Islands on the Manatee, an award-winning enclave celebrated for its serenity, sophistication, and direct boating access to the Gulf. Crafted by Arthur Rutenberg Homes and built by RW (Bob) Williams, this 5-year-old masterpiece showcases uncompromising quality and design excellence. Spanning 3,420 sq. ft. of thoughtfully planned space, the home features 3-bedrooms, 3-baths, a private office/den, and an additional bonus room, both complete with custom built-ins. Step inside and feel the difference—engineered hardwood flooring, five stunning architectural ceilings, and a split floor plan that perfectly balances open-concept flow with intimate private retreats. The Great Room with its modern, electric fireplace seamlessly connects to the kitchen/wet bar, dining and outdoor living areas through zero-corner pocketing sliders, blending indoor and outdoor living in true Florida style. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece: a professional Wolf range, GE Monogram built-in oven, microwave, refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher—all framed by solid wood cabinetry and rare Victoria Falls granite, a Brazilian stone so exquisite it can no longer be reproduced. The owner’s suite offers a tranquil sitting area and a spa-inspired bath designed for indulgence. Guest bedrooms enjoy their own private courtyard retreat, while one full bath doubles as a pool bath for effortless entertaining. Outdoors, the expansive lanai is a destination of its own—complete with a summer kitchen, stone fireplace (propane), and an elongated heated pool ideal for swimming laps. A private dog play/potty station adds thoughtful convenience for pet owners. Additional inclusions are a Whirlpool front load washer and dryer (electric) and Samsung (second) refrigerator/freezer, both located in the laundry room. Your private composite dock with 10,000 lb. lift, water, and electric invites endless boating adventures. A three-car split side-entry garage, water treatment system with softener, built-in safe, and lush professional landscaping complete this impeccable property. Every inch of this home reflects luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless design—a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinguished homes in The Islands on the Manatee. The Islands is an exclusive sub-division within the River Wilderness community. Residents enjoy access to The Club at River Wilderness, featuring an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse with restaurant and bar, athletic center, resort-style pool, and tennis and pickleball courts. Ideally situated, The Islands offers effortless connectivity to surrounding areas—just minutes from the Fort Hamer Bridge, providing a direct route to Lakewood Ranch’s upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment. Nearby Parrish also continues to expand, offering an exciting array of new restaurants and retail destinations just moments from home.
