This is the highly sought after and hard to find COLONADE model with a most desirable 3rd floor location; literally NO BUILDINGS to the west and no one ABOVE you. You will feel like you are living on a private island surrounded by nature, with incredible views of the golf course, water and preserve. With windows to the south, west and north, this condo is awash with light. The split bedroom plan provides full privacy for the owner when guests come to visit. The den has double pocket doors that can be left open to add space or closed for use as an office or even as a 3rd bedroom. The lanai becomes your outdoor living room as you watch boats sail on the Manatee River, spot many species of native and migrating birds, and even a few alligators drifting along the pond. Glorious sunsets add to your already amazing views. Upgrades include newer carpeting in the bedrooms and den, neutral paint throughout, newer sink and faucet and disposal in the kitchen and newer faucets in the bathrooms, extra storage in the laundry room; new light fixtures; lanai fan and NO-SEEUM screening. The fully shelved storage unit can be used for bikes and beach chairs. This is easy, breezy Florida living and all you have to do is enjoy all the amenities River Strand has to offer with a SOCIAL membership. The clubhouse offers a restaurant with a variety of dining options and an outdoor patio. Enjoy our beautiful Florida weather while relaxing in the handicap accessible resort style pool, resistance pool and heated spa. You can also order food and beverages from the Tiki bar, where members gather for corn-hole tournaments, and live entertainment. Other clubhouse amenities include a pool table and library room, fitness center, aerobics room, locker rooms, conference room and card room. Six additional satellite pools can be found throughout the community for use by all members. If racquet sports interest you there are 9 Har-tru tennis courts, and 8 pickleball courts with Pros on site. Two fitness rooms with state-of-the-art equipment are open 24 hours a day with key card entry. There is a second resort style pool and spa and community room for social gatherings, where Mah Jong, Bridge and other games are played. Throughout the year the club has on-going fun like Name that Tune, Trivia, Bingo and holiday and dance parties, and a multitude of entertainers. The full-time Lifestyle Director makes sure there are activities for everyone's interest including health and wellness, education, crafts and more. The location is spot on with I-75 giving access to Tampa, St. Pete, Sarasota, and major airports. A 100-acre shopping and dining complex is currently being built at the Costco site within Heritage Harbour. If you are downsizing or looking for a second home this is Must-See. Put it at the top of your list and you will look no further.
