Property Description

This home comes with a 13 MONTH HOME WARRANTY for buyer's Peace of Mind and to help make transitioning easier! Your private, tropical oasis awaits! Beautifully renovated 4-bed/3-bath/2-car POOL HOME tucked away in a private and sought-after neighborhood in West Bradenton and NOT in a flood zone. Minutes away from various dining options, shopping, and of course the gorgeous Florida beaches of Anna Maria Island, this home provides privacy without losing local convenience. At the end of a CUL-DE-SAC, find a long driveway and even a PARKING PAD with 220V electric: perfect space for RV or Boat Parking! Covered FRONT PORCH as well as an extraordinary and freshly painted COVERED/SCREENED LANAI leading into the backyard lagoon-style SALTWATER POOL & SPA with rock features, freshly painted deck, and even a waterfall! Lush tropical landscaping throughout this OVER HALF ACRE LOT, a fire pit area, potting bench with raised garden, and even a personal ZEN GARDEN POND with flowing water feature for ultimate relaxation. Choose one of the sitting areas on the CANAL that runs behind to enjoy wildlife watching, or pass time in the butterfly garden - there's no shortage of outdoor enjoyment in this paradise. Interior features abound as well: PLANTATION SHUTTERS, CROWN MOLDING, GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, CENTRAL VAC, and POCKET DOORS throughout for added privacy when desired. NO CARPET to contend with here: wood flooring in bedrooms, ceramic tile in bathrooms, and newer wood-look luxury vinyl plank in the common areas! The SPLIT-BEDROOM layout of this home is perfect for entertaining short or long-term guests without ever feeling crowded. The foyer opens into a traditional living room, which also accesses the formal dining room on into the completely UPDATED KITCHEN: pendant lights, undermount lighting, stainless steel appliances, large island, breakfast bar, wall oven with separate cooktop, and extensive storage. The kitchen opens into the Great Room with a breakfast nook/dinette on into the Family Room, marked by the gorgeous WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE with stone facade and the custom build-in serving as entertainment center. The Primary Bedroom features DUAL WALK-IN CLOSETS with cedar wood interior and an EN-SUITE BATHROOM complete with linen closet, dual-sink vanity, walk-in shower, and water closet. All secondary bedrooms can be closed off from the Great Room with pocket doors and include additional storage space above each closet. The fourth bedroom has its own EN-SUITE BATH! This bathroom has a dual-sink vanity, then a pocket door leading to what doubles as the POOL BATH with single-sink vanity and shower stall. This bathroom connects to the lanai so there's no need to track water into the house during pool days! The neighborhood's original developer is still a current resident, reflecting the pride and care invested in this meticulously maintained community. Best of all, this home's proximity to both downtown Bradenton and the world-famous beaches on Anna Maria Island makes for the perfect blend of privacy, style, and coastal convenience. This home is truly something special. It's equipped to be the ultimate gathering place and tranquil respite all in one. It's a rare find that you don't want to miss!
