About this home

Nestled on a prime corner lot in the sought-after gated community of Harborage on
Braden River, this beautiful home at 5511 Whitehead Street blends timeless charm with
resort-style living. The property benefits from an ideal east-west wind protecting
orientation without a backyard neighbor, providing refreshing afternoon shade for
outdoor relaxation and entertaining with the only single-family home with a view of the
color changing fountain. Step inside to discover refined interior finishes accentuated by
elegant crown molding and archway entrance to DR and TV area, along with a modern
kitchen equipped with wood cabinets and brand-new appliances. Enjoy ultimate peace
of mind and energy efficiency with hurricane impact protected windows throughout,
paired with major mechanical and structural updates including a relatively new roof, high
efficiency AC, and water heater. Includes ceiling fans in bedrooms, office, LR and Lanai
that are not often found in new home construction. Also with central security system,
Top/Bottom Levelor blinds, 12 ft sectional sliding glass door. The community offers an
unmatched Florida lifestyle complete with 2 on-site conservation walking trails with
direct river access, boat docks, a marina, kayak launch, and fishing pier, as well as a
welcoming clubhouse just out the back Lanai door and across the street featuring an
exercise room, resort-style swimming pool, and relaxing jacuzzi. Everyday convenience
is at your doorstep with Braden River County Park and the recently renovated local
public library just around the corner to Aldi’s, (2) Walmart’s, a Walmart Marketplace,
Sams Club and (3) Publix Markets , plus seamless proximity within minutes to all the
premier amenities of Lakewood Ranch—including vibrant Waterside Place, the popular
Farmers' Market, and Lakewood Ranch Main Street for world-class dining, boutiques,
and entertainment without the daily summer thunderstorms east of I-75. Commuting and
travel are equally effortless, located roughly 10 miles from Sarasota-Bradenton
International Airport (SRQ) and around 45 miles north to Tampa International Airport
(TPA) and 60 miles south to Punta Gorda (PGD). Whether you are unwinding in the
shaded outdoor space, sitting on the many Gulf Coast beaches close by or taking full
advantage of the waterfront and community amenities, this move-in-ready residence
offers the complete coastal package!
