Property Description
Located within the gated community of Waterlefe Golf & River Club, this residence on Big Bass Place offers a compelling mix of privacy, space, and meaningful structural upgrades, paired with a layout that works for everyday living. Set along a quiet interior street, the home immediately makes an impression with 22-foot soaring ceilings and a bright, open interior that creates volume without sacrificing defined living areas.
The main living spaces are designed with both comfort and function in mind, flowing seamlessly between the great room, dining area, and kitchen. Granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a practical layout make the kitchen equally suited for daily use or hosting. The primary suite is generously sized and thoughtfully separated for privacy, featuring dual walk-in closets and a rare his-and-her bathroom configuration, along with a garden tub that adds a classic, relaxed touch. Additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, extended stays, or a dedicated office.
From a systems and maintenance standpoint, the heavy lifting has already been done. The home features a newer roof backed by a 30-year warranty, two HVAC units replaced within the past 18 months, and a whole-house generator—improvements that matter and significantly reduce near-term ownership concerns. The pool cage has also been fully refurbished and freshly painted, giving the outdoor space a clean, updated feel.
Out back, the covered lanai takes full advantage of the private setting, creating a comfortable space to relax or entertain. A full summer kitchen and dedicated pool bath add real functionality, making this an outdoor area that’s actually usable year-round—not just for show.
Waterlefe continues to stand out as one of the more established communities in the area. Set along the Manatee River, it offers direct boating access via a community marina, a rarity for a golf community. Residents also have access to a championship golf course (optional membership), clubhouse with dining, fitness center, resort-style pool, and a full calendar of social events that keeps the neighborhood active without feeling transient.
With 24-hour guarded entry, mature landscaping, and a track record that’s held up over time, Waterlefe attracts buyers who understand the difference between new and proven. Whether it’s a primary residence, seasonal home, or long-term hold, this property checks the boxes that actually matter in today’s market.
