A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY ON PRESTIGIOUS RIVERVIEW BOULEVARD! Hidden within a breathtaking canopy of towering royal palms and lush tropical gardens, this extraordinary HALF ACRE ESTATE is unlike anything else in Northwest Bradenton. A captivating fusion of a historic 1910 cottage and an impressive modern addition, the property offers the charm and soul of Old Florida alongside the space, comfort and flexibility of a sprawling private retreat. With nearly 4,000 square feet under air, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a climate controlled 4 car garage and a separate historic garden cottage, this remarkable residence is perfectly suited for multigenerational living, or a short term rental, or simply as a home to entertain and create lasting memories. The experience begins along a long brick paver driveway lined with magnificent royal palms, where the home emerges from a spectacular landscape of mature trees and exotic plantings. Enter the original cottage and discover beautiful hardwood floors, an inviting living room with wood burning fireplace, a charming kitchen and two bedrooms with a shared bath. Rich in character and warmth, this original residence flows into the expansive modern wing, offering a truly distinctive combination of intimate gathering spaces and grander accommodations. Travertine flooring, generous ceiling heights, plantation shutters and abundant natural light complement the spacious family room and additional living areas, creating countless possibilities for entertaining, working or simply spreading out in comfort. Upstairs, the addition features a large bonus room plus three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a generous primary retreat with its own sitting area, walk in closet and a beautifully appointed bathroom with dual vanities, jetted soaking tub and separate walk in shower. Step onto the private screened porch off the primary suite and enjoy peaceful views of the tropical surroundings. Two staircases add convenience and character to this exceptional floor plan. The OUTDOOR SETTING IS NOTHING SHORT OF MAGICAL! An expansive screened porch with multiple lounging and dining areas opens to a secluded pool and raised spa surrounded by dense, mature tropical foliage. Discover outdoor showers, towering palms, flowering gardens and open green space, all creating the sensation of a private resort. A spring fed stream meanders along the eastern property boundary, adding to the natural beauty and abundant birdlife. Nestled among the gardens is “Lemon Alley,” a separate historic one room cottage with a loft, once a fruit stand near an early Manatee River boat stop, now a charming bonus space with endless possibilities. Additional features include a standing seam metal roof, private outdoor bathtub, extensive paver parking and a setting spanning three lots. Just moments from the Manatee River in the coveted Riverview Boulevard corridor, this remarkable estate is convenient to IMG ACADEMY, ST STEPHENS, downtown Bradenton, Robinson Preserve, restaurants, shopping and the world famous beaches of Anna Maria Island. An adjoining buildable parcel is also offered separately for those wanting even more space and privacy. SOME HOMES ARE BUILT TO IMPRESS. OTHERS HAVE A STORY TO TELL.
