11815 RIVE ISLE RUN

This one-of-a-kind, river front, timeless beauty boasts 5,844 sf of pure luxury living and sits on .55 acres surrounded by 180-degrees of breath-taking views of the Manatee River that are seen from most rooms in the home. From the moment you enter, you will feel enchanted and in awe of the masterful beauty in front of you. As you enter through the 18-ft wrought iron and glass doors and into the foyer, you are greeted with stately charm and architectural elegance. Your first line of sight will be the bowed two-story windows that gives view to the open pool and patio and in turn, the water view of the Manatee River. The Living Room’s stone gas fireplace is a work of art, rising 24-ft to meet with the first of the home’s 17-custom ceilings. The massive spiral staircase leads you to a gazebo with domed ceiling that overlooks the rooms at the front of the home. As you follow the home’s flow, you will pass through an alcove with a groin vault ceiling that serves as the butler area complete with ice maker and refrigerator for ease in entertainment for the first floor and outside gathering spaces. Thereafter, you are led into the open concept kitchen and family room. The kitchen’s breakfast nook is optimally located to view the morning sunrise. Imagine waking to coffee from the built-in coffee maker and sitting and sipping as you plan your day and enjoy the warmth from the sunshine. The gourmet kitchen comes complete with a GE Monogram refrigerator, GE double wall ovens, Kitchen Aid full dishwasher, Fischer Paykel half dishwasher, microwave, full sink and prep sink and hidden pantry big enough to double as a storm room. The family room is the perfect place to retreat at the end of the day. It’s pocketing sliding doors open to the screened in lanai with built in gas fireplace, TV and cabana with GE Monogram grill with rotisserie/smoker and sink.

The area includes a wet bar stocked with ice maker, half dishwasher and refrigerator, 7-seat theater room with HD rear-projection screening, and bonus gathering area with multiple pocketing sliders leading to the wrap-around balcony with picturesque views of the Manatee River. The second floor also houses the guest wing with three bedrooms, one with an ensuite and access to the home’s attic and two share a Jack and Jill.
