Multi-Million Dollar direct Bayfront Views for under a $1m! *View the video tour so you can appreciate just how special this home is*. This unique gated and secluded bay front property with mature trees, on over half an acre, exemplifies the best of Florida’s coastal lifestyle. The original home, transformed into the airy and aptly named Bayview Cottage, was completely restored in 2011, capturing a West Indies feel, with a 40 foot veranda that looks out onto dramatic bay views and sunsets. As part of the renovation, the home size was increased an additional 30%, and half of the ceilings were raised to exposed architectural beams that enhance the bay front coastal atmosphere. The owner-designer has cleverly maintained the original home’s charm while renovating it entirely with modern amenities, stainless steel appliances and travertine floors. The flexible floorplan includes 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus a family room and den with separate entrance that could be used as a separate apartment. This home is perfectly suited to live in as it is, but offered at a competitive price point, so buyers can further customize this stylish home to their exact taste, or even build a brand new home on the property if you choose. You’ll find neighboring Bayfront homes selling up to and above $3m, so at this price you can’t go wrong. Situated close to all that Osprey and Sarasota have to offer, you are minutes to Pine View School, Sarasota Crew, Spanish Point and the best beaches around.
