A work of art, this Arthur Rutenberg masterpiece is one of the most exquisite custom homes in the gated enclave of “The Islands on The Manatee River.” Occupying nearly ½ an acre and positioned on a coveted cul-de-sac street with dazzling LONG WATER VIEWS straight down a RIVER CANAL which is NAVIGABLE TO THE GULF OF MEXICO WITH NO LOCK SYSTEM. A vision of timeless design, this perfectly executed Spanish Colonial offers you a rare opportunity to avoid waiting years to build on not nearly as nice of a parcel. A beautiful, white-washed stucco exterior, paver brick motor court, complimentary Mediterranean landscape & arched cast stone encompasses the entryway that leads you to double iron doors. The grand room, flooded with awe inspiring views, is the epicenter of the home and the gateway to the 2 en-suite guest rooms and large home office. The gourmet kitchen will please any chef; gas equipped and only the best of Subzero and GE Monogram appliances. 42” wood cabinetry & quartz work surfaces will make dining at home a pleasure. Impact glass and 10ft disappearing sliders seamlessly marry the interior with the exterior and instantly transforms this home into an envious entertainer’s paradise. Outdoors, an impressive 15,000 gallon salt water heated pool, spa, spacious cabana area with non-toxic mosquito misting system and fully equipped summer kitchen accentuated by exotic granite surfaces are superb, but just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does. Step outside the Clearview screen and onto your PRIVATE TREX DOCK. Meander down to the water where you will find an impressive 16,000 LB BOAT LIFT, TWIN KAYAKS, and FLOATING KAYAK PLATFORM all INCLUDED with this sale. An island nature site of protected mangrove never to be built upon teems with wildlife and rests in view for mornings connected to the nature of Florida living. A fisherman's paradise less than 3 miles from Lakewood Ranch, residents of the community enjoy inclusive amenities such as: guard-gated entry, no CDDs, and access to the River Lodge, fitness center, putting green, bocce ball, clubhouse, veranda, additional boat/kayak launch, day docks for visitors, and social events.
