Not all condos in River Strand are created equally...and the same holds true for the building locations too! Located one floor above the former builder model, this GOLF DEEDED condo residence boasts extraordinary views. Builders showcase the best available views for their models so they can sell more homes, and this Gorgeous TURNKEY FURNISHED condo fully exemplifies this notion! Scarcity matters--there are only six (6) "Colonade" 2 BED & DEN residences in each condo building too--if you are looking a premium living experience, this floorplan should be at the top of your list. As you step out on the lanai for the first time, you will immediately appreciate the beautifully serene setting of the 7th hole on the Estuary golf course in the near distance. Your gaze will then meander over a sea of undulating greens, an immersive water view, and a golf course that winds and weaves around a large lake. A wonderfully rich preserve setting in the far distance provides a captivating final touch to an amazing "NO ROOFTOP" rear view. Naturally light and bright, this END UNIT residence is the perfect spot to catch some stunning sunsets! WHY WOULD YOU SETTLE for anything less than SPECTACULAR? Isn't a view like this why you want to buy in Florida? This residence has some terrific upgrades, including tile floors in the main areas, luxury vinyl in the bedrooms and den (no carpet here!), upgraded granite counters, decorative backsplash, crown molding, 42 inch kitchen cabinetry, and S/S appliances. There is even an assortment of pull-out shelving in the kitchen to make life easy! Designed on a split plan for privacy, the Owner's Retreat is cozy and comfortable and features 2 large closets, master closet system, and an en-suite bath. The den, which can double as a 3rd bedroom, offers fantastic flex appeal. The storage unit is a perfect place for golf clubs, bikes, & beach chairs. This condo includes a golf membership to a 27 hole championship golf course & River Strand Country Club, w/ access to the tennis center & 8 HAR-TRU lighted tennis courts. There are TWO clubhouses, restaurant, and the main pool has a poolside grill, sand "beach" & resistance pool. You also have use of the 3,500 sq. ft. fitness center with separate aerobics room with 24hr access. This complex is within 1 mile of I-75--a quick commute to St. Pete, Tampa, or Sarasota!
