Golf in the morning, take the boat out in the afternoon, and enjoy dinner at the club. That’s the Waterlefe lifestyle. Waterlefe Golf & River Club is one of the few communities in the Sarasota-Manatee area where you can truly have both golf and boating, all behind the gates and just minutes from Lakewood Ranch. This home puts you right in the middle of it, with a brand-new private boat dock and lift, beautiful golf course views and a cul-de-sac location. The great room floor plan offers an open layout with plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the bonus room adds even more flexibility with a large additional bedroom, full bath and private balcony overlooking the golf course. It’s a great space for guests, family or simply having extra room to spread out. The home has also had some significant recent improvements, including a brand-new roof, hurricane-rated impact windows and doors, impact hurricane screens for the lanai, updated landscaping and irrigation, a whole-house water purification system, an oversized 3-car garage, a new outdoor kitchen and an upgraded saltwater pool with a new pump and filter. The outdoor living is where this home really stands out. Enjoy the pool and outdoor kitchen overlooking the golf course, then head down to your private dock and take the boat out on the Manatee River. Having both golf and boating right outside your door is what makes Waterlefe so unique. The recently updated championship golf course offers memberships, or residents can play at discounted rates. The course was also recently named one of the Top 10 public courses in Florida. The resident-owned River Club adds another part of the Waterlefe lifestyle, with a restaurant and bar open from 7 AM to 7 PM, along with dining and social events, a heated community pool and tiki bar. Residents also have access to a kayak launch, while boat slips at the marina on the Manatee River are available for purchase. And the location is hard to beat. Waterlefe is just minutes from Lakewood Ranch, putting you close to shopping, restaurants, medical facilities and everyday conveniences, while still giving you the established feel and waterfront lifestyle of a gated community. If you’re looking for golf, boating, a great location and a Florida lifestyle that is hard to duplicate, this is Waterlefe.
