This Lee Wetherington home in Osprey’s prestigious Willowbend community brings Florida’s natural beauty indoors to a casually elegant, sought-after Opal floor plan. Overlooking a sparkling lake, the great room, dining room, kitchen, dinette, owner’s suite and sitting rooms boast one of the best southern exposures in Willowbend. Triple sliders lead to an extended lanai with a picture frame enclosure affording wide lake views featuring a menagerie of birds and animals and ever-changing skies. Inside, every detail has been carefully curated by the original artist/owner, including double-tray ceilings, crown molding, eight-foot doorways, arches/niches, marble inlays within tile floors and custom plantation shutters. The result is a refined setting where subtle color, unmatched quality and seamless indoor/outdoor living celebrate Florida’s unique beauty. The owner’s suite features a tray ceiling, a large sitting area that could serve as an office or craft room, dual closets, a separate linen closet, a walk-in shower, glass bricks and dual sinks. The open kitchen has new stainless appliances, including a gas range with built-in microwave. Granite countertops, plentiful storage and a pantry lead to a large laundry room with dedicated utility sink, workspace and a closet for household items. The kitchen, laundry and pantry spaces are seamlessly integrated to facilitate organized day-to-day living and easy entertaining. Guests enjoy a sunny two-bedroom suite with their dedicated hallway and bath, or you can use the space for a dedicated home office or artist’s studio. The garage is an oversized 20-by-24-feet. Low fees include all ground maintenance, irrigation, community pool and spa, gym, pickleball, and high-speed internet and cable. Nearby Pine View School is top-rated, and the Intracoastal Waterway, beaches, Legacy Trail, shopping, dining, grocery, coffee shops and legendary tiki bars are minutes away. A new Carrier Comfort air conditioning heat pump unit was installed in March 2023. Hurricane shutters and a central vacuum system are included.
