About This Home

As of February 2021

Ready for immediate occupancy. Very conveniently located about 1.3 miles south of the University Parkway corridor, this spacious home is nestled on a corner lot across from a large nature preserve in the quiet, gated 36-home neighborhood of Whispering Crane.

With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths (2 ensuite), this well designed floorplan provides privacy for family members as well as wonderful entertainment space for guests. The kitchen, complete with breakfast nook and breakfast bar overlooking the gathering/family room and its fireplace, is beautifully designed and appointed with wood cabinetry, granite counters and stainless appliances. The generous use of tray ceilings in many of the rooms enhance the sense of space and openness as does the neutral color palette. Adding to the appeal is the generous use of crown and wide baseboard molding throughout.

The oversized ensuite master bedroom offers a spacious sitting area, engineered wood flooring, tray ceiling, his and her walk-in closets and bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub and walk-in shower.

The oversized, two-car garage with separate exterior door has plenty of storage space and upon entering the home through the garage you will find a large laundry room with washer, dryer, sink, plenty of cabinetry with a long laundry folding counter and closet. At the back of the home is a screened lanai which could easily be extended and a pool installed at the side of the home, if desired, and approved by the Association. Twelve (12) windows were replaced with 150 MPH (Vult) rated impact windows. The HVAC was replaced in 2016 and the water heater in 2020. New floor tile installed on the diagonal in 2021. A whole house surge protection device is installed.

This home is centrally located and affords easy access to the SRQ-Bradenton airport, live theater, museums, dining, shopping (Downtown Sarasota and UTC Mall), outdoor recreation and some of the best beaches in the country.
