Welcome the new year and Florida living in this graceful golf-deeded home within the gates of River Strand Golf & Country Club. Boasting outstanding water and preserve views, it is a home of distinction. Enjoy the warm and sunny Florida winter with elegant spacious living indoors and outside -- whether poolside or enjoying pickleball, tennis, golf, or walking and biking the miles of sidewalks around the beautiful landscaped and natural grounds of this exceptional resort-like community. Full Golf & Social membership is included in the quarterly dues, so just book your tee-times with the Pro Shop and pay only a cart fee. This home graciously accommodates your needs and those of family and guests with its combination of open concept and private spaces. From the moment you enter your eyes are drawn to the sparkling pool, then across the lake into a natural preserve area with no homes. Savor this special view through the new huge panoramic screening on the expanded pavered lanai. Open the three sets of sliders and bridge indoors and outdoors seamlessly. If the weather takes a turn, simply lower the lanai protective screen with the remote control. Entertain family and friends with creations inspired by the chef’s kitchen with its expanses of granite counters, including a breakfast bar, wall ovens, cooktop with range hood, plenty of storage within the stately wood cabinetry and a large pantry. Connected with the kitchen is a dining nook nestled in aquarium windows and the family room with sliders opening to the lanai. For large gatherings, special occasions, or just space to spread out anytime, a formal dining room and living area are delightful with high tray ceiling, crown molding and lovely tile flooring set on the diagonal. The office (or 5th bedroom) is a perfect space for hobbies, work, or play, featuring double doors, impact resistant bay windows with plantation shutters. The primary bedroom and the three other bedrooms are all separated in different sections of the home. Within the luxurious primary suite, you will treasure the extra room with a view when you want a private relaxing retreat that also offers organized double closets, and a spacious bathroom with double vanities, private water closet, walk-in shower, and garden soaking tub. There is so much to enjoy here with yard maintenance and cable/internet included in the HOA fees. Playing on the magnificent 27 holes of manicured golf course has never been better – 18 holes have just been completely renovated and reflect the best of design and maintenance.
