People often ask me if you can find a home in East Manatee where you can keep your boat and enjoy a championship golf course. At Waterlefe Golf & River Club, you can have both.

This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home offers everything you've been looking for. Inside you'll find hardwood floors throughout, soaring ceilings, a skylight that fills the home with natural light, and an open floor plan designed for everyday living and entertaining. The owners combined two bedrooms to create a spacious guest bonus room or suite, providing exceptional comfort for family and visitors.

The kitchen opens to the main living area, making it easy to stay connected while entertaining. Step outside to your private lanai featuring a sparkling pool and spa, a fully equipped summer kitchen that's perfect for grilling your fresh catch, and peaceful water views. The spacious 3 car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, golf carts, and all your Florida toys.

Just outside your back door, your private dock with a 12,000-pound boat lift provides easy access to the Manatee River and the Gulf of Mexico.

Waterlefe is one of the few communities where you can golf in the morning, spend the afternoon on your boat, and meet friends and family at the clubhouse for dinner that evening. Community amenities include a Ted McAnlis designed championship golf course, marina, River Club restaurant and tiki bar, fitness center, junior Olympic pool, nature trails, and 24-hour guard-gated security.

If you've been looking for the complete Florida lifestyle, you'll want to put this home at the top of your list. Be sure to view the 3D tour and schedule your private showing today.
