A beautiful backyard setting, peaceful water views, and privacy that's hard to find! Tucked into the quiet community of Raven Crest, this home sits on a spacious lot with no rear neighbors and a picturesque backdrop of water, mature trees, and local wildlife. The backyard is truly a highlight, featuring a large heated saltwater pool installed in 2020, complete with therapy jets and two new LED pool lights installed in 2026 with a lifetime warranty. Beyond the pool, an expansive brick paver patio with a wood-burning firepit provides another inviting space to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the natural surroundings under the stars. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers 3,104 square feet of living space, with plenty of room to gather, work, and unwind. The main living area features an open-concept design with the kitchen overlooking the spacious family room, while a separate den provides a dedicated space for a home office. An additional flex room at the front of the home offers even more possibilities, whether used as a formal dining room, sitting room, or playroom. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, a generous bonus room provides a second living area, ideal for movie nights, a game room, or a place for everyone to spread out. All three bedrooms are located upstairs, along with the conveniently located laundry room. The primary suite is especially impressive, offering an abundance of space and its own private sitting/living room, creating a comfortable retreat away from the rest of the home. The suite also features two walk-in closets and a spacious ensuite bath. Additional highlights include a new roof in 2022, exterior paint in 2023, spray foam insulation, generous attic storage, and a brick paver driveway. Raven Crest is a quiet neighborhood with no through traffic, low HOA fees, and no CDD fees. Conveniently located near the Fort Hamer Bridge and Boat Ramp, the Manatee River, shopping, restaurants, and everyday essentials, with easy access to Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, and Bradenton. Zoned for Parrish Community High School for the 2026-2027 school year, with zoning scheduled to change to Lakewood Ranch High School for 2027-2028.
