About this home

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away in the gated, maintenance-free, lakefront community of Riva Trace, this thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom plus den, 3-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and Florida living.

From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the spacious feel created by soaring 12-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, and an open layout accented with plantation shutters throughout. Porcelain tile flows through the main living areas, while the bedrooms provide the warmth and comfort of carpeting.

At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It features stainless steel appliances, natural gas cooktop w/hood, granite countertops, soft-close wood 42" cabinetry, a pantry, breakfast bar, built-in desk area, and a convenient butler's pantry with additional serving, storage and glass front display space.

The private den, enclosed by glass French doors, makes an ideal home office, study, or flex space. Elegant details including crown molding and coffered ceilings enhance the formal dining room, living room, family room, and primary suite, while sliding glass doors invite natural light and seamless access to the outdoor living area.

The spacious primary retreat overlooks the pool and includes custom walk-in closet built-ins and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, granite countertops, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Two guest bedrooms are tucked behind a pocket door and share a full bath, creating a private wing for family or visitors. A fourth bedroom sits adjacent to the pool bath, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.

Outside is where this home truly shines. The screened lanai is designed for year-round enjoyment, featuring stunning travertine pavers, covered gathering spaces, an outdoor gas kitchen and bar w/sink and side burner, freeform pool with a tranquil water feature overlooking the lake and Preserve! Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening by the water, this outdoor setting feels like a private retreat.

Additional highlights include a laundry room with abundant cabinetry and utility sink, overhead garage storage, low HOA fees, and NO CDD fees.

Ideally located just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, SRQ Airport, and the Gulf Coast's beautiful beaches, this home offers the lifestyle so many are seeking in one of the area's most desirable communities. The location is truly exceptional, offering convenient access to Sarasota, its beautiful Gulf beaches, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lido Key and Anna Marie Island, Bradenton, and vibrant downtown St. Petersburg. You’ll also appreciate being just minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and an abundance of premier shopping and dining at The Mall at University Town Center, Detweilers Market, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Lakewood Ranch Main St and Waterside, Nathan Benderson Park and so much more!
