Oyster Bay is a lush "West of the Trail" neighborhood directly on Sarasota Bay featuring classic 'Old-Florida' bungalows and ranches intermixed with executive waterfront mansions on over-sized lots," says Brian Ward, a long-time Sarasota real estate buyers agent. "This older neighborhood has wonderful, mature oak trees and lush landscaping that only continuous care over time can provide," he says.
Next door is the prestigious Field Club, a private club providing its members with docking facilities, tennis courts and a very active social calendar. Oyster Bay residents have convenient access from their homes to all the arts and cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota as well as the casual lifestyle of Siesta Key just across the bridge.
Some homes are directly on the Gulf while others are on deep water canals with no bridges to limit sailboat access to the Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
While many buyers in this community are seeking already remodelled and updated homes, others choose to buy an existing modest home, tear it down and build their own new dream home in this prestigious Sarasota neighborhood. Modest homes are priced in the $400,000 range while elegant estates on the waterfront sell for as much as $5.0 million.
Whether you're a sailing or boating enthusiast or just seeking an upscale in-town location, Oyster Bay will meet your every wish and desire.
