About this home
Tucked away in the exclusive and serene enclave of River Forest, 5935 River Forest Circle offers an unparalleled lifestyle defined by privacy, nature, and the quiet luxury of riverfront living. Set on 1.44 lush acres where the Braden River and Williams Creek gently converge, this custom-built estate is "close to everything, yet so far away." Just minutes from dining, shopping, I-75, and downtown Bradenton, you'll feel worlds apart as you arrive down a private winding drive shaded by native pines and oaks.
This expansive brick residence has been meticulously updated with thoughtful enhancements, including a brand new A/C system (2024), new roof (2023), and new plush carpeting in the bedrooms for added comfort. The home’s striking interior showcases gleaming marble floors, freshly painted cabinetry, updated lighting fixtures, stylish new ceiling fans, and designer finishes throughout. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, a center island, and a brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher—perfectly positioned to overlook the breakfast nook and spacious living areas with panoramic views of the river just beyond.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home features an expansive screened-in lanai and an elegant open-air deck—ideal for entertaining or enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the tranquil natural surroundings. The primary suite is a light-filled sanctuary with large windows, private deck access, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in marble shower. A clever pocket door addition transforms the second bath into a convenient Jack and Jill layout for guest privacy and ease.
Additional highlights include a generous three-car garage with updated blinds, a newly fenced side yard perfect for pets, a spacious laundry room with built-in cabinetry, new flood lighting around the property, and upgraded window treatments in the master, living room, and garage.
River Forest is a community born from harmony with nature—where peaceful walking paths, a scenic bridge, and a community fishing pier offer connection to the river and surrounding wildlife. With only a few dozen homes, it remains one of the area’s best-kept secrets for those seeking a true waterfront retreat with acreage, character, and timeless charm.
A rare opportunity to own a modernized, move-in-ready riverfront estate in one of Manatee County’s most treasured communities.
