Property Description
Welcome to 213 Gaines Ave — where timeless charm meets modern living in the sought-after community of Whitfield Estates. This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers over 3,300 square feet of elegant, versatile living space on a quarter-acre lot — just minutes from Sarasota Bay and the best of the Gulf Coast.
From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the home's curb appeal — with a brand-new custom front landscape design, lush greenery for added privacy, and fresh paint inside and out. Step inside to a light-filled interior with custom-designed handmade wall panels in the dining room, hallway, and upstairs bedroom, complemented by luxury ceiling lights and new fans with remote controls throughout the home.
Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof, professionally mounted SONOS home theater systems in two rooms, new door hardware, and all-new furniture — including outdoor furnishings — making this property truly move-in ready. The kitchen and living area open seamlessly to your private backyard retreat, where you'll find a fully resurfaced pool with new equipment (2025), new pump (2025), new water heater system (2025), a redesigned irrigation system, and a custom summer kitchen with built-in grill and wine fridge. Additional features include a custom-designed play area with turf and solar lights, fresh plantings throughout the backyard and pool area, and a fully remodeled guest bathroom on the first floor.
The master suite offers comfort with new carpet and updated lighting, while the upstairs guest bedroom has been elevated with handmade wall panels and a custom ceiling light. For convenience, the home also includes a new washer and dryer. Outdoor living is enhanced by a new light system around the pool and shed, along with custom granite slabs at the entrance that give the home an elegant finishing touch.
Location is everything, and this home delivers. You're less than 10 minutes to Downtown Sarasota for dining, culture, and entertainment, or just a short drive to St. Armands Circle, Siesta Key's sugar sands, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
213 Gaines Ave isn't just a home — it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to enjoy modern upgrades, thoughtful details, and timeless Sarasota living. Schedule your private showing today and experience it for yourself.
