816 WHOOPING CRANE CT

Oh my, what a view - day and night time - this south facing home has it all! Your own dock/lift, a navigable canal to the Manatee River, your view sitting on the Signature Par Five 10th hole and a preserve - not a another home in sight...arguably the best lot in Waterlefe...and at night it gets better as a 35,000 lumen light shines on the large oak tree in the fairway...so nice the neighbors won't let you take it away! This Merrick model was originally built for a family member of the builder staff and a lot of "extra's here" including a 100sqft extension on the primary suite, double tray ceilings in most rooms, crown molding abound, plantation shutters, hurricane protection on the lanai before required, plus this owner has resurfaced the pool, newer KitchenAid stainless appliances with convection double wall ovens, outdoor kitchen and more. Step beyond the pool cage to your own dock with 10,000lb lift - oh yeah, the bass fishing here should be called bass catching - especially at night near the light! This 3/3 Merrick model features a dedicated office, a study/den and a huge open space, the great room features high ceilings and a kitchen open to the living spaces and captures that view - very much a home you will cherish. The side mounted garage features 3 spaces, an epoxy floor as well as ample built-in cabinetry. Why am I not buying this one?!?!?! More than a neighborhood, Waterlefe Residents have access to many options...centered around the Waterlefe River Club with new updates just completed featuring a Restaurant, Bar, Fitness Center, Meeting Space, Tiki Bar and Jr Olympic Pool - the heartbeat of the neighborhood! Imagine days with friends at daily fitness classes, card games, social functions, book clubs and more - your social calendar is full! Golf Club Membership as well as Marina Slips are available yet optional (the course has re-opened to rave reviews and the golf clubhouse is undergoing renovation opening soon) Phenomenal Cable TV, WIFI and Internet INCLUDED in HOA fees.. Come see this incredible home and view in person and you'll know why this will be your new Waterlefe Home - as an original Waterlefe home it is exempt from the financing portion of the CDD which is included in taxes amount
