Description

Offered to the market for the first time, "The Belle of the Bayou" is a one-acre waterfront estate that has been custom-crafted for luxury. Situated in Warner’s Bayou, one of Bradenton’s most desirable neighborhoods, this one-of-a-kind property is just a brief 15 minute cruise by land or sea to the gorgeous beaches of Anna Maria Island. Past the private hedge-lined entrances and hand-laid paver circle driveway, your grand foyer entrance opens to a sitting room with a Baldwin baby grand piano, one of two wood-burning fireplaces, and views of the pool and waterfront. On the north end of the home, retreat to your private owner’s suite with access to the pool and backyard, and a completely renovated ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Walk through the mahogany-finished billiards room to your chef’s kitchen boasting a wet bar with commercial ice maker, Subzero refrigerator and drawer freezers finished to match the custom cabinetry, dual Bosch ovens, and five-burner propane cooktop. The granite countertops give ample prep space for entertaining in the expansive great room or the formal dining room, with central vacuum throughout your home for easy cleanup. Guests will feel right at home as they retire to the attached guest’s wing that can be closed off from the rest of the home for more privacy. Accessed via two staircases at each end of your home, the second floor features an office, living room, and two bathrooms, as well as three bedrooms with balcony access and panoramic views of the backyard and waterfront. Bespoke touches abound throughout your 6,496 square foot home including custom closets and cabinetry, built-in bookcases, and hand-cut millwork and crown molding. Enjoy the outdoors from your large paver deck with a 40,000+ gallon saltwater pool and hot tub, massive backyard with 155 feet of waterfront, and private dock. The 30 foot dock has plenty of space for storing personal watercraft and accessories, as well as two 13,000 lb boat lifts - giving you access to some of the best watersports and fisheries in the world just minutes from your own backyard.
