Welcome to historic Braden Castle Park and one of the Communitys most charming cottages!!! Built in 1925 and originally known as Lure Lodge this delightful home boasts one of the very best locations in the park right on the central plaza, with gorgeous water views and just steps from the Manatee River and the private 700-foot fishing pier perfect for enjoying gorgeous sunrises and legendary sunsets. This spacious and livable 2BD/2BH floorplan has a wonderful open feeling with higher ceilings, lots of natural light and all the character of old Florida including a vintage fireplace and wood flooring. The comfy living room is the heart of the home flowing into a darling dining alcove and updated kitchen. As you enter the cottage an enclosed sunroom showcases beautiful folding French doors and great views of the river. The charming brick paver front patio is the perfect gathering spot for guests and to greet neighbors on their leisurely strolls and bike or golf cart rides around the neighborhood. Nestled alongside the Manatee River where the Braden River flows in, this waterfront 55+ community offers amazing amenities including a full Marina with two boat docks, a private boat ramp, Clubhouse and rec center, a library, shuffleboard and a complete list of fun parties and events all for the low fee of just $300 per year!!! It is the National historic site of Braden Castle, after which Bradenton was named, and the ruins are a beloved part of the on-going story. With quiet lanes of unique vintage cottages and bungalows, this hidden gem has no comparison on Floridas west coast and its magical setting is perfect for both year- round living or as a fabulous winter Florida escape. Dont miss the opportunity to become part of this unique treasure as cottages rarely become available and are happily passed down by generations. While seemingly worlds apart from the hustle and bustle, Braden Castle is just a short drive to major highways, International Airports, Shopping, Dining and all Bradenton and Sarasota have to offer.
