About 213 Gaines Avenue
Welcome to 213 Gaines Ave—where Sarasota’s timeless character meets refined modern living in the sought-after Whitfield Estates. Spanning 3,300+ square feet on a quarter-acre lot, this 4-bed, 4-bath residence blends comfort, elegance, and everyday convenience—just minutes from Sarasota Bay and the best of the Gulf Coast. Curb appeal sets the tone with a custom landscape design, mature greenery for privacy, and a freshly painted exterior. Inside, natural light highlights handcrafted wall panels in the dining area, hallway, and upstairs suite, paired with designer lighting and remote-controlled fans for a polished, cohesive look. Move-in ready upgrades include a new roof, dual professionally installed SONOS home-theater systems, updated hardware, and brand-new indoor/outdoor furnishings. The open kitchen and main living area flow to an outdoor retreat with a resurfaced pool (2025) featuring new heater, pump, and equipment, plus a reconfigured irrigation system for easy maintenance. A custom summer kitchen with built-in grill and wine fridge makes entertaining effortless. Thoughtful touches continue with a redesigned turf play area and solar lighting, refreshed poolside landscaping, a remodeled first-floor guest bath, new carpet and lighting in the primary suite, and an upstairs guest room enhanced by handcrafted wall details and a statement fixture. A new washer and dryer add everyday convenience. Exterior upgrades—enhanced pool and shed lighting and granite entry slabs—deliver a clean, finished presentation. All of this in a central location less than 10 minutes to Downtown Sarasota, with quick access to St. Armands Circle, Siesta Key, and SRQ Airport. 213 Gaines Ave is more than a beautifully renewed home—it’s an effortless Sarasota lifestyle.
