8103 16th Ave NW, Bradenton, FL 34209

Here are my best 11 reasons to buy our home 1. Our home was architecturally designed and built by the developer / builder of Kristin Subdivision, Mr. Matthew Chenault. This custom home served as his personal residence for several years, without any other structural replicas here in Bradenton or Manatee County, so we are listing our home for sale by owner for $1,074,000.00 which equates to $350.00 Per Sq Ft, fully furnished. 2.The remaining balance of our 30 Year VA Mortgage ($378,792.00) is assumable at a fixed rate of 3 %; you don’t have to be a Veteran to assume, good credit along with the approval of Freedom Mortgage and the Veteran's Administration, an approved assumption would save you approximately $14,000.00 in interest expense per year, based on current 30 year fixed mortgage rates hovering around 6.8 % 3. Re-roofing installation completed August 2023, by Dynasty Building Solutions, Tampa, Florida, using GAF Timberline HDZ, Shake-wood, High Definition Lifetime singles. 4. Two Lennox High Efficient, 14 SEER, HVAC systems installed April 2022, equipped with REME HALO Units mounted on the Air Handlers, that are designed to eliminate odors, bacteria and viruses, including COVID 19. REME HALO Units does not need the pollutants to travel to the air handler for UV treatment or filtration. These units are proactive and send ionized aggressive advanced oxidizers into the room to destroy the pollutants at the source, in the air and on surfaces, before they can reach you and your family. 5. Our Home is within walking distance of Robinson Preserve, Nationally recognized as areas # one family activity. Robinson Nature Preserve is a salt marsh home to jumping mullet and hundreds of other species of fish and other marine life, 600 + acres of coastal preserve located in northwest Bradenton. The interior features hiking paths, kayak and canoe waterways, bridges, picnic spots, mangrove forests and a 53-foot-tall tower with a panoramic view of Tampa Bay. www.robinsonpreserve.com 6. Short 15 minute drive to IMG Academy's 18 hole championship golf course, semi private that includes access to their practice area and grill room. Tee it up, play 18 holes, have refreshments in the grill room and still have money left over for dinner with your family at Tide Tables in Cortez Villiage. 7. Kristin Subdivision doesn’t have a Home Owners Association (HOA), buyers or investors could rent this property short term, annual, or on a seasonal basis, including a purchase and lease back to the current owners. 8. We love our home; but we need to downsize so our ideal scenario would play out like this, our home sells and the new owner leases it back to us for five months at $7,000.00 per month, $35,000.00 total, while we shop and purchase or rent our new home 9. We consider Florida residential real estate to be a store of value, it’s true that quality homes in our area have increased in price primarily do to the small inventory of quality homes for sale, and a decline in the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar as a result of dilution, the run away printing of paper money giving all of us sticky inflation. 10. Location, area map shows just how close we are to the Manatee River, Palma Sola Bay, and Anna Maria Island Beaches, Holmes, Bradenton, & Coquina , close, but not close enough to require mandatory flood insurance. 11. Bradenton/Sarasota are two cities listed as top contenders for the best places for retirees. Why it’s great: Bradenton/Sarasota offers a blend of cultural attractions, natural beauty, thriving arts scene, stunning beaches, proximity to nature preserves, and abundance of recreational activities make it appealing to families and retirees alike. These cities also boasts excellent healthcare facilities, low crime rate, and vibrant communities. Retirees will appreciate the relaxed pace, active social scene, and high quality of life.
