Light and bright pastels reflect the open water views from this immaculate classic coastal Rutenberg designed home. A gated community of newer homes, Hawk Island, offers everything you hope to find on a private island without the exposure and inconvenience. Mile wide water views of the Manatee River and protected deep water dockage on the canal define a gracious Florida lifestyle. Luxury features include high ceilings (12 ft) an open floor plan with four bedrooms, three baths, formal dining room and den office. High-impact rated sliding doors reveal the pebble stone saltwater pool, and travertine deck. The caged pool area features a spa, and gas fire pit. Noseeum mesh screening encourages full use of the outdoor shower and summer kitchen. Inside a flowing floor plan is accented with fine finishes that include porcelain tile floors throughout the main living areas, a cook’s kitchen with quartz counters, gas cooktop and oven, walk-in pantry, and wet bar. A separate master wing en suite arrangement with engineered wood floors in the bedroom, and marble bathroom with natural light throughout will satisfy the most discerning taste. The large garage has abundant cabinet storage, butcher block workspace, and new whole-house hot water on demand. Hawk Island is located conveniently near shopping, and also provides quick access to I75 (3.5 miles). Work or play from Sarasota to St. Pete; it’s all within easy reach. Enjoy living on the pristine Manatee River with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Consider the mainland alternative to the seasonal crowding, traffic, red tide, and exposure on the barrier islands.
