906 TROPICAL DRIVE, Bradenton, FL, 34208 | $519,900

NEW PRICE REDUCTION: Wake up to beautiful sunrises over the Braden River without being directly on the water. A well kept 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home, it has NEVER flooded in the 40 years since being built due to its elevated design and higher lot placement. Located on just under a spacious half acre (. 44), no trees, even its majestic oak, overhang the house to ensure further safety. This unique property features NO HOA so no worries about parking your boat or RV, and there is plenty of room to add a pool. It includes a carport designed to accommodate 2 cars, with a screened-in shop attached, as well as covered side and rear patios. An artesian well is conveniently located and can help reduce your outside water expenses. It has an easily accessible crawlspace due to its elevation and was completely replumbed in 2023 to update piping. Underground electrical lines lessen chances of hazards and outages and is more aesthetically pleasing with no unsightly wires traversing from the street. The home showcases double front doors inset with beautifully designed hurricane-resistant glass, a brand new roof installed in September 2024, and an Enphase solar panel system, unseen from the street and only 5 years old, which ensures minimal energy costs. Inside, the 17' x 19' front room, currently an art studio, is perfect for transformation into a family room. This room, as well as two of the bedrooms, have wonderful views of the river. The smaller 4th bedroom, currently a den, is ideally suited for use as a home office and features floor to ceiling bookshelves. Recent updates include all major appliances--including the A/C system and hot water heater. The fully fenced backyard is private and offers security for your kids and pets. Located just 2 minutes from the State Road 64 boat ramp, you can be on the water and enjoying the best of Florida living in no time! Plus the home's location offers proximity to great schools and is just a short drive to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota as well as the beaches on Anna Maria Island and Siesta Key. Whether you are enjoying the peaceful river view, launching your boat for a day on the water, or relaxing on nearby beaches, this home offers comfort, convenience, and the perfect space to live your Florida dream.
