About this home
Set within Whispering Crane, a gated 36-home community just south of the University Parkway corridor, this 2,511-square-foot Sarasota residence offers a functional single-level floor plan with three bedrooms, three baths and a large office. The location provides convenient access to University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, cultural venues, dining, shopping, outdoor recreation and area beaches. Interior spaces are designed for everyday comfort and entertaining, with high ceilings, natural light, tile flooring in the main living areas and defined spaces for gathering, dining and work. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook and connection to the main living area. The primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, engineered wood flooring and a bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and two baths provide flexibility for residents, visitors or extended stays. Additional features include an oversized laundry room with utility sink and storage, an oversized garage with space for vehicles, tools or recreational equipment and a screened lanai for outdoor dining or relaxation. The home’s no-pool design supports lower-maintenance outdoor living while preserving usable exterior space. Whispering Crane offers a private residential setting with deed restrictions and an annual homeowners association fee. Prospective buyers should verify all association rules, fees, measurements and future improvement options directly with the homeowners association and applicable governing authorities.
Local Insight
At $219 per square foot, this 2006 home is priced competitively for the Sarasota market, though you're getting a smaller 0.23-acre lot in a planned community with monthly HOA fees—so factor that $67/month into your true cost of ownership. The X flood zone is a major advantage that will keep insurance manageable and likely appeals to lenders, which matters if you're financing. The real question is whether the condition of this 18-year-old property and its location in Whispering Crane justifies the price versus newer construction or larger lots elsewhere in the area.
