THIS IS IT! Whether you’re looking for year-round or a snow-bird residence, this much-loved home in an upscale, secure resort community can become your sanctuary. This light filled four-bedroom, three-bath, home with pool, and spa in Bradenton’s sought-after River Strand Golf and Country Club gated community is waiting for your personal touch. Here you’ll find a bright, flowing, open-concept layout that seamlessly transitions from its spacious interior to the exterior living space of the Lanai with its dining, grilling and seating areas, not to mention the exquisite, sparkling, lighted pool and spa. Because the Lanai is on the North side of the home, it never gets so hot that you can’t enjoy this wonderful outdoor space. From the Lanai you can see the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun in the evening. The pool area has upgraded pavers and finishes. The trees and numerous shrubs the owners have added are now mature and enhance the sense of privacy from the Lanai. The substantial owner suite boasts a golf course view, an ensuite bathroom with an oversized tub, walk-in shower, and two customized walk-in closets with ample storage. The other three bedrooms are just as private. One of the bedrooms is presently used as an office, but it’s a truly flexible space with an ensuite of its own. The high-end Murphy bed, which remains with the home, with its built-in storage quickly transforms the space into a bedroom for when you have lots of company. The owners have made very practical upgrades throughout, such as a new and improved HVAC, added screened-in front entryway and a widened driveway for expanded parking space and more. A SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP is included with the home. SOCIAL MEMBERS can play golf on a modest “Pay to Play” basis. This reduces your monthly HOA fees significantly.
