This Florida Cracker-style home captures the lure of living in a tropical climate and is situated along historic Riverview Boulevard in an area called "River Breeze." It steps right out of the pages of 19th century Florida, but was built in 1986 by its original owner and architect. This Olde Florida-style is a one-story home built on a 44 concrete pier foundation with a steep hipped metal roof leading to wide overhangs and approximately 880 square feet of porches to provide protection from the sun or rain. This home has 13 French doors to allow the fresh air to move freely throughout the house, along with high rough sawn cedar trimmed ceilings and exposed wood beams. Located in the midst of an old lychee grove, this large corner lot is lush with tropical landscaping and is loaded with character behind the white picket fence. Large master bath with granite counters and travertine floors, kitchen with desk and center island, pine wood floors, transom and Anderson thermal pane windows are just a few of the special features. One of the few homes in North West Bradenton with natural gas, the wood burning fireplace has a natural gas lighter and the two air conditioning units, hot water heaters, dryer and range are all natural gas. There is a deep well for the irrigation system, a utility shed and a shell drive at the rear of the property to park boat or rv. There is public access to Manatee River at the end of 34th Street.
