13 OAK STREET Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to Braden Castle, the home of the original "Tiny" homes just like the ones featured on HGTV. This adorable, riverfront community is located in a golf cart-friendly enclave of small homes, in a 55-plus community, unique to Manatee County. This perfectly situated, one bedroom, one bath is a bright and airy home with estuary views. The home has been updated and is move-in ready. The adorable features added make it feel coastal and allows you to live your best Florida life. Sip cocktails down by the River while watching pelicans fly overhead and fish jump in the wide Manatee River that leads to the Gulf of Mexico. This home will make you feel you are permanently on vacation. This entire community is on the National Register of Historic Places, originally established by the Tin Cup Campers in the 1920s. This super-friendly community allows ample opportunity to socialize. Besides the 700-foot fishing pier, there are boat ramps, private boat docks and recreational facilities with numerous events and activities on the community calendar. Check out a book at the library, enjoy a game of pool, work out in the exercise room, get creative in the sewing room or challenge your friends to shuffleboard. There is always something happening here — the community bulletin board and newsletter will keep you informed. Although this is a secluded little village, it is only minutes from terrific restaurants, shopping and world-class beaches. Where else can you live on the direct waterfront for so little?
