818 Southern Pine Ln., Sarasota, FL 34243

This Woods of Whitfield home has been beautifully updated from the inside out. From the electrical systems, (200 amp service with a 150 amp sub-panel in the shed that could just be your future pool house), to plumbing (new PEX manifold system and tubing with a hose in the garage from the manifold – you could wash your car with hot water if you so choose), to air conditioning (new ductwork), drywall, roof (yes, that’s new too) with new insulation in the roof and walls – even the bath and kitchen walls for a little extra soundproofing. It’s already wired for security cameras and Ethernet so you can just plug right in and get to work. The kitchen is new from the block out and finished with high-end, soft-close cabinetry and granite countertops. Fine touches such as two-piece moldings, 6-inch baseboards, a deep soaking tub surrounded by marble in the guest bath, televisions in the bathroom, garage, and lanai are sure to delight. Just outside the sliding glass doors, you’ll find a very spacious, sturdy, screened lanai, perfect for dining al fresco while enjoying the view of the pool, situated among the palm trees in the tranquil, fenced back yard with no neighbors behind. Keeping the grass green is a breeze with the fully automated sprinkler system with a separate well for irrigation. All of this was done by a master builder for his own use and enjoyment – and now all of his care and attention to detail can be yours. If you choose to join the Whitfield Ballentine Manor Association, (voluntary $30 per year), you will enjoy access to Sara Bay Country Club’s dining and beverage facilities – such a great deal. You’ll be close to the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport, a short drive to downtown Sarasota, St. Armands, Siesta Key, and numerous shopping and dining venues in between.
