Welcome to 213 Gaines Ave — where Sarasota’s classic charm meets contemporary sophistication in the highly desirable Whitfield Estates community. This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers over 3,300 square feet of living space on a quarter-acre lot, perfectly blending elegance, comfort, and everyday convenience—just minutes from Sarasota Bay and the coveted Gulf Coast lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal impresses with custom landscaping, mature greenery for privacy, and a freshly painted exterior that enhances the home’s timeless character. Inside, natural light highlights handcrafted wall panels in the dining room, hallway, and upstairs suite, complemented by designer lighting and remote-controlled fans for a cohesive, elevated aesthetic. Move-in ready with extensive upgrades, the home features a new roof, dual professionally installed SONOS home-theater systems, upgraded hardware, and brand-new indoor and outdoor furnishings. The open-concept kitchen and main living areas transition seamlessly to the backyard retreat. Here, you’ll find a resurfaced pool (2025) with new heater, pump, and equipment, a reconfigured irrigation system, and a custom summer kitchen with built-in grill and wine fridge—perfect for effortless entertaining. Every detail has been thoughtfully enhanced—from the redesigned turf play area with solar lighting and refreshed poolside landscaping, to the remodeled first-floor guest bathroom, new carpet and lighting in the primary suite, and an upstairs guest room featuring handcrafted wall detailing and a statement light fixture. A new washer and dryer add convenience, while exterior updates—such as upgraded pool and shed lighting and granite entry slabs—deliver a polished, finished appeal. Ideally located less than 10 minutes from Downtown Sarasota, with quick access to St. Armands Circle, Siesta Key, and SRQ Airport, this home offers both prime location and lifestyle. 213 Gaines Ave is more than a beautifully revitalized residence — it’s effortless Sarasota living at its finest.
