Lovingly restored to the ultimate in 21st Century convenience, this is a home for those who shun look-alike boxes and caged yards in favor of individuality. Located in the Historic River District, just minutes from world-famous Gulf Coast beaches, this home's unique personality is evident at first glance. Follow the curving brick paver path along the impeccably landscaped yard to the elegant front porch, complete with custom etched glass entryway. Inside, the open floor plan features glowing hardwood floors bathed in natural light and a gourmet kitchen that rivals any to be found in a high-end home built today. From the solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and Viking gas range, to the custom trim and tile-work, the sellers spared no expense in their renovation, and it shows. That feeling of luxury carries through to outdoor living in a meticulously landscaped private yard which speaks to an artist’s soul and provides blissful views from every angle. The wired workshop sits quietly tucked away in a corner and offers the perfect space to create. Enjoy a dip in the heated saltwater pool with beach style entry or relax in the spa before a dinner prepared in your outdoor kitchen - which comes complete with a Viking gas grill, granite countertops, weather-proof cabinets, refrigerator, and sink. After dinner, relax in the covered outdoor lounge and soak in the sights of your private oasis, or enjoy a stroll down the tree-lined sidewalk to take in the views over the Manatee River, just a half block away.
