A rare opportunity awaits to live your dream in one of the most desirable BOATING COMMUNITIES in Bradenton with NO HOA FEES! This beautiful, custom-built home is situated on the WIDEST canal in Riverdale near The Inlets with quick and easy access to the Manatee River. Even better, there is NO LIFT to pass through! Just off the back deck is a private, covered boat dock with lift. Access to the Manatee River is a short boat ride down the canal for cruising the waterways to DeSoto Park, Terra Ceia, Palma Sola, Tampa Bay, Anna Maria Island and the Gulf of Mexico! After a day of boating, relax and enjoy the heated, saltwater pool and spa while watching other boaters pass by. Wouldn't the summer kitchen and outdoor dining area be perfect for preparing and enjoying the fresh catch of the day? The wooded area across the canal offers increased privacy from direct view of the homes on this street. For additional privacy, the caged pool area is landscaped on both sides. The paver driveway and meticulous landscaping set the stage for an impressive double door entryway leading to a spacious gourmet kitchen with abundant cabinetry and granite counter space. As a bonus, there is a large butler's pantry between the kitchen and living room and bar seating from the kitchen opening into the family room which also has a fireplace for cooler days. The split floor plan features a spacious primary suite with sliding doors that open to the pool area. There are two walk-in closets with custom shelving leading to an ensuite bath with separate vanities, a whirlpool tub, separate shower, and a private water closet. On the other side of the home are a den/office, 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. The full bath in the rear bedroom also serves the outdoor shower and pool area. Hurricane impact windows were installed in 2020, and the roof was replaced in 2016. This fabulous home offers all the amenities for entertaining, BOTH indoors and outdoors! Don't wait to make an appointment to see this home centrally located between downtown Bradenton and I-75, just a few miles to downtown's Historic Riverwalk, shopping, restaurants, and the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island!
