About 433 N Osprey Ave
The Boathouse & Lighthouse – A Legacy Property in the Heart of Sarasota. Discover two of Sarasota’s most iconic and imaginative residences—The Boathouse and The Lighthouse—nestled in the vibrant, walkable neighborhood of Gillespie Park. Built in 1933 by master boat builder Oliver Blackburn for Arthur Rowe, former yacht captain to John Ringling and William Selby, this property is a rare fusion of history, artistry, and lifestyle. The Boathouse is a spacious 2BR/2BA home designed to resemble a livable vessel on land, complete with sunlit living spaces, a modern kitchen, and a spiral staircase leading to a private owner’s suite with balcony. The adjacent Lighthouse, a charming 1BR/1BA vertical residence, features three levels including a top-floor observation room—ideal for a studio, office, or creative retreat. Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and just blocks from downtown Sarasota’s dining, arts, and the waterfront Bay Park, this property is a dream for investors, creatives, and history lovers alike. Currently operating as unique rentals, the homes flexible use potential—live in one, rent the other, or reimagine both. This is more than real estate—it’s a storybook legacy waiting to be continued.
