Fleming Island, Florida is one of Northeast Florida's premier communities offering top rated Clay County schools, an abundance of shopping, entertainment, nightlife, an endless variety of restaurants and quaint little eateries. There are three world class golf courses nearby and no shortage of waterways for boating, skiing, fishing and nature watching.
Tucked away off a little side street is the small waterfront community of Osprey Bluff and it doesn't take visitors long to see the pride of ownership in the homes of the friendly people that live in this established neighborhood with tree lined streets.
1897 Osprey Bluff Blvd occupies close to an acre on the river and has been meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully upgraded by the same owners over many years.
A double door entry at the end of a tropical pathway will lead you, and your guest into a welcoming foyer with stairs that lead to four upstairs bedrooms, three with beautiful river views.
A formal living area opens to a bright family room with a fireplace and it's own river views, and French doors that lead to a glass enclosed climate controlled Florida room that allows outdoors enjoyment in all seasons.
The large island kitchen features an array of custom cabinetry with pull out shelving, solid surface countertops, double ovens, a Jennaire downdraft cooktop, stainless appliances and another set of French doors leading to the Florida room.
Working from home can be an enjoyable, or at least a little more enjoyable experience from the downstairs office with....you guessed it... A fantastic view of the river.
There's also an attached, side entry double car garage as well as a detached workshop that will fit two cars, or better yet have it converted to a separate guest house.
A sloping backyard leads to a dock with covered boat lift, double ski lift and a sun deck eclipsed with towering cypress trees, sounds of nature and a Florida lifestyle that many only dream of.
By boat, a short trip around the bend is Doctors Lake and the St Johns River with river access to some of the best seafood restaurants around... Whiteys Fish Camp, Clarks Fish Camp and The Outback Crabshack. If the feeling strikes you head to downtown Jacksonville, The Landing and you can even take in a Jaguars football game.
Opportunities like these don't come around often. Many fond memories have been made here over the years. Many more will be made. The question is... "Will those memories be yours and your family, or someone else's?"
