Back on the market and ready for its next owner. Welcome to 361 Scott Avenue, a refreshed pool home set on a rare double lot in Whitfield Estates, west of the Tamiami Trail and just minutes from Sarasota Bay. Step inside to a bright, open great room that flows into a kitchen built for hosting, with Corian counters, a center island, built-in oven, and separate cooktop. Original terrazzo and ceramic tile carry through much of the home, paired with crown molding, textured ceilings, and fresh interior paint that warms up the mid century architecture. Hurricane impact windows fill the rooms with light while keeping things quiet inside. The primary suite lives like a true retreat, with a custom fitted walk in closet and a fully updated granite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a separate laundry, and a tucked away dining room complete a layout that lives easy on one level. Out back is where this one really shines. A covered lanai opens to an 18x36 private pool, all wrapped by a fully fenced and irrigated yard with plenty of room to entertain, garden, or expand. The double lot offers privacy and flexibility you almost never find this close to the Bay. Concrete block construction, with roof, HVAC, and variable speed pool pump all updated in 2017. Flood Zone X. The optional Whitfield Estates HOA runs just $35 a year, and residents may apply for a culinary membership at the historic Sara Bay Country Club. You are a quick drive to The Ringling, Asolo Repertory Theatre, New College, Ringling College of Art and Design, IMG Academy, SRQ International Airport, UTC, and downtown Sarasota, with St. Armands Circle, Lido Key, and the Gulf beaches all close at hand. A rare chance to own a true classic in one of Sarasota's most established west of Trail neighborhoods.
