One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Price Improvement on this well maintained home in W Bradenton. Hardwood floors, cedar-lined closets, and solid wood cabinetry, details that were built to last and rarely show up in a 1957 home still wearing its original character this well. The mechanical side has been addressed: (roof replaced in 2021, HVAC replaced in 2019) Set on a 0.22-acre lot in the Glen Ridge area of NW Bradenton, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home delivers 2,035 heated square feet of well-maintained living space with the kind of storage and layout flexibility that older construction rarely offers. The living room runs large enough to anchor serious gatherings, while the bonus room earns its name - a wall-to-wall built-in bookcase lines one end, and sliding glass doors open directly onto a covered patio, pulling the backyard into the daily flow of the house. An oversized laundry room and dedicated storage room sit just off the kitchen, keeping the utilitarian side of home life tucked away and organized. The kitchen's solid wood cabinetry has the depth and durability that flat-pack construction never replicates. Bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with cedar-lined closets that handle both clothes and the Florida humidity. Outside, the fenced backyard includes a storage shed and a smaller fenced area off the patio sized for container gardening or a dedicated pet area. Anna Maria Island's beaches are a short drive west. The bones here are genuine, and the space is ready to be lived in.
