216 18th Street East

Fresh, bright, and taken to the studs in 2020, this is like-new construction wrapped in the character of an established Bradenton neighborhood, with no HOA and no cookie-cutter rules. Set on a private, park-like .3-acre lot (57 x 208) beneath mature, moss-draped oaks, the home lives far larger than its 1,845 square feet.

Inside, an open-concept great room flows into a showpiece kitchen: shaker cabinets, quartz counters, subway-tile backsplash, stainless appliances, floating wood shelves, and a big center island with seating. Wood-look tile plank flooring runs throughout, can lights and ceiling fans crown the bedrooms, and both baths are fully renovated, including a primary with a dual vanity and glass walk-in shower. A dedicated interior laundry and drop-zone mudroom keep everyday life easy.

The peace of mind is already handled: new roof, HVAC, water heater, and impact windows/doors, all in 2020. Public water and sewer. No garage, but a long concrete driveway offers ample parking.

Step out back to your own retreat with an expansive paver patio and wood deck, built-in brick grill, fire pit, and a storage shed (conveys), with plenty of room for a pool. Walkable to the Manatee River for sunrise and sunset strolls, minutes to downtown Bradenton, easy on/off US-301 and I-75, and a short drive to the sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. Zoned for Manatee High School.
