185 Windward Dr., Osprey, FL 34229

This is a stunning Southbay residence, incredibly renovated, with an elevation that remarkably does not require Flood Insurance. The large lot with a pool in sunny southern exposure backs to a lovely greenbelt. Incredible upgrades include major improvements done in 2006, with new roof, impact PGT hurricane windows and doors, engineered hardwood floors, plumbing, wiring and more. No expenses were spared with over $600,000 in improvements. Gorgeous kitchen with top-of-the-line cabinetry, enormous granite island, adjacent to the family room with flexible floor plan for dining spaces. Truly a work of art, this home is extravagant yet practical with the air conditioner and ductwork replaced in 2014, custom closets, custom wood cabinetry, trim, molding, marble, limestone, recessed lighting for artwork and solid wood doors. Outside is as compelling as the interior with an extended paver lanai surrounded by a resurfaced pool, newer lanai cage, downlighting and lush landscaping. The fourth bedroom has a separate entrance off the patio, perfect for an office, art studio and guests. Southbay Yacht and Racquet Club is a premier boating community that can accommodate vessels up to 60 feet for a very small fee. Additional amenities include tennis courts, pickle ball, playground, clubhouse, bayfront park and acres of trails. This home is minutes to beaches, downtown Sarasota, Venice and Pine View School.
