Serene privacy envelops this outstanding residence, establishing a tranquil nature preserve setting on a nearly half-acre homesite with a side pond view. The Todd Johnston Weldon III-designed home optimizes an illustrious leisure lifestyle that appreciates one's love for the outdoors. The grand flowing floorplan is accentuated with stunning finishes and creates inviting spaces for entertaining as well as grants areas of solitude for working or retreat where the entire family can claim individual domains. Upon entering the welcoming foyer, you are greeted by the open living and dining rooms with a lovely gas fireplace that are ideal for formal gatherings while providing effortless transition onto the lanai and into the magnificent kitchen. Graced with granite countertops and an adjacent separate walk-in pantry with a desk area, the gourmet kitchen is a wonderful stage for the iron chef to perform, turning any event into a special occasion. The kitchen overlooks the spacious family room that is picture-perfect for holidays. With versatility in mind, all your family's needs are met with a den featuring a Murphy bed that could easily be a fifth bedroom and a large upstairs bonus room with a built-in media center and desk for a robust office and/or game room. The master wing on the first floor is split from the rest of the rooms for blissful solitude, boasting a spa-like en-suite bath, large walk-in custom closet, and doors to the lanai. You, your family and guests will find themselves drawn to the lanai, swimming in the heated pool and spa with a new heater and updated PebbleTec and tile, and cabana-style open patio for lounging. Hurricane shutters offer peace of mind. This remarkable residence exceeds expectations for quality living. River Club is an esteemed neighborhood with an 18-hole championship golf course and dining while enjoying the beauty of Florida living. Lakewood Ranch and the beaches of Bradenton and Sarasota are all nearby.
