Lakewood Ranch, FL—Lee Wetherington Homes has begun construction of the Magnolia, one of five stunning home designs offered in Cypress Glen at River Wilderness. Only 47 homesites are available—25 with a lakefront setting—in this new enclave of maintenance-free luxury homes. Multi-award-winning Lee Wetherington Homes, recognized as “America’s Best Builder, is the exclusive builder for this community, which is nestled within the gates of the prestigious, amenities-rich, River Wilderness Golf and Country Club in Parrish, Florida. Here a discerning homebuyer can select a dream home from one of the five home designs, then personalize it by choosing among six popular exterior architectural options: two Neo-Classical, two Coastal, a French Country plan, or a West Indies design. The furnished Magnolia model, which opens in early 2019, provides two bedrooms plus a third bedroom or den flex, a dining area, a great room, two baths, and a “Florida basement”—extra space for storage—within its 2,017 square feet of living space. The Magnolia also includes a two-car garage and an exquisite outdoor living area. Living areas of the Cypress Glen homes range from the Juniper (1,644 square feet), with two bedrooms and two baths to the Royal Palm (about 2,360 square feet), with three bedrooms and two baths. Each home features an open, flowing design that seamlessly blends its elegant interior with an outstanding outdoor living area by LeeSure Water Pools. All windows and sliding glass doors are made of impact glass, eliminating the need for storm shutters. Each home also includes many of the exquisite architectural details that comprise “The Lee Wetherington Difference” such as niches; step ceilings; a creative mixture of wood, stone, glass, quartz, and granite finishes; disappearing corners; and more. In addition the homes provide maintenance-free yards. Prices in Cypress Glen are in the mid-$400,000s, including a standard homesite. With so few homesites available, the interest list is growing quickly and significantly according to CEO Gregg Carlson. “We designed Cypress Glen for empty-nesters and others who want a smaller home but don’t want to skimp on amenities. Our buyers have welcomed this approach,” he said. “Cypress Glen provides privacy, security, and the country-club lifestyle offered within River Wilderness Golf and Country Club.” Members of the Club can also enjoy the benefits of an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by well-known course architect Ted McAnlis; a 27,000-square-foot clubhouse; tennis and other sports; and an abundant social life. Cypress Glen at River Wilderness is in the heart of Florida’s Gulf Coast, away from it all yet near to everything. The Fort Hamer Bridge, a north-south connector, now brings the community within easy reach of Lakewood Ranch. Cypress Glen is about ten minutes from I-75 and within easy driving distance to Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota. The community is close to sugar-sand beaches, three airports, and the acclaimed cultural, educational and sports activities of the Tampa Bay area. Now that the Fort Hamer Bridge is open, homebuyers can also enjoy the quicker drive to the shops, restaurants, entertainment and recreational opportunities in Lakewood Ranch, University Town Center and Nathan Benderson Park. Since its founding over 40 years ago, Lee Wetherington Homes has brought high quality and innovative design to over 4,000 homes. Besides Cypress Glen at River Wilderness, the company currently offers exquisite residences in The Islands on the Manatee River, The Founders Club, and the Lakewood Ranch communities of LakeHouse Cove, Country Club East, and The Lake Club. Each of these communities offers unique amenities to homebuyers, often including a country club lifestyle with golf, a clubhouse, tennis, swimming and other options.
