Astonishingly spacious and perfectly private, escape from the high-paced rhythm of the real world in this remarkable 4,596 square foot custom-built home set on 1.39 acres of quiet splendor. Surrounded by a pond, wooded preserve, and connected to the Braden River, there are no neighbors in sight as you take in the view and breathe the fresh air. Step through the 9' mahogany door and you are greeted by soaring cypress wood ceilings, large Pella windows, and delightful wood accents throughout - bringing the outdoors in. The expansive living room opens to a gracious kitchen with granite surfaces, maple cabinets, a center island, and an adjacent sunlit dining room. There are four impressively sized bedrooms crowned by the gracious owner's suite. It includes its own lanai, walk-in closet with natural light, and huge bath with garden tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A separate room connected to the owner's suite could be used as an office, yoga or painting studio, or nursery. Two large secondary bedrooms are accompanied with ensuite baths while the fourth bedroom is at the end of a long hallway and next to the huge bonus room - offering supreme privacy and comfort for multi-generational living. The screened lanai is one big open room with the sky for a roof. Celebrate the Fourth of July (or every Friday) in the outdoor kitchen with covered dining area or take a daily dip in the sparkling PebbleTec pool. You'll also enjoy a fully equipped laundry room and convenient pool bath. A three-car garage and a separate two-car garage means there's plenty of room for the cars, boat, bikes, and a workshop should one wish. A NEW roof was just completed. Originally custom built for a professional umpire, this home's architecture includes subtle nods to his passion for the sport. River Club is centrally located to all that Lakewood Ranch has to offer with low a HOA fee and it is one of the few communities in Lakewood Ranch without a CDD fee. The location is unbeatable - near shopping, medical facilities, boating, fishing, and I-75, which makes commuting to Sarasota, St. Pete or Tampa an easy pleasure. House is being sold As-Is.
