100k price reduction! Waterfront retreat located directly on the Braden River with Tampa Bay boating access! This single family home, located just north of all the convenient dining and shopping options of State Road 70, takes you back in time to the very best in old Florida living. As you drive into the nearly 1.5 acre estate, a newly paved drive greets you as you enter the parcel with a PVC picket fence and mature trees. Here is a rare opportunity to enjoy the existing 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom pool home, or build a brand new luxury estate. With a tucked away feeling, a spacious lot, gorgeous river and mangrove views, this property also has a multi-family zoned use with a 24x24 solid block storage building with an adorably furnished mother-in-law apartment with new luxury vinyl flooring above to use for visitors or produce income, with a great view of the river. The main home is 1810 square feet under air with updated kitchen with granite counters, newly faced cabinetry, pantry with solid wood pullouts, new stainless appliances and a large kitchen island. The primary ensuite bath has also been updated with new vanity and walk in shower. Highlights include split bedroom floor plan, terrazzo flooring, a flagstone gas fireplace for convenient ambiance with the turn of a switch, and a wall of sliders leading to a large screen enclosed pool. A newer Trex deck is directly on the Braden River. The south portion of the land borders a Manatee County easement for even more privacy with no neighbor. While this home is ready for updating, it is being offered BELOW the new April 2025 appraisal! Plenty of RV and boat parking in addition to the two car attached garage. Minutes to I-75, and an easy 30 minute drive to the gorgeous powder sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. So much already in place and so much future potential if desired, a perfect investment with many options!
