Now in my 80's, my wife and I have decided to 'down size. So, now our beautiful home and lots of our lovely furniture can be yours. Our home is within walking distance to the River Wilderness club house and across the street is their Fitness Center, large pool, tennis courts, or Pickle Ball, if you prefer. There are several options for club membership. If you are interested, we might add our new fancy golf cart. This home is in a sub-division having a North and South attended security gate. Easy access to Hwy 301 to the North and Hwy 64 to the South. Convenient for all your shopping needs. There are two major airports -- Tampa in the North and Sarasota, to the South. This property has a large back yard, facing a lovely pond and the old #18 which is now a practice hole following the course re-design several years ago. Our home is nearly 3,500ft. ( 4-3 -3 ) and has many advantages: A wonderful / friendly neighborhood with all homes well maintained. An oversized 3 car epoxy garage with a large turn-around that can accommodate even your Doolie pickup. A large kitchen with granite counter tops, a large walk-in pantry and a wet bar. The kitchen, master bedroom and the living room all have tray ceilings. Master bath has a jacuzzi tub and oversized walk-in shower with it's own 40 gallon hot water tank. If you work from home, you will appreciate the spacious private office with walls of shelving plus a large executive desk and a second desk set up for computer work. Outside is our lovely Lani sitting area with oversized pool & spa and the beautiful view with a nice variety of birds coming and going all day. A great place to enjoy the quiet, your favorite book, and maybe your daily libation. The pool has an almost new Propane heater and the Lani could expand adding an outdoor kitchen. Within the complex there are storage areas for your boat or R/V, and just outside the complex is our boat launch giving you access to the beautiful Manatee River, which empties into the Gulf. Here you can have lunch in the pavilion, fish from the pier or take a cruise on the river. There is no need to go on vacation... you're already there. Come and enjoy the Sunshine State. No state tax. Watch the palms sway in the breeze and remember, ' every day here is another day in paradise.
