About this home
Set on a premier waterfront lot in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, this single-family estate offers panoramic water views of Sarasota Bay, a separate guest house, and the kind of indoor-outdoor living buyers expect at the luxury level. The main residence (3806 sq ft) is designed for entertaining and everyday comfort, with expansive living spaces, a well-appointed kitchen, and seamless access to the pool and outdoor areas, while the guest house (2409 sq ft) provides ideal accommodations for visitors, extended family, or a private office retreat. Comfortable luxury living on a combined 1+ acre lot (there are 2 parcels included in this offering) with a spectacular panoramic water view.
Beautifully kept grounds accented by Royal palms create the feel of a family compound that elegantly states, "You've made it!" The three-story main house has a twin grand winding staircase and an elevator to the second-floor main level. Tall double-trey ceilings w/ uplighting and massive impact glass windows and doors provide an absolutely breathtaking view of the swimming pool and the Sarasota Bay. Built on 38 concrete and steel reinforced pilings, the main house was constructed in 2001, and the windows and doors were upgraded to hurricane standards.
In fact, the owner has a flood policy on the main house for just $1,200 per year. There is an oversized 3 car garage with an expanded work area and 220V power if you have an electric car. Plus, a massive unfinished storage and fun area with non-conforming pool bath below the main living area elevated approximately 18' above.
The completely separate guest house also with views of the bay includes an additional 3 bedrooms, great room, dining room, full kitchen, office and attached 2 car garage. The guest house was built in 1950 and remodeled to mimic the Coastal Mediterranean style of the main house. The pool ranges from 3' to 7' in depth and includes remote control lighting and a water feature.
The pool and outdoor area create the perfect setting for parties or special events. The pool is surrounded by a huge concrete deck that extends as a patio under the cover of the massive main observation and entertainment deck above. There are rough ins for an outdoor kitchen on the ground floor patio.
There is also an additional observation deck off the 3rd floor living room that, with a slight zoom on your camera, provides a nice view of John Ringling bridge. Longboat Key provides night lights beyond the bay, and your own private Osprey nest adds to the natural symphony of life on the water. Boaters, you are less than a mile away from Sara Bay Marina.
Commuters, you are less than 3 miles away from SRQ. Beach goers, you are less than 10 miles from Lido Beach and St Armands Circle. Professionals, you are less than 7 miles from downtown Sarasota.
Kayakers, walk to the Riprap and launch! Be sure to watch the individual videos showing each interior. They are not just slideshows.
This is the first time this property has been offered for sale since the builder owned it. An acre of mainland bayfront land is rare in the Sarasota/Manatee waterfront community. Don't Daydream and miss out on your Dream home.
The main home is being sold partially furnished with a few exclusions. The guest house is unfurnished. Capture the Zen of waterfront living for yourself and future generations now.

Property taxes
✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rateProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
Only 1 closed sale within about 10 miles in Manatee County in the last 18 months matched this home’s type and size. Fewer than 3 is too few for a median, so none is shown.
Limited comparable data: these sales are listed for reference only. A licensed agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Manatee County in the last 18 months. Only 1 qualifies for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 3,806 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 3, 2026.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 7524 Westmoreland Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2001 (25 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Manatee County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 3,806 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $94,250/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $76,750 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+439%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 7524 Westmoreland Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 7524 Westmoreland Drive was built in 2001 and has 3,806 sq ft of living area, 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 7524 Westmoreland Drive in?
7524 Westmoreland Drive is in Whitfield Estates Unit 1 in Sarasota, Manatee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 7524 Westmoreland Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $94,250 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $76,750 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+439%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 7524 Westmoreland Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
