Room to breathe, minutes from the Gulf. Set on a park-like three-quarter-acre homesite on a quiet cul-de-sac in The Loop, one of Northwest Bradenton’s most private gated enclaves, this Todd Johnston-designed pool home pairs space and privacy with a location that puts the best of coastal living within easy reach. Your days start with pond views and end beside your own resort-style backyard. The screened lanai frames a 30x15 heated saltwater pool and spa, recently resurfaced beneath a brand-new screen cage, with a new pool heater and filter, covered patio space for outdoor dining, and a pool bath just steps away. Beyond the screen, lush landscaping and open green space create a setting that feels miles from everything, yet you’re only minutes from it all. Inside, ten-foot ceilings, crown molding, and fresh tile set an elegant tone across the main level. Formal living and dining rooms welcome guests, while the great room is made for everyday gathering. The fully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, with custom cabinetry, granite counters, all-new appliances, and an extended island with storage on both sides, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The layout works for real life. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and en-suite bath, and a second bedroom and private study are also on the main level, ideal for working from home or hosting guests. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share the floor with a 35x22 bonus room that opens through sliders to a private deck overlooking the pond. Make it a media room, gym, studio, or guest wing: the space is there for whatever you need. Big-ticket upgrades are already done: two new AC systems (2020), updated plumbing and electrical, new impact glass at the slider and aquarium window, a new flat roof over the covered patio, and an instant hot water heater. A circular drive, oversized 38x26 three-car garage with attic storage, central vacuum, and a well-water sprinkler system that keeps the grounds green without adding to your water bill round out the package. Then there’s the location. Walk to the trails and kayaking of Robinson Preserve, explore Palma Sola Botanical Park, enjoy easy access to nearby marinas, and reach the beaches of Anna Maria Island in under 10 minutes. Shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are close at hand, and the home is served by Ida M. Stewart Elementary, Martha B. King Middle, and Manatee High. Private, polished, and ready for its next chapter. Schedule your private tour today.
