6303 3RD AVENUE NW Welcome to this unique Northwest Bradenton home, meticulously maintained by its engineer-owner for 25 years. One of the larger homes in the neighborhood, this nearly 2, 700 SF corner-lot property puts the focus on public spaces for entertaining and large families, with a big living room (20 x 18) at the front and an enormous 39 x 15 family room overlooking the pool area through wraparound walls of sliding glass doors! At the center of it all is the kitchen designed for easy traffic flow and a mile-long long bar for large-group dining and entertaining. The split-plan bedroom layout offers privacy for everyone, and the owners suite includes its own lounging area for when you’d like a little private time. The small HOA of Belair Bayou costs only $150 a year but provides for street lighting and a safe, serene family environment with no noisy short-term vacation rentals allowed. Working in the large kitchen is a breeze, with a clear view of the entire pool area through the family room -- throw the doors wide open and celebrate when the weather is right. Expect to relax trouble-free thanks to recent exterior paint, new garage door, newer AC & pool equipment, brand new water heater, and not a stitch of carpet. Bring your water toys because this house is situated less than a mile to Warner’s Bayou Boat Ramp, 3.5 miles to Robinson Preserve and DeSoto National Memorial Park, and under 15 minutes to beautiful Gulf Beaches. Residents love NW Bradenton for lots of reasons, including great schools and nearby amenities like shopping, salons, restaurants, medical care, and picturesque downtown Bradenton just minutes away. 6303 3rd Ave NW is a great tranquil getaway to come home to, so come see it and make it yours.
