Unbeatable value in highly coveted Rivers Ridge! Built in 1998, this estate is one of just 36 custom homes in this exclusive boutique neighborhood. Priced to sell at $650,000 to reflect the need for pool restoration, this 4-bed, 3-bath plus den property offers a rare chance to design your own backyard paradise and build massive equity. A comprehensive $23,600 quote is already in hand to completely overhaul the pool area, with a fast completion timeline of just 3 weeks. At this price point, the buyer has the incredible opportunity to choose their own custom PebbleTec finish, waterline tile, coping, and brick pavers-essentially walking away with a brand-new, customized luxury pool tailored exactly to their taste in less than 3 weeks. The major mechanical heavy lifting is already done: features a brand-new A/C (2026) and a roof only 8 years old. Additionally, a premium $4,700 LeafFilter gutter protection system was installed in October 2022, which transfers to the new owner with a lifetime warranty. Nestled on a generous 1/3-acre lot, this property boasts a fully fenced-in backyard for ultimate privacy, an oversized two-car garage, and a large driveway with plenty of parking. The spacious 2,722 sq ft split floor plan offers formal living/dining spaces, a bright eat-in kitchen, and a large family room opening out to the uncaged open-air pool deck. Location is a dream-just 15 minutes to the pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island, and minutes from kayak launches at Robinson Preserve and historic waterfront trails at DeSoto National Memorial. Excellent educational options nearby include top-rated public schools (Stewart, King, Manatee High) and the prestigious Saint Stephen's Episcopal School. Low annual HOA fees apply.
