About this home

Prepare to be captivated by this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind Waterlefe residence—an exquisitely reimagined end-unit condominium where a complete designer renovation, exceptional privacy, and a resort-inspired riverfront lifestyle come together beautifully. Unlike anything else in the neighborhood, this home has been transformed from top to bottom with high-end finishes and thoughtful detailing normally reserved for a luxury model home. Offering nearly 2,400 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a spacious office/den or bonus room, and a 2-car garage, it delivers the scale and privacy of a single-family home with the effortless appeal of a lock-and-leave retreat. Its private upstairs end-unit setting overlooks Waterlefe’s 8th fairway and tranquil ponds. Inside, soaring ceilings and beautiful engineered hardwood flooring create an immediate sense of light and volume. Shiplap accents, crown molding, substantial baseboards, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, upgraded door hardware, and designer fixtures give every room a polished, tailored feel. The open-concept living area is centered around a custom shiplap fireplace wall with built-in shelving and a TV feature wall, creating a warm, refined setting for relaxing or entertaining while drawing attention to the views beyond. The kitchen is the showpiece. Stacked solid-wood cabinetry reaches the ceiling, complemented by soft-close dovetailed drawers, glass-front display cabinets, open shelving, a built-in pantry, concealed trash storage, quartz countertops, apron-front sink, gas range, and commercial-grade vent hood. The kitchen flows naturally into the spacious shiplap-wrapped dining room, while the adjacent dinette offers a charming place for morning coffee. The primary suite is magazine-worthy, with custom closet shelving and a boutique-hotel-inspired ensuite featuring dramatic black-and-white tile, a warm wood double vanity, and an oversized walk-in shower with multiple showerheads and generous niches. A split-bedroom plan creates privacy for guests, including a large, window-filled second bedroom with a huge walk-in closet and a bright third bedroom also with a walk in closet. The remodeled guest bath is equally impressive with a rich blue vanity, gold accents, penny tile, decorative flooring, and jetted soaking tub. The substantial bonus room is ideal for an office, media room, music room, or hobby space. The oversized screened lanai extends daily living outdoors, with room to lounge, dine, gather around a fire pit, or enjoy the swing while taking in peaceful golf-course and water views. Additional upgrades include filtered water at the kitchen sink, Tesla charger, and recently replaced NEW roof (covered by association) Waterlefe Golf & River Club offers a coveted waterfront lifestyle in one of the area’s premier golf and boating communities. Included resident amenities are a riverfront clubhouse, an array of social activities, Jr Olympic-size pool, fitness center, dining room with views of the Manatee River, bistro/tavern, tiki bar, kayak launch, sunset pier, walking trails, and gated entry with guard. Optional championship golf and marina memberships let you tailor the experience—from a round of golf or a day on the Manatee River to sunset drinks by the pool. Near Lakewood Ranch, The Marketplace filled with Costco, Whole Foods, Target, & Seasons 52 just to name a few, downtown Sarasota, SRQ airport, and world-renowned Gulf beaches, this is elevated Florida living at its finest.
