Nestled on 2.25 fully fenced acres in the highly desirable Sundance community, this beautifully maintained traditional Key West-style home offers privacy, functionality, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. A gated entry with lighted pillars leads to a circular drive and a park-like, wooded setting with walking trails, native landscaping, fruit trees, and multiple firepit areas--creating a peaceful retreat just minutes from modern conveniences. Inside, the home features a well-designed layout that balances openness with separation. The living room showcases vaulted ceilings and scenic views of the outdoor living space while remaining distinct from the kitchen and dining areas. The main-floor primary suite is privately positioned near the living area and features an en-suite bath with custom marble floors and counters, a large walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet with additional storage beneath the stairs. The kitchen includes custom granite countertops, window sills, tile flooring, a coffee bar, breakfast nook, and dining bar. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with oversized closets and a large loft overlooking the living room--ideal for a home office, media room, or flex space--along with abundant storage including walk-in attic access, utility closets, and storage above the garage. French doors open to an approximately 1,800 sq ft screened lanai featuring a custom heated saltwater pool measuring approximately 30' x 15' with a 7' depth, sun shelf, bench seating, and a spacious hot tub. The lanai includes two propane hookups for grills or a future outdoor kitchen and offers peaceful sunset views that silhouette the surrounding trees. Notable upgrades include PGT WinGuard hurricane-impact windows, two Trane HVAC systems, a Rheem water heater with hot water comfort system, well pump and drop pipe replacement (2019), new roof (2024), Hayward TurboCell salt chlorinator, new carpet (2024), updated window treatments, a freshly painted exterior, and a spacious two-car garage. The expansive rear yard provides ample space for a future barn or shed. Sundance is a unique riverfront and equestrian community offering a private marina and boat launch on the Little Manatee River, two community docks with water and electric, equestrian facilities with a barn and paddocks, direct access to nearby riding trails and Little Manatee State Park, a community park, and seasonal neighborhood events--all with a low annual HOA fee of approximately $241. This exceptional property delivers acreage, privacy, lifestyle amenities, and peace of mind in a truly distinctive setting.
