1188 S Mallard Marsh Dr., Osprey, FL 34229

Outstanding Rivendell residence bordering Oscar Scherer State Park and the widest section of lake (almost 1000 feet) for arguably the most breathtaking views. The lines are blurred between indoor and outdoor living, with a spacious lanai and a sparkling 17x26 pool/spa, seamlessly rounding out days in paradise. Marvel at the wildlife: a menagerie of Eagles, Osprey, Cranes, other shore birds, Otters, Turtles & Deer. The new tile roof (2021) with 10-year transferable warranty adds to the terrific curb appeal with a 3-car garage, paver drive, lush manicured landscaping and Butterfly Park across the street. Every detail in this Oxford model is addressed with remarkable style including double door entry, vaulted deep 11’ and 13’ tray ceiling, crown molding, 8 ft. doorways, column details and all has been immaculately maintained. It’s always about the view, and the living, family, kitchen and breakfast rooms frame an exceptional setting. The kitchen is spacious in design with wood cabinetry, two islands and Corian counters. Owner’s suite features walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom with dual sinks, garden tub, walk-in shower + direct pool and lanai access. The den/office has a double door entry. Three bedrooms on the opposite side have large closets, Jack & Jill bath, with another serving as a bath to the pool and one bedroom. Currently the wall between bedrooms 2 and 3 has been partially opened to facilitate the owners’ quilting studio and can be easily replaced. On a practical note: 2 AC’s replaced in 2017, hurricane shutters provided and there is an irrigation well, with irrigation pump replaced in 2017. Rivendell community has an award-winning, well-maintained, park-like setting with 380 acres of lakes, preserves, parks and other open spaces, quiet tree-lined streets with sidewalks, walking path, tot-lot, gazebo and large, heated community pool. Ideally located near top-rated Pine View School, the Legacy Trail, restaurants, beaches, the Intracoastal Waterway, boat and kayak launches and a new Publix, plus coffee shop, gym, pilates and more. For those that seek an exceptional waterfront lifestyle, nothing compares.
