Riverbay is a wonderful townhome community located between the Manatee River and the shoreline of Terra Ceia Bay. Original owners paid a premium for this more desirable and private location within the community. This end-unit provides bright, natural light with views of the preserve and no other townhomes close by. The in-law suite, which could also be used as a fourth bedroom, office/den or workout room, is on the first level, along with a screened-in porch area and a separate storage closet. Going up the private elevator to the second level is the first balcony, family and dining room with beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring and crown molding. Kitchen has upgraded quartz countertops, tile backsplash, 42-inch cherry wood cabinetry with under-lighting, pantry, new oven, breakfast bar, dinette area and a half-bath close by. Master suite, on the third level, has a private balcony with peeks of Terra Ceia Bay, a totally renovated master bath with dual vanities, wood-like tile flooring, quartz countertops, a large walk-in shower and two walk-in closets. Two bedrooms, one bath and laundry are also on the third level. New AC, freshly painted throughout, garage and front door have extra hurricane protection, a two-car garage with ceiling storage, paver driveway, and convenient parking spaces next to home are a few of the extra features. Riverbay has a nature walk, fishing pier, heated community pool, kayak launch, boat slips (if available) and is located minutes to Emerson Point Preserve with 365 acres on Snead Island, Bradenton Yacht Club, several marinas, a hospital and white sandy beaches. Easy access to I-275, I-75 and three major airports less than an hour away. Come live the maintenance-free Florida lifestyle.
