Beachy Dreams in Bradenton

You'll love this charming two bedroom, two bath home nestled on the banks of a small, serene lake in the heart of west Bradenton! Just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and the beaches of Anna Maria Island, this quiet neighborhood feels like it's miles away from the hub-bub. If you like to pop outside for a bit of exercise, it's the perfect place for exploring on foot or by bike.

Your home away from home features fresh, charming decor, with a comfortable dining and living area, and a ...fully equipped kitchen, all overlooking the screened pool and the lake beyond. The large smart TV is the perfect place for watching a game or streaming your favorite shows. And after a meal, doing the dishes isn't a chore when you can watch the local birds and wildlife as they enjoy the lakeside setting.

The two bedrooms flank the living room. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, large walk-in closet, and another smart TV. The second bedroom, located on the other side of the house, features two twin beds, a smart TV. The second bathroom, with its tub/shower combination, is just a couple of steps away in the hallway.

Of course, you'll want to spend much of your time enjoying the large screened patio and heated pool. Overlooking the lake, it features a dining table and chairs for those times when you feel like taking your meals outside, chaises for soaking up the sun, and comfortable armchairs for relaxing with a book or magazine. You'll also find a gas grill on the patio, ready to cook anything from the best hot dogs in the sun to a delicious ribs for dinner.

Small dog owners will be delighted to discover the fully fenced-in back yard, a lovely spot for your canine companion to romp while you enjoy a day along the glorious beaches of Anna Maria Island, less than five miles away. You'll love exploring the miles of sugar-white sand and sparkling waters, where recreational opportunities abound. Hop on the island's free trolley to explore it top to bottom, from the village of Anna Maria at the north, through the shops and restaurants of Holmes Beach in the middle of the island, and south to Bradenton Beach, where the smallest slip of land separates the Bay from the Gulf.

A short dive to Manatee County's GT Bray Park, where you can find things like disc golf, orienteering, and other cool outdoor activities. For more information, check out the Manatee County website.

Just 20 minutes from the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport, and only 10 minutes, from the world-famous IMG Academy, this beautiful home sleeps 4 in one king and two twins.
