This beautifully updated bayfront residence in historic Whitfield Estates offers a seamless blend of contemporary design and modern conveniences. Set on over half an acre of direct bayfront property, this elevated home provides an expansive and private retreat for luxurious coastal living. Move-in ready, every detail has been meticulously curated to enhance comfort, style, and functionality. A new metal roof (2021), Hardie Plank siding, impact windows, sliders, and exterior doors ensure lasting durability and peace of mind. Additional updates include a whole-house gas generator, zoned air-conditioning, and modernized plumbing and electrical systems. Spread across two living levels and offering more than 3,500 square feet inside, this five-bedroom home is a showcase of chic design and thoughtful details. A three-stop elevator ensures effortless navigation between floors, while modern stair railings add a stylish touch. The hub of the main level is the stunning quartz chef's kitchen overlooking the great room, where a stone-encased fireplace creates a striking focal point. Professional-grade appliances, including a Wolf gas cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigerator with wine cooler, plus an expansive island with seating and storage all provide the perfect space for cooking, dining, and gathering. Pocketing glass sliders lead to a screened balcony that spans the width of the home, complete with a stainless-steel summer kitchen and ample room for entertaining while enjoying sweeping bay views. The primary suite, located on the main level, is a serene retreat with custom walk-in closet and access to the bayfront terrace. The en-suite bathroom features spa-inspired elements, including a soaking tub, glass shower, double vanity, and water closet. Two additional bedrooms on this floor (one currently serving as an office) share a fully updated bathroom, and the nearby laundry room adds convenience. The upper-level features two additional bedroom suites, including an oversized guest suite with its own morning kitchen, perfect for overnight visitors. The ground floor includes an exercise room, game room, and cabana that access the heated saltwater swimming pool with an expansive pavered deck, overlooking the nearby gazebo and tranquil waters of the Bay. The lush property grounds offer Florida-friendly landscaping and a variety of outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Boaters will appreciate the brand-new dock and 10,000-pound lift (2025). Car enthusiasts will appreciate the garage that accommodates more than three cars, with three bays and oversized workspace. Just minutes from the pristine Gulf beaches, the home is also a short drive from downtown Sarasota and Bradenton. Explore Florida's renowned Cultural Coast, where world-class theaters, art galleries, museums, boutique shopping, and eclectic dining create a vibrant and sophisticated lifestyle.
