Absolute doll house is the best way to describe this mid-century gem. Enjoy Sarasota Bay breezes just steps away & welcome yourself to a tastefully updated & lovingly maintained 3-bedroom 2 full bath West Bradenton home that is sure to please. The sellers have a unique knack for embellishing on the characteristics of an era gone by, starting w/the refinished terrazzo floors & ending w/the beamed & vaulted ceilings above & everything in between. The kitchen was tastefully updated in 2023 w/quartz counters accompanied by a pretty tile backsplash, beautiful wood cabinets, large pantry, stainless appliances & those ever-popular pan drawers. An abundance of storage is found in the lazy Susan corner cabinet as well as the large island which is home to a smooth cooktop w/a warmer burner & plenty of room for bar stools. The dining area is light & bright w/a full wall impact window & is home to a charming hanging retro light. The spacious living room has sliders to an awesome screened lanai that leads outdoors to a well-manicured side & back yard. The rear walkways have been updated with stone & concrete patios for year-round enjoyment leading to the beautiful backyard w/its lush green grass, a Meyer lemon fruit tree & tropical Christmas palms. All of this in addition to an above ground stock tank pool w/step up deck, pool pump filter & more retro design of a checkerboard patio. Back inside the lucky new owners of this awesome home will enjoy a spacious primary bedroom w/a mini-split AC unit (for those of you who like to sleep w/a blanket) & impact sliding doors that lead to the backyard oasis. The primary bath has a thoughtfully designed décor w/spa tile floor & shower wall, step in shower, floating vanity, light up mirror & textured glass door that aligns beautifully with the period style motif.
