Welcome to the ultimate Florida lifestyle in the premier gated community of River Strand Golf & Country Club, where amenities and recreation meet leisure and every day feels like a vacation! This spacious property features 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, and a 3-Car Garage, and includes Golf Deeded Membership to the premier 27-hole championship golf course designed by renowned architect Andrew Green. The heart of the home is its open-concept main living area, featuring an inviting family room and a bright, eat-in kitchen that seamlessly connects to your own private backyard oasis through hurricane-impact sliding doors. Step outside to your personal paradise: a large, covered lanai featuring a heated, saltwater pool and spa, all set within an upgraded No-see-UM screened enclosure ideal for soaking up the Florida sunshine. A true bonus of this property's footprint is the extended backyard greenspace, offering ample room to enjoy the outdoors. As you walk through your front screened lanai area, you’ll note that the interior has been upgraded with Plantation shutters throughout, and the kitchen boasts recently replaced appliances, including a new dishwasher and refrigerator, both installed in 2024. The primary bedroom offers an ample walk-in closet, garden tub and tiled shower. The community offers two resort-style pools (one with a lazy river and Tiki Bar) and six satellite pools. For the active resident, there are eight Pickleball Courts, 9 Har-Tru tennis courts, and a fitness center. All amenities are enjoyed within an environment that offers 24-hour security, gated entry, and a bustling year-round social calendar. River Strand residents recently voted in favor of an $8.4+ million master plan upgrade project, set to expand the Grille Room & Bar, outdoor dining and pergola area, lobby decor, painting of the entire Clubhouse, and enlargement of the Tiki Bar,. River Strand is just 5 minutes from I-75, Costco, Target, the upcoming Whole Foods, and The Marketplace Shops, with Lakewood Ranch, The Mall at UTC Town Center, and Waterside Place all nearby. World-renowned Gulf Coast beaches of Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island, and the Sarasota, St. Pete, and Tampa airports are all a quick commute away.
