Discover the charm of Old Florida living in this vintage 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home, ideally situated just one block from the Manatee River in West Palmetto. Set on nearly a half-acre lot, this property offers rare potential — with the possibility to subdivide for additional residences (subject to county approval). The existing home features classic wood flooring and a spacious, attached 3+ car garage workshop with over 1,200 square feet — perfect for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. A new A/C was installed in 2022, and the home is ready for your personal touch and vision. Located just down the street from Emerson Point Preserve, the Bradenton Yacht Club, and multiple marinas, this is a true boater’s paradise with easy access to a public boat ramp, waterfront dining, and laid-back tiki bars. Best of all, there are no deed restrictions or HOA fees, and it’s located in unincorporated Manatee County for a lower tax base. Come see why so many are discovering the unique appeal of West Palmetto and Snead Island — a peaceful, nature-filled setting just minutes from major roads, schools, shopping, and all the waterfront activities the Gulf Coast has to offer.
