How is this one still available? Whether it slipped past you the first time or you’re just now discovering it, this is your sign to take a second look. Tucked into Lakeside South, one of West Bradenton’s most sought-after communities, this home has been cared for with a level of pride you rarely see. The big-ticket items are already done: new roof (2024), A/C (2023), water heater (2021), eight hurricane impact windows (2020), plus a brand-new dishwasher and garbage disposal (2026). The sellers didn’t stop there. They also added front shade awnings, newer vinyl windows and screens on the lanai, a new garage slider screen, a garage door opener, and an updated microwave. Durable steel siding resists mildew and keeps exterior upkeep to a minimum. Inside, the 1,331 sq ft split 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan gives everyone their own space, and the spacious lanai is ready for morning coffee or evening sunsets over the water. A 1-car garage adds storage and convenience. Then there’s the neighborhood. Lakeside South offers a welcoming, maintenance-free lifestyle with a $169/month HOA that covers cable TV, high-speed internet, and lawn care. Amenities include a clubhouse, community events, heated pool, tennis, pickleball, basketball, and shuffleboard. The community is pet-friendly with no age restrictions. You’re minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, GT Bray Park, downtown Bradenton, and the Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island. Updated, move-in ready, priced right, and in a location this good, homes like this don’t come around often. Don’t let it slip by twice. Come see it for yourself.
