In the desirable River District north of Manatee Avenue, this mid-century single family home blends the character of some of the home's original features with the convenience of modern updates. Original hardwood flooring in living area, formal dining room and bedrooms, arched doorways and wood burning fireplace add warmth and character to this home. The KITCHEN has been updated with wood cabinetry and stainless appliances. The Florida room/bonus room opens to the huge deck and over-sized pool. The fenced yard is very spacious and private. Convenient to the POOL is the bonus room/utility room with a full bath. This space could possibly be converted to a third bedroom, office, or casita. The driveway, updated with pavers, and mature landscaping lend to a nice curb appeal. No HOA or CDD in this well established community in the Bradenton City limits. Location is fabulous for those that want to live near the water, near a charming small downtown or minutes from popular Anna Maria Island. Enjoy restaurants, the Manatee Performing Arts Center, Saturday morning farmer's markets, festivals & events on Old Main Street or the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk hosts concerts, holiday fireworks, boat races & other events. Nearby are many preserves and parks, and several public boat ramps. Lots of activity available. Lovely home is priced to sell. Call for private showing.
