Property Description
Discover one of Osprey's best-kept secrets-The Cottages of Rivendell. Tucked away within The Woodlands of Rivendell, offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly rare. Towering oak trees create a tranquil, park-like setting, while charming front porches, white picket fences, and classic Old Florida architecture give the neighborhood its unmistakable character. This beautifully maintained 3/2 home welcomes you with an expansive great room featuring an elegant tray ceiling, creating a wonderful sense of openness. Enjoy peace of mind with numerous recent updates, including a new roof (2022), HVAC system (2025), water heater (2026), exterior paint (2026), a separate AC system for the garage, and a generator for the house. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a private community pool and clubhouse, while the Association provides landscape maintenance, allowing you to embrace a carefree, low-maintenance lifestyle. What truly sets The Cottages of Rivendell apart is its warm sense of community. Neighbors know one another, friendships flourish, and life's special moments are celebrated together, making this a truly exceptional place to call home. Ideally located just a short walk from the nationally recognized Pine View School, one of Florida's top-rated schools for the gifted, and only 5.5 miles from Nokomis Beach.
