Under the shade of banyans, oaks and pines you will find the restful waters of Palma Sola Bay, where you can stay on your private dock and fish the tarpon that frequent that spot or gather with family and friends to soak in the nightly fireworks of the bay sunsets. You will appreciate the restorative healing when you allow nature to nurture and feed your soul while you spend time simply decompressing. This Florida classic 1970s single-story on-grade ranch design embraces the Florida lifestyle. All of the water-facing rooms offer disappearing glass sliders beckoning you to the large patio and pool that has hosted many large parties and is looking for its new host. This home would be your perfect boating getaway vacation home and well worth the restoration efforts, however the location and homesite amenities also support building a brand-new mansion. The property features 106 feet of frontage with private dock on Palma Sola Bay which leads directly to the Gulf of Mexico for your pleasure cruise and sport fishing pursuits. You are a short bike to the sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island and Robinson Preserve, a 682-acre mangrove, tidal marsh and coastal wetland habitat which offers walking trails, kayak launches and picnic areas. In addition, West Bradenton offers proximity to the downtown cultural center, the Riverwalk Park, as well as the theater, museum, fine and casual dining, farmers market, street festivals, pubs, art center and more. You are convenient to both Sarasota and Tampa airports. Close to downtown St. Pete and Tampa, home of the Tampa Bay Rays Major League Baseball and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for NFL football. Several world-renowned theme parks are close enough for a day trips. All the best of the "Florida lifestyle" has to offer.
