Virtually Staged. Welcome to this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home on a quiet West Bradenton street, minutes from downtown and with no HOA! A garage is a rare find in this neighborhood, and this one adds tool space and laundry to a home that already offers more room than its bedroom count suggests, with a separate den/family room that works well as a home office. The kitchen features wood cabinets, stone counters and stainless steel appliances, and a door between the kitchen and the den lets you close off the space or keep pets contained while they still have access to the doggy door. The bathroom has an updated shower and vanity, both bedrooms have hardwood floors, and the shingle roof is about five years old. The home is offered as-is and is ready to move into, with plenty of room to add your own paint and finishes over time. Out back, an oversized deck with two ceiling fans, cafe lights and Bluetooth speakers is set up for grilling and gathering, and the large fenced yard has space for a pool along with room for a boat or RV. A shed keeps lawn equipment out of the way, and mature landscaping frames the lot. The location puts Manatee Avenue and Cortez Road close at hand for direct routes to Anna Maria Island and the beaches, while Tamiami Trail connects quickly to Sarasota, St. Pete and Tampa. A solid choice for a first home, a downsizer or an investor, and worth seeing in person!
