710 26TH Street W Come home to golden hour, every single day. This 2-bedroom home in Bradenton, close to everything, saves its best surprise for last: a private backyard with alley access between 7th and 8th Ave W, giving you extra room for a boat, RV, or additional parking. Fully fenced for privacy, with a deck off the family room and a retractable awning for shade. There is already a shed for extra storage on-site that will be remaining. The west-facing rear exposure is a fabulous opportunity for evenings under a nightly sunset show. Inside, an updated kitchen anchors the home, with a comfortable living room and a separate family room offering real flexibility for everyday life or entertaining. A bonus room with a window and closet adds even more possibility, whether you need a home office, den, or guest space. Masonry construction throughout, with laundry conveniently located off the kitchen. Pull into the driveway and one-car attached garage directly from 26th St W. Two big wins here: no HOA and no flood insurance required (Flood Zone X). Whether you're searching for a home to love or an investment opportunity, this one checks the boxes: a prime Bradenton location, real outdoor living space, and flexibility that's hard to find at this price point. The location works as hard as the backyard does, minutes from LECOM Park (spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, regular season home of the Bradenton Marauders), the galleries and studios of the Village of the Arts, the Manatee River Riverwalk, and Ware's Creek. Foodies will love the local dining scene, from waterfront favorites like Pier 22 to charming French bakeries and classic breakfast houses. Anna Maria Island's beaches, historic City Pier, and Pine Avenue shops are a short drive west, with IMG Academy and its year-round training programs also nearby. Manatee Memorial Hospital and the State College of Florida - Bradenton campus are both close by as well.
