About this home
Dreaming of a peaceful waterfront lifestyle just a short drive from the Gulf Coast's most beautiful beaches? Welcome home to this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence nestled in a quaint and historic 55+ community, located only 12 miles from Anna Maria Island. This unique home is one of only five homes in this community with this special private waterway behind their property (198 homes in the community). This inviting home offers a rare combination of privacy and tranquility, featuring a secluded rear retreat with a serene freshwater stream and depending upon the tide level there is a small waterfall to enjoy from your deck. Relax on your private deck, complete with a versatile hot tub that's perfect for soothing soaks during cooler months and refreshing dips during the summer. Just four houses away from the large waterway where the Braden River empties into the Manatee River. A beautiful sight daytime and during sunsets. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room with a great water view from one window. There is a generously sized eat-in kitchen, providing comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Both bedrooms have nice closet space. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a metal roof in 2020, HVAC system in 2024, and luxury vinyl plank flooring--offering peace of mind and modern comfort. Outside, convenience abounds with an extended carport on one side of the home and a dedicated covered golf cart parking on the other, along with a screened porch ideal for enjoying Florida's beautiful weather year-round. The community itself is a hidden gem, featuring a large 700 ft long fishing pier, boat docks to accomodate approximately 40 boats, a boat ramp and a welcoming atmosphere. Even better, the annual HOA fee is only $400 and boat dock rentals are available for just $300 year.
