BACK ON MARKET with a rare opportunity to purchase this home at an exceptional price under its appraised value. Why wait to build and to wait for the landscaping to mature into a lushly green community in the future when you can begin enjoying this gem with its great curb appeal in tropical plantings right now? In the vibrant gated Neal community of Rivers Reach in Parrish, with easy access to Interstate 75 and the growing area off Rye Road filled with shopping, restaurants, services and amenities, as you pass through its gates, you will feel the peacefulness of this delightful community’s escape. Loaded with upgrades, this four-bedroom, three-bath home has a three-car garage, a second-floor bonus room and bath that can be used flexibly as in-law quarters, a teenage game room, an exercise area or as an additional bedroom for guests. The many upgrades within this bright and open floor plan include the newly installed (2025) Anderson hurricane impact glass windows all over the home, an EV charging station in the garage, a reverse osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen (2022) and a water softening system throughout the home, an HVAC system with a UV light to help with preventing allergies and enhancing air quality and the garage floor was recently epoxied (2024). From the moment you enter, you will experience the seamless flow from the living room–dining room into the kitchen/great room. The flooring is tile throughout the entire first floor with carpet in the second-floor bedroom/bonus room. The screened lanai offers a long lake view in a tranquil setting with covered and uncovered areas. The community center offers a beautiful resort-style pool and spa area (with no maintenance to you), a fitness center, a playground, nature trails and a kayak launch along the Manatee River. Near the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast, the many amenities in Lakewood Ranch and the cultural and sporting venues of Sarasota and Tampa, this home offers the Florida lifestyle at its best!
