505 Velasquez Dr., Osprey, FL 34229

So close, and yet so far is how you will feel when you arrive at this four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath hideaway in beautiful Sorrento Shores just off bustling South Tamiami Trail, where shopping, historic attractions and restaurants abound. Yet, once you have arrived in this quiet neighborhood, you will feel as though you were in another world. At the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this beautifully-landscaped property has a three-car garage, pet-friendly iron fencing and a separate front entrance to in-law/guest quarters. Oak floors are featured throughout the two floors and a stone lanai with tiled pool is accessible through French doors from the family room and living room on the first floor. The kitchen sports state-of-the-art appliances, granite counters, custom cabinets, a bright eat-in alcove and full family living area with built-in bookcases. Entertaining? A separate full caterer's kitchen with outside access is located off the main kitchen, keeping the cooking preparations away from the guests. The second floor lanai connects three bedrooms and overlooks the exotic three-level backyard with lagoon, well maintained mangroves and fishing pier on tranquil Blackburn Bay. A center living area with window seat overlooking the front yard equipped with a small kitchen area and built-in cabinetry complete the second level. Looking for elegance and privacy when you want it? Look no further, a fishing pier and currently no docking priviledges, ask about seller providing a 'rackominium' on Blackburn .
