RARELY AVAILABLE PENTHOUSE END UNIT at GRAND ESTUARY CONDOS, in 24-hour gated RIVER STRAND! Perched on the top floor for maximum privacy, this penthouse end unit delivers a combined golf and lakefront view from your lanai — overlooking the 7th green and fairway (widely regarded as the course's most challenging hole) with the lush estuary vegetation of the Manatee River as your backdrop. This turnkey-furnished 2BR/2BA golfer's retreat is immaculate and move-in ready, with a new Carrier A/C heat pump and a Samsung washer/dryer, both installed in 2025. The deeded carport is just steps from the central elevator. The sale includes 2 deeded golf memberships at River Strand Golf & Country Club, home to a 27-hole championship course designed by world-renowned architect Arthur Hills (transfer fee: just $610). Off the kitchen, a wine refrigerator awaits in the "keeping room" — currently a cozy lounge, easily converted to a formal dining space if you prefer. NOT PLANNING TO LIVE HERE FULL TIME? The association permits leasing for a minimum of one month, up to 12 times a year with association approval of tenant, and your tenant can access the club facilities and golf for a small fee. RESORT STYLE AMENITIES: River Strand recently completed an $8.5 million clubhouse renovation - the dining room, bar, new outdoor "Terrace" dining and library are all brand new. And the best part: the special assessment has been paid in full by the owner. Residents also enjoy six community pools, plus a fitness center, aerobics room, resort-style pool, resistance pool and heated spa at the Clubhouse. Certified teaching pros are on-site at both the Golf Pro Shop and Racquet Sports Pro Shop, along with the latest apparel and gear. Easy access to I-75, Sarasota and Tampa airports, the UTC Mall. Everyday convenience is covered too, with Whole Foods and Target both about 2 miles away. When you're not golfing or enjoying the amenities, take advantage of the proximity of our world renowned beaches of Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and Siesta Key and the arts and theater culture of Sarasota/Bradenton. If this lifestyle appeals to you, schedule your private showing today. All dimensions are approximate.
