There's a quiet charm to this West Bradenton home-soft natural light, breezy gathering spaces, and the unmistakable feel of Old Florida. Step back in time when you enter this fully updated classic 1938 bungalow reminiscent of a bygone era when the world's adventurers would travel to Florida for sun, fun, relaxation and restoration of the soul. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's warm, welcoming character. You enter the knotty pine foyer and look upon the elegantly understated living room with fireplace. In the bungalow's northern section are the two large private bedrooms: the principal bedroom en-suite with private bath, and the second bedroom next to the hallway's full bath. The southern section of the home contains a large dining room overlooking the garden and adjoining the spacious kitchen, with a door to the large deck, pergola, and spacious very private back garden. The dining room also leads you to the fully screened lanai Tiki-bar area. Step outside to lush tropical surroundings that invite slow mornings, evening conversations, and the simple joy of coastal living. Situated North of Manatee Avenue in the desirable Onwego Park neighborhood, you're a short walk to local shopping, restaurants, and Bradenton Country Club, and just minutes to Palma Sola Bay and the sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island to the west, and downtown Bradenton restaurants and shops to the east. This home offers the feeling of being exactly where you're meant to be.
