Description

WATER FRONT LIVING W/ DIRECT ACCESS TO THE MANATEE RIVER AND BEYOND! 13,000 LB BOAT LIFT! NO PRIOR STORM DAMAGE! Located on a quiet street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true Florida waterfront living with direct boating access and a private boating dock. This canal-front lot is positioned perfectly with almost a quarter acre of land. The outdoor space is where this home truly shines. An extensive 69 foot Trex waterfront deck creates the perfect gathering spot, while the 13,000-pound boat lift makes it easy to keep your boat ready for your next adventure, and the 45 foot floating dock keeps the other water toys safe. The custom tiki hut with a thatched roof makes the perfect spot for gatherings. Cruise the Braden River, explore the Manatee River, enjoy waterfront dining, or head out toward the Gulf of Mexico without the restrictions of a typical inland property. Inside, the home offers a comfortable and functional layout with nearly 1,900+ square feet of living space. Thoughtful updates include a newer roof (2023), newer windows and doors with clear polycarbonate storm protection, updated kitchen and bathroom finishes, custom oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and wood-look tile throughout the main living areas. The combination of updates and classic Florida charm creates a home that is move-in ready. Beyond the home itself is where this property comes to life. Watch for native wildlife including birds, manatees, fish, and other river visitors that make every day feel like a retreat. You can fish right from your backyard and catch some of Florida's most prized species. With no HOA fees, a private waterfront lifestyle, and convenient access to I-75, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, this property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful riverfront living without feeling removed from everything. Just 3 miles to the mouth of the Manatee River. Surrounded by everything but feels as if you're a world away. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence, a winter escape, or a place where boating and outdoor living become part of your daily routine, this Braden River waterfront home delivers a lifestyle that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Come see for yourself today!
