About This Property
Stunning River Club Estate is set on almost three acres and backing to the tranquil Braden River, offering sweeping views of water, mature woods and abundant wildlife. Thoughtfully redesigned for modern living, this residence blends refined interior upgrades with exceptional outdoor spaces. At heart of the home is the completely remodeled kitchen, showcasing an impressive 5-by-10-foot center island, premium cabinetry, quartz and granite countertops, high-end appliances and open connection to the family room. Hurricane impact windows and disappearing sliders create seamless indoor–outdoor living and fill the home with natural light. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the home features two under-roof outdoor living areas, one with a full outdoor kitchen and dining space, and a second covered outdoor living room ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The screened lanai overlooks the gas-heated pool and spa, with peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, the split-open floor plan offers three bedrooms, each with its own private wing, along with a den/bonus room, formal living and dining areas, and a spacious family room, all finished with travertine flooring. The living room is enhanced by a gas fireplace with custom detailing. The primary suite offers direct access to the outdoor living area, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with a walk-around double shower and separate soaking tub. Additional highlights include a recently painted exterior and an oversized three-car side-load garage with 93” inch high garage door to fit your large truck or suv and paver flooring, a rare and attractive feature in a garage. A new roof (2018) and new air conditioner (2019) provide added peace of mind. The home itself is in X flood zone, while portions of the expansive acreage extend into the AE zone, offering protection and scenic beauty. In desired River Club, a golfing community known for low HOA fees and no CDDs, this exceptional property is just minutes from Lakewood Ranch’s shopping, dining, UTC Mall, the new Mote Marine Laboratory, top-rated schools, downtown Sarasota and Gulf beaches. A rare combination of luxury updates, privacy and breathtaking natural surroundings, this estate represents an extraordinary opportunity in one of the area’s desirable communities.
