About this home
New Price! Opportunity in Whitfield Estates, Sarasota
Located in the desirable and well-established neighborhood of Whitfield Estates, this original Ruth Richmond-designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features the hallmarks of her timeless Florida style—including terrazzo flooring, an open and airy floor plan, and clean mid-century lines. Richmond, one of Sarasota’s most prolific builders, was known for creating homes with both charm and functionality, and this residence reflects her signature approach to casual Florida living.
The property is set on a lushly landscaped lot with a private backyard and plenty of space for a future pool. Interior spaces include a light-filled living area, vintage kitchen, and baths that retain the home’s original character and provide an excellent canvas for future updates.
Located just one block from SaraBay Country Club, the home offers walkable access to one of Sarasota’s most historic golf clubs—established in 1926 and once a favorite of Bobby Jones. With easy access to downtown Sarasota, SRQ International Airport, and nearby Gulf beaches, this location offers both lifestyle and convenience.
