One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Situated along one of the most iconic stretches of Riverview Boulevard, this waterfront estate commands a rare 1.79-acre setting on a high bluff overlooking the Manatee River. Offering a combination of acreage, elevation, privacy, and water frontage seldom found in today's market, this is a property that presents both immediate enjoyment and exceptional future potential. Approaching the residence, the scale of the property becomes immediately apparent. Mature trees, expansive grounds, and a commanding presence create an estate-like atmosphere, while the elevated position captures breathtaking views of the river from multiple vantage points throughout the home and property. Spanning over two levels, the residence offers 7 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, with an expansive floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living, large family gatherings, and entertaining on a grand scale. The home is filled with natural light and showcases beautiful hardwood flooring, generous room sizes, multiple gathering spaces, and walls of glass that frame the stunning waterfront backdrop. The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, thoughtfully designed with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, dual islands, abundant storage, stainless steel appliances, and extensive workspace for both casual dining and entertaining. Open sightlines connect the kitchen to the dining and living areas, creating a seamless flow that is ideal for hosting family and guests. The spacious main living area offers panoramic river views, hardwood flooring, and a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Additional living and recreation spaces throughout the home provide flexibility for a variety of lifestyles, whether accommodating a large family, working from home, hosting guests, or creating dedicated hobby and entertainment areas. A separate entrance provides outstanding potential for a private in-law suite, guest quarters, executive home office, or multi-generational living arrangement. The versatility of the floor plan allows future owners the opportunity to tailor the home to their specific needs while preserving its substantial footprint and unique character. Large windows throughout the primary living areas capture sweeping views of the Manatee River, creating a backdrop that changes throughout the day with passing boats, wildlife, and sunsets New impact windows are currently being installed across the rear elevation of the home, further enhancing the views. Outside, the property unfolds into a private waterfront setting that is increasingly difficult to replicate. The expansive grounds provide ample room for future enhancements, outdoor entertaining or the creation of a custom resort-style environment. The elevated bluff setting not only provides spectacular long-range views of the water but also creates a sense of privacy and distinction that sets this property apart from many traditional waterfront homes. Combined with nearly two acres of land, the result is a setting that feels both grand and secluded while remaining conveniently located near the area's dining, shopping and beaches. For buyers seeking a premier waterfront address, substantial acreage, and the opportunity to create a truly personalized riverfront estate this is the one!
