Elegant riverfront home with stunning views! This exquisite 4-bedroom, 4-1/2-bath custom-built residence, designed by Mark Sultana, offers an unmatched combination of luxury and comfort. Situated along the Manatee River, this property once served as the original landing for the Fogartyville/Palmetto Ferry and provides breathtaking water views from nearly every window. The grand entrance features a stunning custom circular staircase that sets the tone for the entire home, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The expansive living areas are highlighted by a full-height travertine fireplace, creating a striking focal point and an inviting atmosphere. Throughout the home, pecky cypress ceilings add unique character and warmth, while Brazilian cherry hardwood floors provide timeless elegance. Custom lighting enhances the elegant ambiance, further elevating the home’s refined interior. The thoughtfully designed layout boasts spacious bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, and high-end finishes, ensuring both beauty and functionality in every corner. The spacious primary suite is a serene retreat with French doors leading to a private balcony with stunning river views, an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins to maximize storage and organization and a luxurious ensuite bathroom clad in polished travertine tiles and thoughtful high-end finishes. Guests will enjoy their own personal space in the garage apartment complete with private entrance, a fully appointed kitchen and a tiled bathroom. All windows and doors were replaced in 2023 with PGT hurricane-impact rated panels, ensuring protection during stormy weather without sacrificing style or natural light. The property also boasts two convenient laundry rooms and solar panels for enhanced energy efficiency while lowering monthly utility bills. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds the property, providing privacy and tranquility. A circular driveway welcomes guests and the front and rear porches are adorned with the timeless charm of Chicago bricks – all adding to the home's stately presence. Whether enjoying the serene river views (you have direct access to the Gulf with no bridges) or entertaining in style, this stunning residence is a true sanctuary for those seeking an extraordinary lifestyle. Enjoy a day at the world-renowned, sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island and all the local island amenities, or take in the many restaurants, shops, museums and culture of nearby Downtown Bradenton – if that isn’t enough Sarasota and Tampa/St Pete are a quick trip away!
