Nature is Your Neighbor 

Here's a lovely home, built by Lee Wetherington, one of the finest builders in Sarasota Florida.  It's a newer home located in the town of Osprey which is an up and coming area of Sarasota. 

This is the formal living room with an acquarium glass window and hardwood floors.

The home has 2832 Square Feet of air conditioned living space.  Outside you have a paver brick driveway and walkway and Mediterranean architecture with barrel tile roof and arches.  In the back, the views of the Oscar Scherer State Park are phenomenal.  You won't believe how peaceful it is here.

Stepping inside, there is a formal living area and to the left, a formal dining room, both with beautiful, gleaming hardwood floors.  The right wing has a luxurious master suite with two huge walk in closets and a lovely sitting area where you can read your book (or write your book!)  The master bath has a separate tub and shower and dual sinks.  Also in the right wing of the home is a spacious den that can be used for an office or library.

The center of the home has an outstanding kitchen with granite counter tops and wood cabinets.  Most cabinets have pull out drawers for your convenience.  The position of the island cooktop is perfect for views to the outdoors.  The kitchen island is a perfect spot to pull up a chair and have your breakfast or lunch.  This area of the home also includes a breakfast area and is open to the family room.  One of the best features of this home is the corner opening sliding glass door.  The entire room opens to the outdoors and is so fantastic for entertaining.

Let's talk about the outdoors here since we're on the subject.  The caged lanai area has brick paver flooring and a beautiful, sparkling pool.  The entire area has been expanded 6 feet and is just a wonderful area for families or for entertaining your guests.  A wide, expansive view of the Oscar Scherer State Park provides for peace and tranquility, privacy and the entertainment of nature.  It's truly indescribable!

Moving back inside the home, the left wing of this home has three additional bedrooms and two additional baths.

Some outstanding features include step ceilings, arched niches, 3-way vanity mirror in Master Suite, decorator light fixtures and Cat 5 wiring.  A pest guard "through the wall" pest control is also included

The community is awesome!  It's maintenance free, so if you're looking for a second home, you can just set your alarm, close the door and leave. No worries!  The fees for the community are very reasonable.  Only $260 per month, covers all your landscaping, your Internet (Verizon fibre optics) and TV (Comcast) plus the use of the community center which has a fitness room, pool, tot lot and basketball court.  The fee also includes potable water for your sprinklers and outdoor pest control.

All in all, this outstanding home at 672 Crane Prairie Way, in Osprey FL is a BEST BUY for the area.  Come see!

This beautiful home is located in a maintenance free community. That means you pay an Homeowners Assocation Fee of $260 per month and your lawn, bushes, outdoor pest control and sprinklers are included.  Also included in the fee are Verizon FIOS Internet and Comcast Cable TV as well as a Fitness Center, tot lot, basketball court and heated community pool and spa.

The kitchen, family room and breakfast area are all in one space for the ultimate in entertaining.  Note the sliding glass door to the right.  That is a corner opening door which completely opens to allow the outdoor space to become part of your overall living experience.

An outstanding value in this neighborhood for only $569,000.

If you have gifted children, you will want them to attend Pineview School.  Many of the children in this neighborhood walk there or ride their bikes.  In fact, I ride my bike through the school grounds a few times every week!  Laurel/Nokomis School and Venice High School are both A rated schools as well and this home is located in that school district.  You can tour the neighborhood of Willowbend here.

For shopping, there is a brand new super Wal Mart in Osprey and about 2 miles up the road toward Sarasota is the Westfield Shopping Mall.  If you prefer, you can head south on US41 and shop in Venice where you'll find everything from small boutique shops and fine restuarants, to the TJ MAXX Home Store.  There's everything you need within a few short miles.

The Nokomis Public Beach is exactly 3.8 miles from this home.  And there's plenty of fishing and boating. 

Osprey Florida has the Osprey Inn at 1600 Tamiami Trail, which is a convenient location to this beautiful home.  There are other hotels in Sarasota and Venice.  Sarasota has a Hyatt Regency, a Ritz Carlton and many more within just a few miles of Osprey.
