About 433 N Osprey Ave
Imagine stepping into a storybook world where history and charm intertwine. This unique property offers not one, but two enchanting homes: a boathouse and a lighthouse, each with its own captivating tale.The story begins in 1933, when Arthur Rowe, a yacht captain for Sarasota's prominent businessmen John Ringling and William Selby, envisioned his dream home. He commissioned renowned boat builder Oliver Blackburn to create these distinctive residences. Rowe, who captained circus tycoon John Ringling's luxury yacht ARVIDA until 1921 and later served Selby, retired to his dream—a livable boat on land to remind him of his days on the water.Today, Rowe’s Boathouse and the accompanying three-story Lighthouse residence stand proudly in this historic neighborhood of Gillespie Park, each a testament to a bygone era. The Boathouse, a spacious two-story abode, features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Sunlight floods the main living area through large windows, offering serene views of lush tropical landscaping. The modern kitchen, equipped with ample counter space and a large peninsula, is perfect for entertaining. An open, airy flex space leads to a private terrace, while a spiral staircase ascends to the owner's suite, complete with an ensuite bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the property.The Lighthouse, with its iconic conical shape, is a charming 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom residence spanning three levels. The first floor welcomes you with a cozy living room and kitchen. The second floor houses the owner's suite and bathroom, and the top floor features an observation room—ideal for an office, workspace, or art studio.Located a few blocks to downtown restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and cultural attractions, this property is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Its proximity to Sarasota Bay offers easy access to the ongoing transformation of the 53-acre Bay project into a world-class public space just a few blocks away. Boaters, in particular, are drawn to this property, captivated by the allure of life on the water.This is more than a home; it's a piece of history, a story waiting to be re- lived.
