WELCOME TO PARADISE! From the moment you step through the elegant glass-accented front doors, the gentle Florida breeze welcomes you—and your eyes are immediately drawn through the open living area to the sparkling water views beyond. It’s a breathtaking panorama that captures the true spirit of paradise living in Riverwood, where eagles and ospreys soar overhead, ibis and egrets glide gracefully toward the Myakka River, and the sights and sounds of nature create a tranquil symphony all around you. This beautifully crafted 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with Office/Den showcases a desirable split floor plan, dramatic 10-foot ceilings, and 8-foot doors throughout, creating an atmosphere of light, openness, and serenity. The gourmet kitchen—refined with solid wood cabinetry, stunning granite countertops and island, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy dining nook—flows seamlessly into the family room and out to the lanai, inviting easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. The private primary suite offers a serene retreat with peaceful pond and lanai views. Wake to the soft call of wading birds and the gentle shimmer of the water outside your window. This sanctuary features coffered ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with dual sinks and a large tiled walk-in shower—your own personal spa at home. Step outside to your paver brick lanai and experience pure Florida paradise. The sparkling saltwater heated pool—with a built-in table perfect for lounging—invites you to relax as turtles sun themselves along the pond’s edge and herons wade through the shallows. The invisible screen enclosure preserves your unobstructed view of the tranquil landscape—a living postcard of natural Florida beauty. Additional highlights include large ceramic tile set on the diagonal, engineered hardwood floors, plantation shutters, custom closets, and roll-down hurricane shutters for added peace of mind.
