306 Chauncey Ave, Bradenton, FL 34208

Welcome home to historic Florida, where community blends with lush, natural landscape and spectacular Manatee River views. This is one of the region's first communities, which has a lovely old Florida feel, with cottages from the 1920's sitting next to modern builds. Take a walk along the river for a beautiful, promenade-like setting. There are lots of green spaces with majestic oaks and tall palms. You will find your neighbors strolling the historic streets, fishing along the Riverwalk, and putting in kayaks and paddleboards. This is a rare hidden gem, with plenty of space and surrounding water views. Bring your boat and your toys as this home has no deed restrictions, and the Manatee Ave Boat Ramp is less than one mile away.
