Every once in a while, a very special property comes along. In Historic Braden Castle Park (a 55+ Community), where rows of unique, vintage cottages (circa 1925) reflect the charm of days gone by with the conveniences of today's modern lifestyle, you will find such a home! Nestled on the point of land where the Braden River flows into the Manatee River, there is no other community like it in the area. This wonderfully well-maintained property is indeed a rare find with the space to provide the amenities desired by today's active 55+ homeowners (i.e. office, inside laundry, garage, storage) all in a style of its own. The interior of this charming 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom home creates a modern coastal feel without jeopardizing the character and essence of its original build. An eclectic design formed over the years meets the needs of its owners providing two bedrooms and bath upstairs for guests, while a separate bedroom (or office) and bath join the flow on the first floor. The quaint and cozy atmosphere is complimented by the beautifully executed vintage fireplace, crown molding, and the home's original and well-maintained yellow pine hardwood floors. A view of the lagoon from the front steps and from the second story windows adds to a real sense of Old Florida. With your own attached garage including a workbench, cabinets and lots of shelving, storage is no problem. A canopied, brick walkway along the side of the home only adds to its Southern Charm. With the availability to access community on-site dry docks, slip rental and a private launch, year-round boating and fishing complete this coastal experience. The neighborhood is vibrant and active, with a full calendar of events. Play shuffleboard, check out the community hall or fish directly from the 700-foot-long pier. Enjoy easy access to Tampa Bay waters, I-75, the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Gulf beaches, Lakewood Ranch and so much more. Comfortable, warm and inviting in an historic, waterfront community, discover the endless possibilities of this very unique Florida home.
