Tucked within the gates of River Wilderness Golf & Country Club, winding roads drift beneath canopies of mature oaks and lakes reflect the rhythm of Old Florida, this exceptional Arthur Rutenburg residence makes a statement from the moment you arrive. Set on a beautifully maintained homesite and recognized as a former Yard of the Month winner, the home carries a commanding presence with timeless curb appeal and meticulous attention to detail throughout. Inside, the design delivers what many are searching for but rarely find… solid construction, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a layout that simply lives well. The flowing open floorplan in this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence provides both formal and informal spaces, offering a separate dining room, formal living room, and a huge great room and kitchen area anchored by a breakfast room alcove. A dedicated den or home office creates the perfect work-from-home environment without sacrificing living space. At the center of it all, a spectacular chef’s kitchen brings everyone together, featuring a large island, solid wood cabinetry, stainless GE Profile appliances, a stone backsplash, walk-in pantry, and a discreet pass-through to the dining room. The layout is ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The primary suite offers a true retreat with two walk-in closets, private access to the pool and screened lanai, and a beautifully appointed bath complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Spanning a single level, the home also includes a flexible rear wing or fourth bedroom that can easily function as a guest suite, media room, or additional living space. Throughout the home, volume ceilings, multiple tray details, 8-foot interior doors, and rich trim work create a sense of understated elegance. Behind the scenes, quality upgrades add comfort and peace of mind, including a whole-home generator, 500-gallon propane tank, Insta-Hot system dedicated to the primary bath, enhanced lighting, and thoughtful storage features like pull-out lower cabinetry. Step outside and the lifestyle truly unfolds. Two covered lanais with rich cypress ceilings create layered outdoor living areas that overlook a PebbleTec pool and spa, all set against a tranquil south-facing backdrop of lake and preserve. It’s the kind of setting where mornings start quietly and evenings stretch a little longer. A side-load oversized three-car garage adds both functionality and curb appeal, with convenient access into the laundry and kitchen areas. Beyond the home, River Wilderness is entering an exciting new chapter with new club ownership, refreshed management, and ongoing capital improvements enhancing the overall community experience. And while it feels tucked away, you’re anything but disconnected. With the Ft. Hamer Bridge nearby, you have quick access south of the Manatee River to Lakewood Ranch, UTC, and Sarasota, while Ellenton, St. Petersburg, and Tampa are all within easy reach. If you are looking for a home that blends supreme comfort with the aura of understated elegance, this is the one.
