From the moment you step through the elegant glass-accented front doors, the gentle Florida breeze welcomes you-and your eyes are immediately drawn through the open living area to the sparkling water views beyond. It's a breathtaking panorama that captures the true spirit of paradise living in Riverwood, where eagles and ospreys soar overhead, ibis and egrets glide gracefully toward the Myakka River, and the sights and sounds of nature create a tranquil symphony all around you.This beautifully crafted 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with Office/Den showcases a desirable split floor plan, dramatic 10-foot ceilings, and 8-foot doors throughout, creating an atmosphere of light, openness, and serenity.
