Description
A breathtaking sanctuary on the Manatee River. This is what comes to mind the moment you step inside 11412 Harbourside Lane. Built by renowned area builder Lee Wetherington, this custom waterfront residence boasts awe-inspiring panoramic river and protected wetland preserve views, an unparalleled array of luxurious amenities, and abundant dockage for multiple watercraft. The expansive great room plan offers three en-suite bedrooms, a home office, a spacious bonus room, and three-and-one-half baths. Exceptional craftsmanship and fine detailing are showcased throughout, including tray ceilings with crown molding, porcelain plank tile flooring, impact-rated windows and doors, and exquisite custom millwork. A spectacular bonus room features a floor-to-ceiling custom entertainment wall complete with a library ladder, soft accent lighting, and a sleek linear fireplace that creates an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The owner's retreat offers true solace, highlighted by an expansive picture window overlooking the water and two custom-designed walk-in closets. The luxurious owner's bath features an oversized double walk-in shower, dual quartz vanities, and ample space to add a freestanding tub if desired. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned in a private wing, each offering guests private baths and spacious walk-in closets. A beautifully appointed executive office filled with natural light built in features sits at the front of the home. A contemporary kitchen showcases exceptional appointments, including an oversized Cambria quartz island, soft-close cabinetry, pull-outs, hidden storage, bespoke hardware and lighting, and a hand cut glass backsplash. Beyond this, 10-foot disappearing sliding doors reveal the true magic of this extraordinary property...an idyllic waterfront setting where cooler evenings are spent gathered with family and friends, and peaceful mornings begin with views of dolphin and manatee and the song of parrots and native birds inhabiting the protected islets in the distance. The expansive lanai offers generous covered areas for lounging and dining beside the heated saltwater pool and spa, perfectly positioned against dramatic, uninterrupted water views framed by a ClearView screen enclosure. The outdoor living space also features a fully equipped summer kitchen and a striking linear gas fireplace, creating the ultimate setting. For adventure enthusiasts, the private dock is equally impressive, featuring a 10,000-pound boat lift, a floating dual kayak launch, and additional floating dock for two jet skis. From your backyard, enjoy direct access to the Manatee River, downtown Bradentons waterfront restaurants, or spend the day exploring the Gulf of America. Residents of The Islands on the Manatee River enjoy a serene, gated waterfront lifestyle just minutes from Lakewood Ranch, premier shopping, and exceptional dining. Community amenities include The River Lodge clubhouse, fitness center, boat launch, pavilion, fire pit, and recreational lawn games. Optional membership to River Wilderness Golf & Country Club further enhances the lifestyle with an 18-hole golf course, restaurant and bar, resort-style pool, pickleball and tennis courts.
