265 Harbor House Dr., Osprey, FL 34229

This home has been on the market for some time. Why? The original builders of the home used the first floor as their art gallery and they lived upstairs. The 1st floor has never been reconfigured to accommodate a contemporary floor plan. However, the price has been reduced substantially and is now at a level which leaves plenty of room for changes to fit your needs. Southbay is the community to live in the Sarasota area if you boat or sail or just enjoy an active lifestyle Spectacular waterfront views of the Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club harbor are yours to enjoy from this outstanding home. You are just steps away from boarding your boat and accessing the intracoastal waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. Very low boating fees. 60 ft. yacht/sailboat limit. Overlooking the scenic harbor, this 4/4 home includes a large screened lanai adjoining the ground floor owner suite, a great room with full wet bar for entertaining and a generous 3+ car garage with a large workshop. On the second floor there is a bonus room with 37 feet of panoramic window views ideal for an office. Solidly built home and well maintained, new roof in 2005, dual zone AC-1 new in 2010, 2nd new in 2007.
