One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 418 Sarabay Rd, a lovely old-Florida home in the charming community of Osprey, with its small-town feel, but just minutes away from all the conveniences and excitement of Sarasota and Venice! You and your guests will be drawn to spend lots of time in this fully-fenced private oasis with its large deck, crystal-blue above-ground pool, and separate art studio or home office. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home does not require flood insurance, has a 2024 roof with “third nail” for insurance savings, and came through our last storm season with no wind or water damage. You’ll love the security of the whole-house generator system and so many new systems ready for years of service: re-piped freshwater supply plumbing, new drain field, attic insulation, AC ductwork, and super-efficient water heater. Wide-open living spaces and a centrally-located kitchen make this a great home for entertaining and give you plenty of versatility to lay it out just to suit you! By car, you are in the middle of it all -- a short trip to the Super Wal-Mart, all the Blackburn Point attractions, Spanish Point and Selby Gardens, plus beaches and restaurants aplenty. All the attractions of Sarasota and Venice are just over the horizon, and I-75 (just 5 miles “the back way”) will get you to airports in Sarasota and Fort Myers -- and anywhere else you want to be. If it’s local color and the balmy sub-tropical Florida lifestyle you’re seeking, you’ve just found it! BOATER-KAYAKER ALERT: the voluntary homeowners association ($75/year) boasts a kayak launch and a small-boat marina right off Little Sarasota Bay for a small additional annual fee. From your own dock, it’s just 1 mile south on the Intracoastal Waterway to Blackburn Point, with its marina, public park/boat ramp, historic swing bridge, and restaurants and watering holes. Just a mile to the north by boat is the newly-opened Midnight Pass with gorgeous beaches and access to the open Gulf of Mexico! Come visit 418 Sarabay Road and come on home!
