This cozy 2 bedroom, 2 bath bungalow is located in historical Braden Castle Park - a 55+ waterfront community with HOA fees of only $33 per month located on the Manatee River where it meets the Braden River. The community was once the home to one of the original settlers of the area Dr. Joseph Braden who built his home, the ruins of which are still preserved, in what was to become Braden Castle Park. This updated and charming 1924 vintage bungalow is move-in ready and features an inside washer and dryer, workshop and open concept living. The kitchen lends plenty of space and offers a pantry along with butcher block counter tops and breakfast bar. In addition, you will find updated ceilings, flooring, upgraded electrical system, a newer roof (2018), and a new (2022) split A/C system that easily keeps the home cool and comfortable. Braden Castle Park has 197 homes. Each is unique, and many of these bungalows have been restored to their original charm. Here you will find welcoming, friendly neighbors riding their golf carts, taking leisurely walks or pedaling around on their bikes stopping to say hello. Sip your morning coffee or indulge in an afternoon beverage from your front patio area while enjoying the peaceful view of the Manatee River. If you are into fishing, there is a 700’ fishing pier, complete with cleaning station, or to take a stroll on to watch some of Florida’s finest sunsets. Braden Castle holds numerous community events at the recreation center, has private boat ramp with docks, and offers you the ability to dock your boat (wet/dry storage) or store your RV for fees of only $300 per year! Conveniently located to nearby golf courses, shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities. Anna Maria Island and some of Florida’s finest beaches are only a short drive away.
