Wow. This move-in ready 3BR/2BA, plus den/flex space home in sought after Rivers Reach by Neal Communities is a fantastic property on a prime quarter acre homesite. This ever-popular Blue Sky model was one of the first homes in the development on a hand-selected private lot situated for maximum views of the scenic pond & conservation area, with plenty of room for a pool. The bond portion of the CDD was paid off by the current owners saving a future buyer over $800 per year on their annual tax bill. In this community, the HOA is only $11 per month, so it's a great value for all it offers. This amazing home has many upgrades and special features including rain gutters, coffered ceilings, granite countertops, upgraded appliances, under cabinet lighting, pot and pan drawers, breakfast bar, staggered solid wood cabinets, pantry, extended garage with extra storage space behind one of the stalls and more. The 3-panel stackable sliding glass door from the great room leads to a large screened-in lanai that spans the entire back of the house providing a fantastic indoor/outdoor entertaining space, with a spectacular view. The great room, lanai, kitchen, formal dining room & kitchen nook flow together well. Off the great room is the large flex room which can serve as a den or office. The spacious owners' retreat has his and her closets, plenty of natural light, dual sinks, a large walk-in shower and a scenic view of the backyard. The laundry room has a sink and overhead cabinets. Some of the special features include a blue ultraviolet light that sanitizes the air and protects against mold. A french drain was added to the lanai. The front door has a beautiful glass insert that lets in light while providing privacy. There is a security system and gorgeous landscaping. This home is located in the gated Rivers Reach community with easy access to Parrish or Lakewood Ranch and offers a resort-style pool, hot tub, fitness center, playground, volleyball court & boat launch onto the Manatee River. If you take the walking trail through the community you will notice many historical markers as well.
