Come home to golden hour, every single day. This 3-bedroom home in Bradenton -- close to everything -- saves its best surprise for last: a private, alley-accessed backyard big enough to actually live in. Deck, retractable awning for shade, a shed for storage, and a west-facing rear exposure that turns ordinary evenings into a nightly sunset show.Pull into the driveway and garage directly from 26th St W, with convenient additional access to the rear alley from either 7th Ave W or 8th Ave West -- plenty of room back there for a boat or RV.Inside, this classic 1955 home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated -- plus garage door in 2025, wood decking added in 2018, roof replaced in 2010. Masonry construction with a one-car attached garage. Two big wins here: no HOA and no flood insurance required (Flood Zone X).The location works as hard as the backyard does -- minutes from LECOM Park (spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, regular season home of the Bradenton Marauders), the galleries and studios of the Village of the Arts, the Manatee River Riverwalk, and Ware's Creek. Foodies will love the local dining scene, from waterfront favorites like Pier 22 to charming French bakeries and classic breakfast houses. Anna Maria Island's beaches, historic City Pier, and Pine Avenue shops are a short drive west, with IMG Academy and its year-round training programs also nearby. Manatee Memorial Hospital and the State College of Florida -- Bradenton campus are both close by as well.
