Welcome to this beautifully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath pool home in gated Riverside Preserve on the Manatee River. The open floor plan is made for both entertaining and everyday living. The formal dining room up front easily doubles as a den or office. The kitchen has upgraded countertops and cabinets with a huge island, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage and a large walk-in pantry. The eat-in area flows into the inviting living room and out to your private backyard retreat: a heated saltwater pool and fully fenced yard overlooking open farmland, with no rear neighbors in sight, just the occasional cow. The first-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, with two large walk-in closets (one currently used as a work area) and a luxurious bath with an oversized walk-in shower. A wrought-iron staircase leads upstairs to three additional bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite bath, ideal for your house guest. The media/game room opens through French doors to a large screened balcony overlooking the same peaceful farmland backyard. Riverside Preserve offers low HOA fees and no CDD, plus a 16+ acre riverfront park where residents can launch a kayak or paddleboard, fish, walk the nature trails or gather at the pavilion, with frequent sightings of manatees, dolphins and seabirds. Enjoy the beauty of wild Florida without sacrificing everyday conveniences, you have a quick access to I-75, shopping, dining, medical facilities, A rated schools and of course the best beaches in Florida.
