Description: Under contract-accepting backup offers. BEST PRICED VERANDA in RIVER STRAND! Priced to Sell! This OPTIONALLY FURNISHED and Golf Deeded first floor veranda has one of the best views in River Strand. SERIOUSLY. Don't take my word for it--check out the pictures! This "NO ROOFTOP REAR VIEW" embodies the pinnacle of privacy. The entire view from the inside of your home is immersed with a stunning lake view followed by 7th hole of the Sanctuary of River Strand's fabulous golf course in the near distance. Even better, a conservation area of preserves is directly behind the golf course and provides the finishing touch for that "no rooftop rear view." This conversational floorplan, called the Dogwood, is a favored plan in the community because of its light and bright qualities and great room styled living arrangement. The flooring is terrific, with engineered hardwood in both bedrooms and tile throughout the entirety of the home, including the den (can also double as a third bedroom). Pride of ownership is evident in this home--the owners installed a new air conditioning in 2021, a reverse osmosis water system in 2023, washer and dryer in 2023, and new screens in 2023 too. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a breakfast bar and dining nook too. The owners retreat is cozy and comfortable all at once and features two closets and an ensuite bath. One of the fabulous attributes of this home are the double lanias--the rear lanai is situated in the rear of the home and captures that amazing view while the front lanai is a great space for entertaining guests or cozying up with your favorite book. The home also includes a 1 car garage with a drive space too! This home includes membership to a championship golf course & River Strand Country Club, w/ access to the tennis center & 8 Har-Tru lighted tennis courts. River Strand's 27 hole golf course was renovated and completed in 2023 by RENOWED ARCHITECT ANDREW GREEN. There are TWO clubhouses, restaurant, and the main pool has a poolside grill, sand "beach" & resistance pool. You also have use of the 3,500 sq. ft. fitness center with separate aerobics room with 24hr access. This complex is within 1 mile of I-75--a quick commute to St. Pete, Tampa, or Sarasota!

Close to I-75, everything is within reach...Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota and St. Petersburg too. So why wait...this is as easy as an "EASY BUTTON" can be...just press it, drop your keys on the counter, and go play golf!
