This beautiful, open floor plan residence is located on an oversized lot in Southbay Yacht and Racquet Club in Osprey, Florida. By many, it’s considered the nicest community-owned, deepwater marina on the west coast of Florida. Across the street from multi-million dollar waterfront homes, this gem boasts 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths plus a large den/office and is in the desirable Intracoastal deep-water neighborhood of Southbay which has its own marina with dockage for up to 55 feet boats and yachts. Low boat dockage and HOA fees make this the sweet spot between Sarasota and Venice. With two peek-a-boo views of Dryman Bay from the spacious and airy living and dining room, watch the yachts go by from your living room chair and enjoy sunsets over Casey Key from the large, expanded pool area. Inside you’ll find a stylish kitchen with solid wood cabinetry by Diamond, Yellow River granite counters and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances. These rooms lead through sections of sliding glass doors that pocket out of sight to the screened pool and expansive covered and open-air sundeck. The master bedroom suite offers a quiet retreat and features a sitting area, direct access to the outdoor pool area, a walk-in closet and nicely updated bathroom with dual vanities and a shower. Throughout the home you’ll find Russian Elm hardwood flooring in the main areas, Hunter Douglas cellular window shades and custom solid core interior doors.
