Remarks: Under contract-accepting backup offers. One of the premier homesites in Waterlefe Golf & River Club, this lightly lived-in waterfront pool home offers a setting that is increasingly hard to find. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on an oversized pie-shaped lot, the property enjoys desirable southern rear exposure with expansive views of water, golf course, and preserve, along with a private boat dock providing direct access to the Manatee River. The home has been meticulously maintained by its original seasonal owners and presents in pristine condition. Recent improvements include a new roof and driveway, along with updated major systems and kitchen appliances. The interior reflects its original design but has been exceptionally well cared for and offers a move-in ready opportunity with the ability to update over time. Curb appeal is strong with mature landscaping, a paver driveway, and tile roof. Full hurricane protection with roll down and accordion shutters provides added peace of mind. Inside, the popular Hemingway floor plan features an open layout with a spacious kitchen, breakfast nook, and multiple sliding glass doors that open to the pool and spa, creating an easy transition to outdoor living. The outdoor space takes full advantage of the homesite, offering privacy, all day sun from the southern exposure, and long water and preserve views. A complete summer kitchen makes it ideal for entertaining. Waterlefe offers a unique lifestyle with optional golf membership, allowing owners to enjoy the course without mandatory fees. The community also features a member owned clubhouse, fitness center, gated entrance, and includes cable and internet in the HOA, along with access to boating on the Manatee River.

Remarks: In Waterlefe Golf & River Club, life is meant to be lived outdoors. Boat on the Manatee River in the morning, tee it up in the afternoon, and meet friends at the clubhouse in the evening. It’s a lifestyle that continues to separate this community from the rest of the market. Now with a major added advantage, the seller is including a brand new roof, with the buyer given the opportunity to select their preferred color and style. For buyers who move quickly, this is a rare chance to customize one of the most important components of the home while gaining long-term peace of mind and insurance benefits. Set on a private corner homesite with no side neighbor, this updated four bedroom, three bath plus den home offers sweeping golf course views with water accents and a true great room floor plan designed for Florida living. Pocketing sliders open wide to the pool and lanai, creating a natural extension of the living space. A gas fireplace anchors the main living area, while neutral tile flooring runs through the primary spaces. Hardwood floors carry through the dining room, den, primary suite, and all guest bedrooms, creating a consistent and elevated feel throughout. The fully renovated kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, accent and display cabinets, a cooktop, and built-in microwave and oven, delivering a clean, functional design that holds up over time. The primary suite offers a spa-style bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, new cabinetry, and detailed tile work that adds depth without overcomplicating the space. Three additional guest bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests. The home has been freshly painted inside and out, with an updated HVAC system already in place. A leased solar panel system helps offset energy costs. The oversized two-car garage includes extra space for a golf cart or storage. Waterlefe is anchored by its resident-owned River Club, offering dining, fitness, trails, kayak launch, and access to boating. Golf is available but not required, with flexible membership options and a renovated clubhouse. The community remains one of the few in the area where you can realistically pair golf course views with boating access. A new roof, a prime homesite, and a lifestyle that still holds its value. Opportunities like this don’t tend to sit once the market understands what’s being offered.
