Come home to nature, privacy, and peace-just minutes from the beach. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home feels like a private oasis, surrounded by lush tropical foliage, towering oaks, and tranquil lake views. It's the kind of place where you can truly unplug-yet still be less than 5 miles from the Cortez Bridge, putting Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island within a quick 10-minute drive.

One of the rare advantages of this property is that it sits in a non-HOA neighborhood, offering true freedom-bring your boat, RV, or toys with no restrictions. With no HOA and located in Manatee County, daily rentals are allowed, making this an exceptional opportunity for investors or snowbirds looking to offset costs with short-term rental income in a highly desirable beach-adjacent location.

Inside, the double-door entry opens to soaring cathedral ceilings, engineered wood flooring, and bright, open living spaces with calming views through oversized sliding glass doors. The split-bedroom floor plan offers both privacy and functionality, with a dedicated dining room, family room, and interior utility room. The updated galley-style kitchen features granite countertops, newer cabinetry with large drawers, a pantry, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and an eat-in area with bar seating-perfect for everyday living and entertaining.

The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, high-performance DC ceiling fan, and an updated en-suite bath with granite-topped vanity and an easy-access, no-threshold walk-in shower. The guest bathroom is equally well-appointed with a large tub/shower combo, oversized granite vanity, and a generous linen closet.

The garage is a standout feature-epoxy flooring (2023), extensive cabinetry, counter space, workbenches, running water with a double sink, and a hurricane-impact garage door (2015). There's still plenty of room to park your vehicle, making it a true functional workshop or hobby space.

Additional upgrades and insurance-saving features include Low-E windows (2014), a hurricane-impact Therma-Tru fiberglass front door (2018), hurricane screens, a new water heater (2023), full PEX replumbing (2023), and a new irrigation pump (2025). The lake provides irrigation, keeping the lush landscaping thriving year-round.

Located just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, boating, golf courses, State College of Florida, IMG Academy, and the world-famous white-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. Sarasota, Downtown Bradenton, and St. Petersburg are all within easy driving distance.

This home is ideal as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or income-producing property. *One or more photos have been virtually staged
