Islands on the Manatee, an award-winning enclave celebrated for its serenity, sophistication, and direct boating access to the Gulf.
Crafted by Arthur Rutenberg Homes and built by RW (Bob) Williams, this 5-year-old masterpiece showcases uncompromising quality and design excellence. Spanning 3,420 sq. ft. of thoughtfully planned space, the home features 3-bedrooms, 3-baths, a private office/den, and an additional bonus room, both complete with custom built-ins.
Step inside and feel the difference--engineered hardwood flooring, five stunning architectural ceilings, and a split floor plan that perfectly balances open-concept flow with intimate private retreats. The Great Room with its modern, electric fireplace seamlessly connects to the kitchen/wet bar, dining and outdoor living areas through zero-corner pocketing sliders, blending indoor and outdoor living in true Florida style.
The chef's kitchen is a showpiece: a professional Wolf range, GE Monogram built-in oven, microwave, refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher--all framed by solid wood cabinetry and rare Victoria Falls granite, a Brazilian stone so exquisite it can no longer be reproduced.
The owner's suite offers a tranquil sitting area and a spa-inspired bath designed for indulgence. Guest bedrooms enjoy their own private courtyard retreat, while one full bath doubles as a pool bath for effortless entertaining.
Outdoors, the expansive lanai is a destination of its own--complete with a summer kitchen, stone fireplace (propane), and an elongated heated pool ideal for swimming laps. A private dog play/potty station adds thoughtful convenience for pet owners.
Additional inclusions are a Whirlpool front load washer and dryer (electric) and Samsung (second) refrigerator/freezer, both located in the laundry room.
Your private composite dock with 10,000 lb. lift, water, and electric invites endless boating adventures. A three-car split side-entry garage, water treatment system with softener, built-in safe, and lush professional landscaping complete this impeccable property.
Every inch of this home reflects luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless design--a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinguished homes in The Islands on the Manatee.
