Bradenton’s Hidden Gem in Winding River – Where privacy and nature meet in perfect harmony. This custom Arthur Rutenberg home showcases renowned craftsmanship and timeless quality, set on a private ½-acre preserve lot with tranquil water views from the lanai. A brand-new roof (installed August 8, 2025) crowns this home, which features a saltwater pool and spa on an expansive paver patio, plus a professionally installed hot tub on the screened lanai. The full propane tank powers both the hot tub and the outdoor kitchen—complete with grill, sink, and mini-fridge—making year-round entertaining a delight. Inside, enjoy beautiful hardwood floors in all bedrooms and the bonus room, with tile throughout the main living areas. The kitchen and laundry are well-appointed, with a washer and dryer (only 3 years old) included, plus a full-size refrigerator in the 3-car garage and a deep stand-alone freezer for extra storage. The backyard is a true tropical oasis—mature landscaping with fruit-bearing trees and plants including orange, avocado, Meyer lemon, blueberry bush, and three varieties of dragon fruit cactus. Six 8×4 mahogany-stained raised garden beds with posts for optional shade covering are included, perfect for the gardener at heart. Community amenities include a private boat ramp and lounge with access to the Manatee River. HOA fees cover lawn cutting, trimming, and irrigation, so you can spend more time enjoying the Florida lifestyle.
