Set in the East Bradenton River District just steps from the water, this property gives you the relaxed Old Florida lifestyle that is getting harder to find. A massive Royal Poinciana tree, tropical landscaping, swaying palms, and a circular paver driveway create the feeling of a private Key West-style retreat from the moment you pull in. Inside, the classic ranch home has been extensively updated with a fresh coastal feel while still offering flexibility to make it your own over time. Recent improvements include a new roof, new flooring, doors, kitchen, bathroom, appliances, baseboards, and tankless water heater in 2025, plus a new A/C in the main house in 2024 and a new A/C in the guest casita in 2025. The backyard is designed for the Florida lifestyle. A resort-style pool with paver decking, outdoor bar and kitchen area, garden space, and a detached ADU guest casita create endless possibilities for extended family, guests, seasonal rental income, or your own private getaway setup. There is also room for your boat, camper, or extra toys with no deed restrictions holding you back. You are just minutes from the public boat ramp on the Braden River, I-75, downtown Bradenton, spring training games, waterfront restaurants, and Gulf Coast beaches. Whether you want a full-time home, winter escape, or investment with income potential, this one blends location, flexibility, and that authentic coastal Florida feel that so many properties try to recreate but rarely capture.
