Spectacularly renovated and upgraded home in West Bradenton. This home is built like Fort Knox and weathered hurricane Ian like a champ. Some of the features and upgrades include hurricane impact windows, metal roof with foam insulation (2017), 2 AC units with 2 thermostats, updated electrical panel with a generator switch/outlet, wireless surround sound system throughout the living areas and an updated water heater (2017). The detached 2 car garage is equipped with electricity and plenty of room for cars and storage. Instead of an attic there is a lighted crawl space under the entire house with a dehumidifier and exposed access to all internet and cable wiring as well as the updated plumbing. A lovely Florida room greets you as you enter the home and matching ceramic tile is laid throughout the main house. The open kitchen/dining/living area with vaulted ceilings and exposed air ducts make for a very cool industrial/modern farmhouse feel. There is a breakfast bar with waterfall quartz that seats 6 comfortably in the eat in kitchen as well as built in benches lining the front/dining area. The original 8-foot ceilings were raised to the roof for a cathedral effect and makes this home a perfect entertaining space. The living room comes complete with built in bookshelves in the back corner as well as a working wood fireplace. There are 3 bedrooms with large closets and 2 newly remodeled full bathrooms off of the living room. The kitchen has a brand new 2022 refrigerator and 2022 dishwasher as well as a large walk-in pantry with deep wooden shelves and electrical outlets that house not only your food but hide the microwave from view.  There is a mud room with a large built in dog door that leads to the backyard between the main house and the master bedroom suite and off of the mud room is an extra-large laundry/utility room. The master suite boasts a generous bathroom with a soaking tub, double sink vanity, large walk-in shower and a HUGE oversized closet with sturdy custom-built shelving. This "little" blue house looks fairly small from the outside but definitely has the wow factor when you walk in. There will never be another home like this one. What are you waiting for?
