Description

It is always about the view, and the view from this stunning Willowbend residence bordering Oscar Scherer State Park is both tranquil and inspiring. The quality-built Lee Wetherington home has living space and breathtaking views that beckon you inside. The great room floor plan with 12-foot double tray vaulted ceiling has marvelous custom cherry wood built-in cabinetry that was crafted from two hand-selected cherry trees. The adjacent formal dining area has an aquarium corner window as does the breakfast area. Some of the many features include travertine 18-inch stone flooring with marble inlays, crown molding throughout with 5-1/4-inch baseboards and plantation shutters. The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances, natural gas cooking and granite countertops with tumbled marble backsplash. Extraordinary 15-by-15 den/media room to the rear of the home has bamboo wood floors, built-in cherry cabinetry and sliders that look out to the lanai. The luxurious owner's suite features a double tray ceiling, sitting area, spacious closet and bath with dual sinks with granite countertops, tub, walk-in shower and separate toilet. Each guest room is separate and has its own bath, all of which were extended by 2 feet when built. The three-car garage with paver drive adds to the curb appeal. The outdoor living is as compelling as the indoor, with a solar and gas-heated sparkling pool and spa, surrounded by pavers with an outdoor kitchen with grill/hood, two additional covered burners and sink. Nothing captures the mood better than serene waterfront living with a menagerie of birds and wildlife to entertain. On a practical note, hurricane shutters assure peace of mind. Outstanding location in Osprey near downtown Venice with shops, dining and theater. Sarasota is just down the road with the cultural mecca of arts, opera, ballet and fine dining. Siesta Key and Nokomis Beach are a short drive, along with waterfront restaurants, tiki bars, the Legacy Trail, as well as Pineview School. A stellar home poised in a coveted, premium location promises a unique lifestyle in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Room Feature: Linen Closet In Bath (Primary Bedroom).
