Great location close to the water but not in a flood zone! Great home with 3BR/2Ba split design in the Woods of Palma Sola in NW Bradenton, near Anna Maria Island on the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida. The private foyer leads to a greatroom layout with vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace. The guest wing offers privacy, storage including walk-in closets with convenient organizers built in, and a shared bathroom. The owners' side of the house has a bedroom with access to the hot tub, a big planned walk-in closet and en suite bath. An inviting fenced back yard offers space for your family to play and a safe place for pets. Mature landscaping allows both sunny and shady spots, and there's a side concrete patio for grilling or as a base for a shed. The wide covered and screened lanai includes a wonderfully inviting in-ground heated spa! Ahhhh. You have several options for spaces to relax or entertain, with the ability to remove the boundary between indoor and outdoor living with multiple pocketing sliding glass doors. The kitchen has granite counters, wood cabinets, & updated appliances. There's a separate laundry room. No carpeting, so it's easy to care for. The oversized 2-car garage has a convenient work bench and a room that was a darkroom, which includes a sink (and could be a safe room or art room or more storage space.) This is close to so many places you'll love to visit! The beach is less than a 15-minute drive. Enjoy Palma Sola Botanical Park, The NEST, DeSoto National Memorial Park, Robinson Preserve for hiking & kayaking, or ride ponies at the Causeway Park a mile away! The HOA has an annual garage sale and neighborhood party. HOA maintains storm water retention pond. There's a walking path along the edge of the neighborhood that goes down near the post office. Shop or Explore all day long, and then come home to be nestled in a wonderful quiet neighborhood in your own private get-away. Welcome Home!
