West Bradenton Pool Home Just Minutes from the Beach! Opportunity is knocking! Freshly Painted tropical teal blue and located on a quiet street in highly desirable West Bradenton, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home is just a few short miles from the beautiful Gulf beaches and offers the perfect chance to create your own Florida retreat or investment property. The screened in, chlorine pool features a newer pool heater (2025) as well. Previously used as a successful vacation rental, the home features fun tropical colors and a layout that's ideal for entertaining. The split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy for guests, while the spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the screened lanai and private pool through sliding glass doors. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, while two guest bedrooms and a full bath are situated on the opposite side of the home. A two-car garage and separate storage shed provide plenty of room for beach gear, tools, and toys. A brand-new HVAC system and thermostat was just installed in July of 2026, offering peace of mind for the next owner. The water heater was replaced in 2016, and the electrical service was upgraded in 2022. The pool is heated and the heater was installed in 2025. The owner also replaced the stove with a new GE stove in the first week of August. Located just minutes from Anna Maria Island, shopping, restaurants, parks, and all the best of West Bradenton, this home offers an outstanding combination of location, functionality, and potential. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a seasonal getaway, or your next investment property, this is a fantastic opportunity in one of West Bradenton's most desirable locations.
