216 22nd St., Bradenton, FL 34205

You will fall in love with this historic beauty of a home, located just a block from the historic Bradenton riverfront and walking distance from downtown's center. This big home has two master bedrooms with ensuite baths -- one with its own outside door, suggesting possibilities for inlaws, young adults living at home, etcetera. Lots of living space with a formal living room, huge dining room with built-in sideboard, den with wood-burning fireplace, and sunny breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. The large kitchen has a butler's pantry for entertaining ease, and an open, breakfast bar-style that keeps the chef engaged and involved with the rest of the fun. Everywhere you look are the touches and craftsmanship that make older homes so charming -- all the way down to the real hardwood floors. Brand new backyard fence for the pets and family to enjoy, and a big front yard set out under ancient oaks. The roof is less than 3 years old so you're looking at a trouble-free decade or two on that score. This older Bradenton neighborhood is quiet, lovely, and centrally-located -- a reminder of the city's beloved past, AND ... ready to raise the next generation in style and comfort. Start making warm memories your crew will always cherish!
