Welcome to refined living in one of the area’s most sought-after communities—River Wilderness Golf & Country Club. Set on a lush, oversized lot with mature landscaping, this exceptional residence pairs luxury upgrades with true hurricane readiness, delivering peace of mind, safety, and long-term value. Serene pond and preserve views greet you upon entry and flow throughout the home’s thoughtfully designed spaces. This residence lives generously with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room, and a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, den, game room, or guest suite. Nearly every inch has been refreshed or rebuilt with high-end finishes rivaling new construction, while a split floor plan offers privacy for owners and guests. A classic wood-burning fireplace anchors the family room, adding warmth and charm. Beyond its striking interior, this home stands apart for its exceptional storm-resilient construction, representing a minimum of $200,000 in hurricane-hardening improvements, exclusive of interior renovations. Features include PGT impact-rated windows throughout (no shutters to install), a Miami-Dade–approved hurricane-rated garage door, and Kevlar roll-down shutters at the front and rear rated for winds up to 150 mph. A whole-house 22KW generator with twin 100-gallon propane tanks ensures uninterrupted power, while documented wind-mitigation credits offer insurance savings. Located in Flood Zone X, flood insurance is not required. Major system upgrades reflect the same no-expense-spared approach, including a new 5-ton HVAC system (2024), whole-house dehumidifier (2022), architectural roof, and impact-rated construction. The chef’s kitchen has been completely reimagined with solid wood custom cabinetry, Quartzite and Silestone countertops, designer backsplash, JennAir 6-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, and pot filler—perfectly flowing into the family room and lanai for effortless entertaining. Bathrooms are equally refined with premium tilework and fixtures. Outdoors, enjoy Florida living at its finest with a 17,000-gallon saltwater pool and spa overlooking tranquil pond and preserve views, complemented by a pool bath, outdoor shower, and covered lanai. Nestled along the Manatee River, River Wilderness offers mature landscaping, oversized lots, a private boat launch, and optional club amenities including championship golf, dining, tennis, pickleball, and fitness facilities. Convenient to the Fort Hamer Bridge, Lakewood Ranch, and Parrish. This is more than a home—it’s a statement of quality, preparedness, and refined Florida living.
