About this home
433 WHITFIELD AVENUE
PRICE IMPROVED | Income-Producing Golf Course Pool Home at Sara Bay This one is already earning. Set on the 18th hole of Sara Bay Country Club, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home is currently operating as a successful short-term rental, and it has performed well on annual leases too. That gives you flexibility in how you run it. With nearly 2,000 sq. ft. on an oversized .42-acre lot, it's a turnkey investment that can convey fully furnished if desired, so you can step in with income from day one. The covered lanai and sparkling pool look straight out over the fairway to the west, so sunsets are part of the daily routine. The space is private, peaceful, and usable year-round, exactly what guests book for and what you'll want when you're in town yourself. Inside, a split floor plan gives the primary suite and guest rooms their own space. Two living areas add room for hosting, working from home, or giving renters space to spread out. Natural light and thoughtful updates keep the home move-in and rent-ready. The location makes it easy to book and easy to enjoy: about 5 minutes to SRQ Airport, under 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota, and close to beaches, golf, dining, and the arts. Keep it on the short-term calendar, switch to annual tenants, or block off your own winter weeks. It's a vacation home that pays its own way. SELLER INCENTIVE: Seller is offering a 1% closing cost credit or assistance buying down your interest rate. Ask for details.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
