Nestled in desirable West Palmetto, this property reflects the best of classic Florida lifestyle-peaceful, picturesque, and reassuringly resilient. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a private in-law suite embodies the spirit of Old Florida living in the Palmetto River District. Built in 2004 (Custom designed, one owner!) with a durable metal roof, it rests on a quiet street just steps from the Manatee River. The expansive 51x9 front porch-perfect for rocking chairs-overlooks the Manatee River and an open, fenced-in pool, the perfect spot for an afternoon dip. Inside, a spacious open floor plan welcomes you with an inviting blend of comfort and function. The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and great room, creating an ideal space for entertaining or gathering with holidays and get togethers. The one bedroom, in-law suite-with its own private entrance-offers exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Nearly every room captures peek-a-boo views of the Manatee River, filling the home with coastal light and breezes. Minutes to Bradenton and to I-75 for easy commuting to Sarasota, St. Pete and Tampa. NO DEED RESTRICTIONS, NO CDD FEES!
