This fixer-upper cottage is located within the historic Braden Castle Park community. The current owner has begun the needed renovations including repairs to the soffit's, removal of an old suspended ceiling to expose the original tongue-and-groove ceiling, new sheet rock walls (unfinished), and luxury plank vinyl flooring. The roof was replaced in 2018. Property is located on the highest elevation in Braden River Park and is NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. Many of the circa 1925 cottages have been totally renovated and live like little doll-houses in this unique, adult-only 55+ community with HOA fees of only $25 per month. Parking is a premium in this community, and this home offers not only a single car garage, but up to 3 parking spaces outside - two of which could accommodate up to a 38 foot boat and trailer; or rent the parking spaces out to your neighbors. Braden Castle Park was founded in 1924, and is located on the riverfront banks at the convergence of the Manatee and Braden Rivers. It offers a unique 'old-world' charm and includes a boat ramp, 700-foot pier, 2 boat docks accommodating approximately 40 boats, plus parking for boat trailers. Other park amenities include a large community hall, men's and ladies clubhouses, shuffleboard courts, and a library that houses exercise equipment, a sewing area and puzzle tables. To maintain a sense of community, rentals are discouraged with 3 years of ownership required before you are allowed to rent and no pets are allowed.
