This is the new Arthur Rutenberg Novara furnished model (including drapes and accessories) located in The Islands on the Manatee River. This plan features 3 bedrooms, each with a private bath, den and a pool bath. The beautiful Spanish exterior welcomes you with its two garages and motor court entry. Entering the foyer, your eye is drawn to the pool, dock, and harbor. The nature preserve behind the harbor assures you that no one will ever be your back yard neighbor – besides the egrets, eagles and hawks which call it home. This view is available from the front door, thanks to the generous expanse of glass in the Great Room – over 23 foot wide sliding glass doors which pocket onto the side walls. The great room and dining room share this great view and are open to the gourmet kitchen. Light and bright are the words for this lovely kitchen. With windows framing the cooking area, it is always inviting for cooking and making dinner. A huge island with a waterfall edge is the perfect place for washing dishes, eating snacks, and preparation of meals. Top of the line stainless appliances and a huge pantry flanks the kitchen. The outdoor living space is the area most will want to spend time in. A lovely pool and spa, outdoor kitchen and clear view cage overlook the private dock and harbor area. The almost 21 foot long den is adjacent to the master bedroom which features double walk-in closets and is complete with free-standing tub, and a private courtyard. Sale/Leaseback required on this designer home.
