42 Pine Ave., Osprey, FL 34229

This charming, almost turn of the century, cottage has been modernized for today's living. Just blocks from Little Sarasota Bay with its own community dock and pier is this delightful, canopy streets with towering 100 year old oaks and tropical foliage. The picket fenced yard leads you up to an over-sized front porch which is perfect for shading you from the hot Florida sun. From the moment you step inside, you know you have found your beach place...wood floors, high ceilings, and all the modern conveniences of home. An updated kitchen with granite counters, new fridge (2016), newer washer and dryer (2013), newer PGT windows on all the windows, new low-flow toilets (2017), a claw foot tub, new air conditioning (7/2015), updated plumbing and underground electric. As you step outside on the wooden deck, you find yourself under a lush canopy of oaks and tropical foliage. A shed in back has electric. There is a gardener's shade house for potting. The backyard is fully fenced with a fire pit in back. The 50-year metal roof was put on in around 2000. This home takes you back to Old Florida in a new way. One look and you'll say "I'm Home!"
