Just a short stroll from the Manatee River and vibrant downtown Bradenton, this beautifully updated home offers rare freedom with no HOA, no deed restrictions, and Urban Village zoning, allowing for both residential living and professional office use—ideal for attorneys, CPAs, or entrepreneurs looking for a seamless live/work environment.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the lush xeriscape landscaping, a stately oak tree, and fragrant jasmine that frame the white picket fence and gated front entry. Step inside to find expansive living spaces filled with warmth and sophistication, enhanced by wood floors, crown molding, and thoughtful architectural details throughout.
