Only rarely will you find a home in NW Bradenton like this gem! Sitting high and dry with all hurricane impact windows and doors, you’ll be able to relax and rest easy here. No expense was spared in its total customization in 2013, and it has been lovingly maintained and continuously upgraded ever since. As soon as you step into the lushly landscaped front yard, the street and the neighbors disappear, and you feel enveloped in a verdant oasis of privacy and quiet. Survey it all from your shaded front patio before passing through the glass front doors into the spacious foyer, and beyond to the dining area. French doors line the walls of the main living space with natural light, and at the center of it all you’ll find a gourmet kitchen with twin islands and sleek custom cabinetry wrapping around appliances from SubZero, Wolf, and Fisher-Pykel. All of this looks out onto the inviting solar-heated pool with plenty of shaded lounging area and a refreshment center. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and laundry area with storage behind touch-open cabinet doors. Everywhere you look you will find the subtle details of a very particular and painstaking renovation process, including a smart triple split bedroom/bath floorplan and custom plantation shutters on every window. Unique features include a huge artist studio/4th bedroom (11 x 26) with built-in cabinetry that could put to any number of uses by the imaginative buyer, including being easily converted back into two separate rooms (which would bring the total to 5 bedrooms). Need an in-law suite? The studio has plenty of room and a separate, private side entrance off its own lounging deck, plus plumbing in place to easily add a small kitchenette. That whole wing with pocket door is served by its own luxurious pool bath. Each of the three bathrooms is a masterpiece of tile, granite and cabinetry, and the owners’ walk-in closet is full of custom shelving and hanging storage. Out in the garage you’ll find another unique feature: one parking space is a discreet air-conditioned extra room (9 x 19) that can be used for storage, a home office, or hobby room. It even has its own kitchenette area! If you’d prefer to have the second garage space, it’s a simple project to return it to its original configuration. Belair Bayou HOA is an enclave of 59 homes with low fees and minimal deed restrictions that does NOT allow short-term rentals, so the neighborhood maintains its quiet residential character. Whatever you're in the mood for, you are in a great central location: In just minutes, you can take in the gorgeous Gulf beaches and the resort villages of Anna Maria Island. Just around the corner is the Warner's Bayou boat ramp facility with easy access to the Manatee River and the Gulf beyond. Plus, you're just a few miles from Robinson Preserve, a choice destination for hiking/biking/kayaking and near the Palma Sola Botanical Park and DeSoto National Park. There is so much to love about this versatile home, so come see it – and make it yours.
