appeal. Situated on a rare double lot, the property offers exceptional flexibility and long-term potential. Expand the footprint, design a custom pool, add a detached garage, or simply enjoy the privacy and space that are increasingly rare west of the Trail. Located on sought-after Westmoreland Drive, just across from multi-million-dollar bayfront estates, this property blends historic charm with premier positioning. Residents of Whitfield Estates have the unique opportunity to enjoy dining at nearby Sara Bay Country Club. For an optional annual HOA fee of just $35, owners may obtain a culinary membership granting full access to the clubhouse for dining and social events (golf privileges not included; membership subject to club approval). Minutes to Sarasota Bay, IMG Academy, SRQ Airport, and downtown Sarasota — this is authenticity, land, and lifestyle in one of the area’s most established West of the Trail neighborhoods.
Local Insight
At $404/sqft for a 1956 home in Sarasota, you're paying a fair price for the location and lot size, but you're getting a dated floor plan with just one bathroom—tight for resale appeal unless you're planning a renovation. The neighborhood's X500 flood zone and minimal HOA ($3/month) are genuine positives, though the age means you should budget for mechanical updates beyond cosmetic work. This is the type of property where your real return depends on what you do with it, not what you're buying.
