FORMER MODEL! TURNKEY FURNISHED! How easy is this decision? Talk about value...this gorgeous GOLF DEEDED veranda has all the decorative bells and whistles with a "NO ROOFTOP REAR VIEW"! When a builder selects a location for the model home, they select the MOST DESIRABLE LOCATION because they want to sell more homes....makes sense, right? The entire view from the inside of your home is immersed with a stunning lake view followed by 7th hole of the Sanctuary of River Strand's fabulous golf course in the near distance. Even better, a conservation area of preserves is directly behind the golf course and provides the finishing touch for that "no rooftop rear view. One of the key features of this second floor Barrington floorplan are the VAULTED CEILINGS. These high ceilings really make a difference and add a voluminous feel that make the home seem larger than it's actual square footage...a fabulous plus. This floorplan also has the advantage of sliding glass doors in front of the home. When you open these sliders in conjunction with the rear sliders, a terrific cross breeze is generated in the home that will have you saying "you had me at hello". A split plan for maximum privacy, this home also includes a den that can easily double as a 3rd bedroom. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a breakfast bar and dining nook. The owners retreat is cozy and comfortable all at once and features two closets and an ensuite bath. The home also includes a 1 car garage with a drive space too! This home includes membership to a championship golf course & River Strand Country Club, w/ access to the tennis center & 8 Har-Tru lighted tennis courts. River Strand's 27 hole golf course was renovated and completed in 2023 by RENOWED ARCHITECT ANDREW GREEN. There are TWO clubhouses, restaurant, and the main pool has a poolside grill, sand "beach" & resistance pool. You also have use of the 3,500 sq. ft. fitness center with separate aerobics room with 24hr access. This complex is within 1 mile of I-75--a quick commute to St. Pete, Tampa, or Sarasota!

Close to I-75, everything is within reach...Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota and St. Petersburg too.
