If you’ve toured enough new construction homes, you’ve probably noticed the pattern: smaller lots, homes packed closer together and CDD fees waiting at closing. Here, you get something increasingly rare in today’s communities: space. Real space. Space for the dogs to run. Space for a pool without sacrificing the entire backyard. Space for a putting green, future outbuilding or additional garage, expanded outdoor living, or simply a yard you can actually enjoy. There’s even a driveway that comfortably holds your vehicles instead of turning parking into a daily puzzle. The oversized corner lot gives you a backyard big enough for football games, Easter egg hunts, pets, parties, and the everyday activities that simply aren't possible on many of today's smaller lots. And Twin Rivers is the kind of neighborhood where you can hop on the golf cart for an evening ride, wave to the neighbors, and still come home to some elbow room. Built by Kemick Homes and positioned on a corner homesite in sought-after Twin Rivers, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home carries that sense of space inside as well. Impressive 10- to 12-foot ceilings, tray details, crown molding, plantation shutters, and architectural detailing give the home an open, elevated feel. Bamboo flooring connects the formal and casual living areas while still allowing each space to have its own purpose. At the center of the home, the kitchen opens to the family room and features white wood cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, and casual dining space. Formal living and dining rooms provide additional flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or simply spreading out. The private primary suite includes two walk-in closets and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a Roman-style shower, and garden tub. Two additional bedrooms share a bath on a separate wing, while the fourth bedroom, adjacent full bath, and separate entrance create an ideal setup for guests, extended family, a teen suite, or private home office. Additional highlights include an oversized screened lanai, three-car garage, and a roof replaced in 2020. Twin Rivers continues to be one of Parrish’s most desirable communities for a reason. Residents enjoy access to a community boat launch on the Manatee River along with nature trails, a fishing pier, kayak storage, playgrounds, parks, volleyball and basketball courts, picnic pavilions, low HOA fees and no CDD fees. The combination is getting harder to duplicate: a substantial homesite, mature landscaping, three-car garage, boating access, flexible living space, and a backyard where you still get to decide what comes next.
