BRADENTON Real Estate Listing MLS # M5807193

Immerse yourself in the coveted waters of Tampa Bay. This coastal retreat is privately located on an acre and a half of pristine land gently hugging 180 feet of desirable bay front. An angler's dream come true with 250 feet of dock leading to a custom designed boathouse, constructed to mimic a Florida cracker style home concealing the functional boat lift. Upon arriving at the estate one begins to relax as they come across a quaint paver bridge and pass the historic preserved Indian Mound. Lush tropical landscaping shades the residence and highlights the whimsical Coastal Cottage inspired architecture with gingerbread detailing, wrapping balconies and sweeping porches. Paver pathways lead to the rear garage and separate guest cottage, while a dual staircase gives way to the main floor. Once inside one is overcome by the intricate attention to detail and spectacular craftsmanship, constructed with state-of-the-art security system, advanced lighting, and convenient elevator. A dramatic curved stairwell showcases the brilliant use of moldings as antique chandeliers illuminate the impressive faux finish, decorative window coverings, and custom cabinetry. Hardwood floors flow throughout contrasting the complex tile patterns in the wet areas. Each suite provides utmost privacy with well-appointed en-suite baths. Balconies on three floors extend the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views, as each space opens to endless vistas of Tampa Bay, Egmont Key, Anna Maria, the Skyway Bridge and the Gulf of Mexico.
