Golf course community living at its finest! Welcome to the award-winning “Crystal by MI Homes, boasting 2,309 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den and three-car garage. This elegant home is nestled in Cypress Glen, an exclusive community of 40 newer homes in the gated River Wilderness Golf & Country Club, which features an 18-hole course, restaurant, Junior Olympic pool, tennis and pickle ball courts, fitness center, and much more. This modern home exudes Old Florida charm, with its tile roof with stainless steel, and front porch made of all natural stone. To top it off, it sports a gorgeous brick-paver driveway and lush, tropical landscaping offering a colorful feast for the eyes – a constant reminder of why you live in South Florida! Stepping into the foyer, you’re greeted by a grand entry hall with 9-foot ceilings. The 8-foot interior doors give the home extra depth. Off the foyer sits the front bedroom with en-suite full bath and tub – perfect for children or guests who want extra privacy. Moving down the hall, you’ll notice the high-end porcelain tile floors throughout the home. Off the hallway is a spacious den (can serve as a fourth bedroom) with double doors and picture windows that offer abundant natural light. At the end of the hall, the home expands into a spacious combination dining/great-room living space with 10-foot tray ceiling. This opens directly into the café and gourmet kitchen, which has bright, modern feel with its large island, white quartz countertops and tile, stainless-steel appliances and hood, and ample cabinetry throughout. A second spacious bedroom with its own full bath sits at the end of a short hallway off the great room. The private master suite rests in its own wing and features a spacious walk-in closet. The ensuite Master Bath boasts a large enclosed shower, his and her sinks, and water closet. Access the extended, screened-in lanai from the café or the great room, as this home features two sets of sliding glass doors, which can be fully extended for comfort on those cool Florida nights. The home features several modern features including a 50-year tile roof, and insulation that will greatly reduce your AC bill. Updates since 2023: 1) Ceiling fans in most rooms and lanai; 2) Sherwin Williams Emerald interior paint in most rooms; 2) Paver driveway, walkways and front porch sealed (by Gorilla Kleen); 3) New window treatments, including Hunter Douglas woven woods and motorized rollers shades for all sliding glass doors. Lastly, enjoy all that Parrish has to offer, including new shops and restaurants opening almost weekly, and a brand-new park with splash pad for the kids just five minutes away. Not to mention the Blue-Ribbon Annie Williams K-5 School just across the road. And you can access it all from two guarded gates – the main gate on Old Tampa, and another off Fort Hamer Road, just north of the Fort Hamer Bridge. This home literally offers the best of both worlds, as you will be 35 minutes from both St. Pete Beach and Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota. This one won’t last long…grab it before it’s gone!
