Description

This spectacular custom John Cannon residence is truly a showpiece home fine enough to be featured in any designer magazine. Upon entry your eyes immediately will focus on the great room/kitchen while scanning over the outdoor fireplace, patio/pool/spa then into the river and onto the preserve in just one glance. An amazing setting! Located in the exclusive Islands River Wilderness, this residence sits on the coveted side of Harbourside Lane that overlooks unobstructed water and wetlands (not buildable) views. 'The Islands' is located just 3 miles from Lakewood Ranch which gives the community the conveniences of Lakewood Ranch while enjoying the boating life that is not an option in Lakewood Ranch. This gorgeous like new 2017 built home has a rare view to the water and wetlands not looking into another home on the other side of the water. Enjoy refined, relaxing living and the ultimate coastal Florida lifestyle on this nearly half-acre property which includes a Trex boat dock with 10,000 lb boat lift, electricity and water. Direct access to the Manatee River (no lift system/lock system) which leads you to the intracoastal, Gulf of Mexico and beyond while also offering an optional social or golf membership in the private golf & country club of River Wilderness. Relax and soak in the tranquil waterfront views on the expansive clearview-screened lanai which offers a salt water heated pool and spa, outdoor kitchen and built-in fire pit. Dine beneath the spacious covered patio which flows into a sitting area to entertain guests. Inside, the custom split-bedroom floorplan features three bedrooms, three baths with a dedicated den/office all encompassing nearly 3,000 square feet. High ceilings, neutral tile flooring and a contemporary design all add to the desirability of this home. Chefs will stay connected to conversations while preparing delectable meals in the open, well-equipped kitchen which features gas appliances, an oversized island with seating & storage, quartz counters, wine refrigerator and a breakfast nook that has sliding glass doors for the indoor/outdoor dining experience.
