2ベッドルーム2。5バス歴史的な家（ウォータービュー、静かな近所、ダウンタウン近く）

We fell in love with this area when we decided to get married on Anna Maria island some years ago. We used to rent on the island but decided to set up house in Bradenton, and save this old Florida gem from demolition. We completely remodelled it, over 3 years, whilst retaining as much of its early character and charm as possible. In the process we discovered Bradenton lives up to its name of the 'Friendly City'. We have a wonderful community of local businesses, eateries, and our lovely neighbourhood and neighbours.

We love being near the water, the great old oak trees in our yard and around our quiet neighbourhood, and our proximity to local historical sites, Downtown, the Riverwalk, the gulf island beaches and our great location between the cultural hubs of Tampa, St Petersburg and Sarasota.
