4205 Riverview Blvd., Bradenton, FL 34209

This stately home is just across the street from properties fronting the Manatee River. From its circular drive and welcoming entry, through the very open plan to the caged pool and large back yard beyond, it’s a perfect place for family and friends to gather. Rooms are large, and the public areas, including living room, dining room and study, all have soaring 12-foot ceilings. The master bedroom features a tray ceiling, his-and-hers closets, dual vanities, shower and soaking tub with a bay window. The peninsula kitchen overlooks the living room, a handy breakfast nook, and the family room. Tempered sliders from the family room and living room open up to the beautiful caged pool and the vista beyond. Two bedrooms on the left side of the home share a bathroom with tub. And there’s a third bath with shower for pool use and to serve as a powder room for gatherings. The indoor utility opens to the over-sized, side-entry garage with outdoor access, and mature vegetation on an enormous lot enhances the view in virtually every direction. The AC is only two years old, there’s a new pool cage screen and new garage door, and the lovely tile roof was recently renovated to its like-new beauty. It backs up to Fogartyville Cemetery, so it's VERY quiet at night. Unfortunately some cosmetic damage was done by the owner, whose wheelchair has chipped and scratched many walls and corners. It also appears to have subterranean termite damage. That makes it a fixer-upper in a great location. Make plans to see it today.
