Picture your mornings on a large screened lanai, coffee in hand, as sunlight sparkles across your private pool. This immaculate 1 story pool home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a den sits in Bradenton's established Candlewood neighborhood and has been cared for with pride. Inside, spacious rooms flow together under easy-care large-format tile throughout the living areas, while luxury vinyl warms the bedrooms. The split bedroom floor plan gives the primary suite its own private wing, keeps guest rooms comfortably apart, and adds a convenient half bath for visitors. The den is ready to become a home office, hobby room or quiet reading retreat. When the afternoon calls, step out to the beautiful screened pool and large lanai, made for weekend gatherings, evening swims and Florida's year-round sunshine. Peace of mind comes built in: concrete block construction, HVAC replaced in 2023, roof replaced in 2017, a 2 car garage and a generous 0.27-acre lot in flood zone X. Candlewood is a pet friendly community, and its convenient location puts shopping, dining and major roads close by, with downtown Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Gulf beaches an easy drive away.
