1801 Marilyn Ave., Bradenton, FL 34207

Nicely updated, turnkey ready single-family home on a quiet street in the heart of Bayshore Gardens. Ample storage inside and out. Large office with separate entry perfect for working from home. Includes workshop accessible from the covered carport, which has been resurfaced with a durable epoxy coating. Large, fully fenced backyard. Mature perimeter shade trees provide both privacy and respite from the beaming Florida sunshine. Inside awaits an open, spacious and functional floor plan. The well-appointed kitchen features luxurious quartz countertops, timeless white shaker cabinets, a full-height Carrara porcelain mosaic backsplash, large and inviting island, and stainless steel appliances. All new interior doors and door hardware, luxury vinyl plank floors, and many more updates. While the house is beautiful, two of the best features of this property are all about the location. First, residents have access to an abundance of social and recreational activities and bayfront amenities via the nearby Bayshore Gardens Park and Recreation Center. Located on Sarasota Bay, the facilities include a marina with private boat ramp, boat slips available for rent at deeply discounted rates, boat and trailer storage, a newly renovated recreation hall, Jr. Olympic size swimming pool, playground, picnic pavilions, grilling stations, ball fields, a bayfront viewing deck, and a fishing pier. Join the Yacht Club, Garden Club, or Woodchoppers club, and get to know your friendly neighbors. As a special taxing district, the Rec Center assessment (just $377/yr.) is INCLUDED in your property tax bill. No additional HOA or CDD fees required. Second, very few homes can claim the best of both worlds in terms of being equidistant from downtown Sarasota (a 12 min. drive to the South) and downtown Bradenton (a 12 min. drive to the north). Dining, shopping and entertainment options abound. 15 min. drive to the world-renowned, white-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. 8 min. drive to Sarasota International Airport. This beautiful, ideally located home provides exceptional value.
