Welcome to this beautifully reimagined GOLF DEEDED home located in the gated resort community of River Strand Golf & Country Club! This thoughtfully updated Madiera floor plan offers over 2000 square feet of open, airy living space, made even more inviting by the removal of the wall between the kitchen and dining area—creating a seamless flow that’s perfect for both entertaining and everyday living! At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired UPDATED KITCHEN, complete with a custom pantry, double oven, stylish backsplash, and a breakfast bar that invites conversation. The kitchen opens effortlessly into the dining area and overlooks the spacious great room, making it easy to stay connected with family and guests. Sliding glass doors lead you to your private screened lanai, where a HEATED POOL, covered seating area, and tranquil water views create the perfect setting to relax and soak in Florida’s beautiful weather. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a generous bedroom, custom closet system, and a spa-like en-suite bath. An adjoining sitting room or home office with lanai access adds flexibility and charm. On the opposite side of the home, two comfortable guest bedrooms and a guest bath provide privacy for family and visitors alike. A large laundry room and two-car garage complete the home. Additional highlights of this FURNISHED HOME include custom light fixtures, plantation shutters throughout, engineered hardwood flooring in the bedrooms, newer A/C (2020), freshly painted exterior (2023), electronic lanai shades, and a whole-house surge protector (2025). With the clubhouse currently undergoing a $9M+ RENOVATION to the grille room, restaurant, and outdoor dining areas, the amenities here are truly exceptional. Residents enjoy 27 holes of pristine golf, two resort-style pools with spas, six satellite pools, a lively tiki bar, two fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, and an impressive calendar of social events, activities, and clubs to enjoy year-round. All of this is nestled within a 24-hour gated community, ideally located near I-75 for easy access to Tampa, Sarasota, and the stunning Gulf Coast beaches. You’re also just minutes from the new Marketplace, offering a growing selection of shops and restaurants. Everything you’re looking for is right here— so come and start living your best Florida life. Once you experience River Strand at it's best you may never want to leave!
