A spectacular opportunity in The Islands on the Manatee River - one of the area’s most iconic waterfront neighborhoods, celebrated for its character-filled streets, high-end custom homes, and prime riverfront setting. This exceptional property is positioned on a private cul-de-sac and backs to a scenic lagoon which offers breathtaking Western views. A nature site of protected waters and land never to be built upon teems with wildlife and rests in view for mornings connected to the nature of Florida living.

Inside, light-filled interiors showcase wide-plank flooring, shiplap detailing, soaring ceilings, and expansive impact windows and doors that frame the water views. The chef’s kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large center island with seating, premium appliances, and designer lighting. It flows seamlessly into the open great room and dining spaces, making it ideal for entertaining. Retreat to the spacious primary suite, where serene water views and a spa-inspired bath create a true sanctuary. Each guest suite has access to a bathroom (one is ensuite) and the private guest terrace, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike.
