Light, bright and perfectly positioned in Rosedale, this home puts the best of the community right outside your door—with the clubhouse literally across the street and the 1st tee of the golf course as your backyard view. Inside, high ceilings, a wall of windows and multiple oversized sliders from the kitchen, dining and living areas fill the home with natural light and create an easy connection to the outdoors. The split floor plan offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a separate den, with the primary suite privately positioned at the back of the home and the guest bedroom and bath toward the front. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen opens to the main living areas and offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, a breakfast bar and room for a separate casual dining area. A newer refrigerator and range (2022), along with a 2026 microwave and disposal, round out the space. Wood-look tile extends throughout the living room, dining room and den, with newer carpet in both bedrooms, and the HVAC was replaced in 2024. Outdoor living is a standout here. The oversized screened lanai provides plenty of room for dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the golf course view, while a separate side courtyard gives you another inviting outdoor space surrounded by mature landscaping. The extended garage provides additional space for a golf cart or extra storage, and the garage door opener was replaced in 2024. This maintenance-free section of Rosedale offers the flexibility of optional Golf & Country Club membership and no CDD fee. The HOA includes landscape maintenance, roof cleaning and exterior painting, while the master association provides 24-hour manned gates, basic cable and internet, and care of the community’s common areas, roads and sidewalks. Club members can enjoy the 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ted McAnlis, lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, a junior Olympic-size pool, wellness center, and clubhouse with dining, a lounge and bistro patio. Tucked away behind the gates yet close to Lakewood Ranch, I-75, Bradenton and Sarasota, this is an easy place to enjoy the Florida lifestyle.
