Golf course community living at its finest! Welcome to the award-winning “Crystal” by MI Homes, boasting 2,314 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a den and three-car garage. This elegant home is nestled in Cypress Glen, an exclusive community of 40 newer homes in the gated River Wilderness Golf & Country Club, which features an 18-hole golf course, restaurant, Junior Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, and much more.
This modern home exudes Old Florida charm, with its tile roof with stainless steel accents, and front porch made of all natural stone. It also sports a gorgeous brick-paver driveway and lush, tropical landscaping offering a colorful feast for the eyes – a constant reminder of why you live in South Florida!
Stepping into the foyer, you’re greeted by a grand entry hall with 9-foot ceilings. The 8-foot interior doors give the home extra depth. Off the foyer sits the front bedroom with en-suite full bath and tub – perfect for children or guests who want privacy.
Moving down the hall, you’ll notice the high-end porcelain tile floors throughout the home. Off the hallway is the cozy den (can be a fourth bedroom) with double doors and picture windows offering abundant natural light.
From there, the home expands into an impressive combination dining/great-room living space with 10-foot tray ceiling. This opens directly into the café and gourmet kitchen, which has a clean, bright feel with its large island, white quartz countertops and tile, stainless-steel appliances and hood, and ample cabinetry throughout. A second spacious bedroom with its own full bath sits at the end of a short hall off the great room.
The private master suite rests in its own wing and has a spacious walk-in closet. The ensuite Master Bath boasts a large enclosed shower, double vanity and water closet.
Access the extended, screened-in lanai from the café or the great room, as the home features two sets of sliding glass doors, which can be fully extended for comfort on cool Florida nights.
The home features several modern features including a 50-year tile roof, and insulation that will greatly reduce your AC bill. Updates since 2023: 1) Ceiling fans in most rooms and lanai; 2) Sherwin Williams Emerald paint in most rooms; 2) Paver driveway, front walk and porch sealed (Gorilla Kleen); 3) New window treatments, including Hunter Douglas woven woods, and motorized rollers shades for all sliding glass doors.
Country club membership is optional, but you can choose a fitness/social membership (without golf) with no joining fee; and dues are very reasonable compared to other clubs in the area. The community also offers free access to a boat ramp on the Manatee River, leading to the Gulf and world class beaches – as well as boat and RV storage. Plus – no CDDs!
Lastly, enjoy all that Parrish has to offer, including new shops and restaurants opening almost weekly, and a new park with splash pad for the kids only five minutes away. Not to mention the Blue-Ribbon Annie Williams K-5 School just across the road.
Access it all from two 24-hour guarded gates – the main gate on Old Tampa, and another on Fort Hamer Road, just north of the Fort Hamer Bridge.
This home offers the best of both worlds, as you will be 35 minutes from both St. Pete Beach and Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, and 45 minutes from two airports. This one won’t last long. Make it yours before it’s gone.
