Imagine living where the best of the Florida lifestyle unfolds right outside your door. In Beacon Cove at River Place, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home on a quiet cul-de-sac offers a relaxed setting for everyday living, effortless entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. This home is located in a gated community with a low HOA fee, no CDD fees and a NEW ROOF on the way! The heart of the home opens through expansive sliding glass doors to a private retreat, where a heated pool with waterfall, spacious caged lanai and entertaining areas invite you to linger with friends and family outside. The primary suite opens directly to the pool area and provides a peaceful refuge with an impressive walk-in closet and ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower with seven shower heads and a private water closet. A separate area within the primary suite has flexibility for a sitting room, nursery or private office. The split plan separates the primary from 3 additional bedrooms and two baths. This light-filled home is enhanced by volume ceilings, a blend of laminate and tile flooring, and updated light fixtures and fans that add a fresh, polished feel throughout the main living areas. A large living room opens onto the lanai as does the open-plan family room and kitchen. The kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances, extensive cabinetry, generous counter space for daily meals and larger occasions. Multiple dining options make the space especially versatile, including a casual breakfast room, convenient counter seating and a separate dining room for more formal meals. The laundry room just off the kitchen adds everyday convenience and provides direct access to the two-car garage. River Place features a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool, playground, walking trails and kayak/small boat launch with access to the Braden River. You will be minutes from I-75, the shopping, restaurants, sports and nightlife of Lakewood Ranch, and the Gulf Coast's celebrated beaches, including Lido, Longboat Key, Holmes Beach and Coquina Beach, with Anna Maria Island beyond. This is a home that makes it easy to embrace everything you love about living in Florida. Two photos are virtually staged.
