7708 4th Ave. #18, Bradenton, FL 34209

Tucked away in a quiet corner of a convenient condominium community just north of Manatee Avenue and just west of 75th St. is an updated, two-bedroom, two-bath residence ready for immediate occupancy. A soaring, vaulted ceiling opens up the living and dining great room with clerestory lights, the kitchen has a nice eat-in space, laundry room, planter window and updated lighting, the lanai has a neighbor-free aspect to the east of a private wooded area, and the master bedroom suite is spacious and comfortable, including two walk-in closets. Bedroom two has a cedar-lined closet. It was set up as an office, and could remain so, but with a jack-and-jill entry to the second bathroom, could make a visitor or children very comfortable. Furnishings may be available with the right offer. Pine Bay Forest features contemporary (for the 1980s) design, with liberal use of cedar. Literally carved out of a forest, it has half of its units set between the traffic noise of Manatee Ave. and Fourth Ave. This condo is on the quiet, north side of the development. A covered parking spot comes with the condo. A heated pool and tennis courts are also part of the project, as is a deeded, sunset-viewing spot on the shore of Palma Sola Bay at the west end of Fourth Ave.
