416 Bayshore Dr., Osprey, FL 34229

This uniquely-designed home rests on an acre of prime property in the Bay Acres community, overlooking the deep, tranquil waters of Little Sarasota Bay, offering wraparound water frontage. Elevated and built on 40’pilings with a circular motif, this two-bedroom plus loft home features walls of glass sliders that showcase panoramic water views at every turn. Take the winding driveway through tropical, manicured landscape overflowing with native Florida foliage that leads to the entry of this private oasis. Wonderful upgrades include hurricane shutters throughout, newer bathrooms and a new HVAC in 2015. The expanse of the living/dining room that opens to a newer kitchen will impress with its stone-encased fireplace and cathedral ceilings accented by exposed steel beams encased in solid wood. The spacious, eat-in kitchen has recently been updated with custom Neff cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, new lighting, breakfast bar, island and a dining nook. Relax the day away in the master suite offering private terrace access, as well as a newer bathroom featuring granite countertops, spacious tiled shower, spa bathtub and makeup vanity; this space leads to the custom walk-in closet with plenty of built-ins and a granite-top dressing island. The expansive terrace space wraps from one end of this residence to the other, and is just a few steps from the open swimming pool and spa. Surrounded by protected mangroves, the boat dock provides easy access to Sarasota Bay.
