1101 Lemonwood Ave Bradenton, FL 34207

Sometimes the picture says it all. If you've been searching for your own pot of gold in Florida, you may have just found it. This cheerful 2-bedroom, 1-bath Florida bungalow offers something increasingly difficult to find a detached home on a fully fenced quarter-acre lot with NO HOA, plenty of privacy, and the freedom to actually use your property the way you want. Bring the boat, RV, garden plans, pets and outdoor toys, there's room here to enjoy the Florida lifestyle instead of just dreaming about it. Step into the backyard and you'll understand why this home is so special. Gather around the custom fire-pit area, tend the raised garden beds, rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day at the beach, or relax beneath the covered outdoor spaces surrounded by mature landscaping. Crepe myrtles and pollinator-friendly plants attract finches, mockingbirds, bluebirds and even visiting parrots, creating a backyard that feels like your own private Florida retreat. And yes, there's even a chicken coop! For the buyer who loves the idea of a backyard homestead, the laying hens may be available to stay. Inside, approximately 992 square feet have been thoughtfully used to create a comfortable, easy-to-maintain home filled with the colorful, relaxed personality of a classic Florida bungalow. This is not cookie-cutter new construction, and that's exactly what makes it memorable. Behind all that charm are important Florida-friendly improvements, including hurricane-impact windows, a newer water heater, new washer and dryer, Nest thermostat, new garbage disposal, approximately 8-year-old A/C system and improved 24-inch ductwork. A portable generator is included, adding another valuable feature for storm preparedness. Need storage? You have it. A one-car garage plus a substantial detached shed provide space for tools, hobbies, beach gear and more, while the oversized fenced yard gives you flexibility rarely found in condos, villas or newer HOA communities. The location puts Bradenton, Sarasota, shopping, dining and Florida's Gulf Coast beaches within easy reach, including beautiful Anna Maria Island. Looking for a Florida getaway without starting from scratch? With an acceptable offer, the seller is willing to leave most of the furnishings, giving the next owner the opportunity to move in and begin enjoying Florida almost immediately. A few personal items are excluded. NO HOA. Quarter-acre fenced lot. Hurricane-impact windows. Boat & RV space. Garage. Detached shed. Generator. Outdoor shower. Fire pit. Garden beds. Furnishings available. And enough personality to remind you why you wanted to live in Florida in the first place. Maybe there really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
