If you've been searching for a Florida home with a little personality, a little privacy, and enough outdoor space to actually enjoy the Florida lifestyle, this cheerful bungalow may be exactly what you've been hoping to find. Set on a fully fenced quarter-acre lot with NO HOA, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers something that's becoming harder and harder to find-your own piece of Florida with room to breathe, garden, entertain, park your boat or RV, and simply live life your way. Step into the backyard and you'll quickly understand what makes this home special. Imagine evenings gathered around the custom fire pit in Adirondack chairs, mornings tending the raised garden beds, rinsing off in the outdoor shower after a beach day, or relaxing under the covered outdoor areas while birds move through the mature landscaping. Crepe myrtles, pollinator-friendly plants, finches, mockingbirds, bluebirds and even visiting parrots make this yard feel like its own little Florida retreat. There's even a chicken coop-and for the buyer who falls in love with the backyard homestead lifestyle, the laying hens may be available to stay! Inside, approximately 992 square feet have been thoughtfully used to create a comfortable, easy-to-maintain home with the colorful, relaxed character of a classic Florida bungalow. It doesn't feel like every other house on the block, and that's exactly the point. It's cheerful, inviting and ready for its next owner to make it their own. The home has also benefited from several practical improvements, including a newer water heater, Nest thermostat, new garbage disposal, approximately 8-year-old A/C system, and improved 24-inch ductwork-important updates that add comfort and convenience to everyday living. A one-car garage and substantial detached shed provide valuable storage and workspace, while the oversized fenced yard gives you flexibility that's difficult to find in condos and newer communities. And when you're ready to venture out, you're conveniently located near Bradenton and Sarasota with shopping, restaurants and some of Florida's most beautiful Gulf beaches within easy reach-including Anna Maria Island. Looking for an easy Florida getaway? This one gets even better. With an acceptable price offer, the seller is willing to leave most of the furnishings, giving the next owner the opportunity to move in and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle almost immediately. A few personal items are excluded. This isn't the home for someone searching for cookie-cutter new construction. It's for the buyer who wants character, privacy, a real yard, no HOA, room for the toys, space for a garden, and a home that feels unmistakably Florida.
