About This Home

This Braden Castle Park 1925 cottage is the only home currently available that is NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE and had no water damage from last year’s storms. So, it is all ready for you to add your own personal touches and call it home, or your seasonal get-a-way. Nestled along the picturesque Manatee River, where it meets the Braden River, this one bedroom, 2 full bath, plus bonus room (small, but has a closet, window and the second full bathroom) offers a rare opportunity in a very special 55+ waterfront community. The one car garage has been used as a pottery/craft studio for several years; has electricity, water and an AC split unit. Untouched by the recent storms and not located in a flood zone, this cottage is situated in a neighborhood rich with history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the community is home to charming, unique bungalows that showcase its distinctive character. Residents enjoy a dynamic waterfront lifestyle with direct Gulf access, a private boat ramp, a fishing pier dedicated to the neighborhood’s many Veterans;, boat slips, and an array of recreational amenities. The vibrant community center hosts various events and activities, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Enjoy coffee on the front patio while enjoying views of the river, fishing and boating a few doors down. In the evening, sit along the riverfront and enjoy your favorite book or social time with your neighbors. Braden Castle Park takes a step back in history and is truly an exceptional place to call home. Yet, you are close to shopping, beaches, a wide variety of restaurants, historic downtown Bradenton and RiverWalk. Truly the best of both worlds.
