Description

Welcome to River Wilderness—where Florida living feels intentional, refined, and refreshingly not cookie-cutter. Tucked away on a quiet, wooded street in Parrish’s only gated golf community, this beautifully maintained single-family home offers the rare combination of privacy, space, and flexibility buyers crave—but almost never find. With 2 bedrooms + a den/study easily converted to a 3rd bedroom, 2 baths, and 2,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, this home lives larger than the numbers suggest. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the vaulted and high ceilings, fresh interior paint, and a clean, timeless palette accented by tile and engineered wood flooring, with brand-new carpet in the family room and bedrooms. Details matter here—crown molding, faux wood blinds, and maple cabinetry elevate the space, while a new HVAC system and new stainless steel appliances (including refrigerator) bring peace of mind. The heart of Florida living is outdoors—and this home delivers. A spacious, covered and enclosed screened lanai, with access from three rooms in the home, becomes your private retreat, overlooking a serene preserve with no rear neighbors (and no front neighbors as well). Morning coffee, intimate dinners or happy hours, quiet evenings surrounded by nature—this is the kind of outdoor living that sells the lifestyle, not just the house. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower—a spa-like escape at the end of the day. Add in an oversized, extended 2-car garage (complete with exterior door to yard, new garage door opener, and freshly painted garage floor), washer and dryer, tile roof, and you’ve got a home that’s as practical as it is polished. Located in **The Hammocks**, River Wilderness’ **maintenance-free area**, residents enjoy their own private community pool, while still having access to the broader amenities of this 18-hole championship golf community. Optional memberships mean you can enjoy a beautifully remodeled country club complete with restaurant dining (also open to the public on a select few days of the week), a more casual pub/bar to enjoy after a round of golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness center, resort-style pool, and a calendar of social events, without mandatory country club fees. (Club Amenities & membership types/fee information available). Set along the Manatee River, River Wilderness also offers a boat ramp, boat & RV storage, and manned gate security, all with NO CDD fees. And no worries: this serene oasis home is located in an X flood zone for peace of mind. This is Gulf Coast Florida at its best—close to world-class beaches but without the tourist traffic , year-round outdoor recreation, and yet tucked into a quiet, upscale community that appeals equally to families, professionals, and those no longer working seeking privacy, prestige, and lifestyle without pretense. Homes like this—**move-in ready, gated, golf-community living in 34219**—are rare. This one? Even rarer.
