Just Sold - Waterlefe Home
Saturday, May 29th, 2010 at 7:52am. 937 Views, 0 Comments.
The home above just closed yesterday at 975 Fish Hook Cove in Waterlefe Golf and River Club. It has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 3,078 square feet. What I love about this location is the proximity to the golf course, restaurant, driving range and river access. The new owners will be able to walk down the street to the restaurant, gym, community pool. If they want to hit a few balls on the driving range it is right across the street. If they want to go for a ride in the boat they walk out back hop on and be on the river within just a few minutes. What a great lifestyle.

Are you looking to buy a home or condo in the Sarasota area? Here are 5 common sense tips to help you find the best property quickly.
