Half an acre of Florida sunshine with room to breathe. This 2017 block home in Rye Wilderness Estates offers the kind of space that's hard to find in Bradenton, while keeping Lakewood Ranch, I-75, SR 70 and SR 64 within easy reach. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2,612 heated square feet in a thoughtfully designed split floor plan with tray ceilings. The upgraded kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a stylish vent hood, stainless steel appliances and opens naturally to the great room for easy everyday living and entertaining. Tile and laminate flooring run throughout the home-NO Carpet. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, while a second bedroom with its own private bath is ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Out back, a spacious screened lanai with its own half bath creates an easy indoor-outdoor setup, with plenty of room on the half-acre homesite to add a pool. The oversized 3-car side-entry garage provides extra space for vehicles and toys. A tile roof, NO CDD, low HOA dues of just $230 per quarter, and Flood Zone X add to the appeal. Rye Wilderness Estates is golf-cart friendly and offers a dog park, community park and playground. Spend the weekend launching a kayak at nearby Rye Preserve, fishing Lake Manatee, or heading west to Anna Maria Island. Space, privacy and room for the Florida lifestyle-without giving up convenient access to dining, shopping and everything else Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch have to offer.
