One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Designed by Sarasota’s award winning architect Carl Abbott, this one owner property is looking for its new owner. This unique home offers tall, vaulted ceilings in the main living area and the location could not be more perfect with beautiful views of the Manatee River, sweeping across the bank of sliding glass doors leading to the second floor deck. The kitchen was updated a few years back with modern light cabinets and sleek dark countertops. The upper loft space has access to the outside 3rd level deck which could be a stunning entertaining space or relaxing getaway. A bonus ground level room with A/C could make for a wonderful art studio, office, playroom or mancave, depending on your needs. An additional storage room can be found on the ground level as well. Impact windows are throughout the home as well as hurricane shutters for the sliding doors. There is also a solar hot water system with a newer holding tank. You’ll enjoy the convenience of being close by shopping, restaurants, Saint Stephen's Episcopal School (college preparatory), IMG Academy, and medical facilities. It's an easy drive to stunning Anna Maria Island beaches, Desoto Memorial Park, and Robinson Preserve, with miles of bike and walking paths and kayaking. Also, you are just a short distance to downtown Bradenton, boasting all sorts of indoor and outdoor fun, including a history museum, aquarium, and planetarium; a performing arts center; an enchanting park that rambles alongside Manatee River; and a bustling marina. Bring your creative ideas to refresh this one-of-a-kind home to make it your own and have a statement piece along charming Riverview Blvd.
