Located in Riverwood, a highly desirable gated Golfing Community, this gorgeous waterfront golf course home is straight out of a Resort Living Magazine! The quality of this home is unmistakable, starting with the lush tropical landscaping, classic tile roof, elegant columned entrance, tasteful accents, and the front door attractively framed in glass sidelights and a palladium transom window. As you enter, your eyes are drawn past the living and dining rooms, through the sliding glass doors, just beyond your extended tiled, covered, and screened lanai to spectacular water views and views of the Riverwood Golf Course, a nationally recognized championship golf course. This home was designed to take full advantage of the views, with numerous windows and sliders offering water and golf course views from almost every room, along with an energizing flow of natural light. The vaulted ceilings create even more volume in this spacious home, and the split bedroom floor plan provides privacy for you and your guests who will never want to leave. The kitchen offers gleaming granite counters, stainless appliances, under cabinet lighting, a breakfast bar, and views that will distract even the most serious gourmet chef. The family room and breakfast nook both open to the lanai through glass sliders, providing the perfect space for entertaining, and the upgraded diagonal tile in the main living areas is easy to maintain. Wake in your master suite to beautiful views and get ready in your master bath with his and hers sinks and granite counters, which the guest bath has as well. Have breakfast on your lanai as you plan your day. If work is on the agenda, keep the third bedroom as an office for those conference calls. Otherwise, take a dip in the community pool and spa, hit the community tennis or Bocce courts, play croquet or pickleball, or workout in the fitness center. Or maybe play some golf and have lunch or happy hour at the clubhouse. If you love baseball, the Tampa Rays Spring Training complex is less than 3 miles away, as are restaurants with live entertainment, shopping, marinas, and boating access. At an additional cost, depending on availability, you can join the Golf Club and have access to the Riverwood Beach Club at the beach on Manasota Key, a private gated facility with amenities for Riverwood members and guests. Come home to some quiet time on your lanai, enjoying the sights and sounds, compliments of Mother Nature. Fully furnished, all you have to do is park your clubs in your oversized 2 car garage with built-in shelving and cabinets and start living the good life! Hurricane Shutters are icing on this cake. This will not last. Call today!
