Calling all boaters to Sanctuary Cove, a sought-after gated luxury community along the Manatee River. Enjoy easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and boating destinations including St. Petersburg, Anna Maria Island, and Sarasota. This beautifully cared-for pool home brings together generous living space, custom details, and an outdoor retreat made for everyday vacation living. Situated on an 80-by-120-foot homesite, this home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a split floor plan, a fully fenced yard, and a three-car garage with 8-foot-tall impact-rated doors that can accommodate a full-size truck. Exterior and practical upgrades include a barrel tile roof, full gutters, a built-in pest system, two gas tankless water heaters, stucco finish, bronze impact windows, whole-house water filtration, refreshed landscaping, and widened driveways on both sides. Inside, bright, open living spaces flow naturally for entertaining. A striking 13-foot feature wall sets the tone at the entry, while a custom wine wall distinguishes the formal dining room. In the spacious living area, white oak box beams accent the tray ceiling, and a 22-foot built-in adds storage and somewhere to tastefully showcase your coastal adventures. The kitchen pairs quartz countertops and a glass tile backsplash with under-cabinet lighting and hidden outlets for a clean finish. Stainless steel Profile appliances include a 42-inch built-in refrigerator, two ovens, and a 36-inch gas cooktop; a second refrigerator is located in the garage. A full bar with a beverage refrigerator and custom lighting throughout the kitchen, dining, and living areas make gathering easy. The generous owner's suite accommodates a king-size bed and features a large walk-in closet and five-piece bath with a soaking tub and walk-in rain shower. Step outside to approximately 1,700 square feet of screened outdoor living beneath a 33-by-50-foot cage with upgraded screen. Low-maintenance Shellock pavers surround a full outdoor kitchen, TV, five LED deck jets, and a fully automated, heated and cooled saltwater sport pool with a waterfall spa. The 14-by-37-foot pool features four resort-style swim-up stools and a sitting deck; the spa measures 6 by 9 feet inside and has seven jets. Settle into a lounge chair for sunrise, then enjoy sunset from the pool chairs. Sanctuary Cove's amenities are just a golf cart ride away: a private clubhouse, resort-style pool and hot tub, gym, community beach, and protected freshwater harbor. Located in Zone X, the home has not flooded or sustained storm damage since its construction in 2022; the seller reports that flood insurance has not been required. This friendly, active community is minutes from shopping, dining, and sugar-sand beaches, with Detwiler's Market right across the street. Come see the home and the boating lifestyle waiting for you here.
