Just steps from the shimmering waters of Palma Sola Bay, this charming home offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Bradenton's most sought-after hidden gems--Palma Sola Shores. This peaceful, land-owned 55+ waterfront community of just 101 homes is nestled along the bay and features a community dock where residents gather to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, spot dolphins and manatees, cast a fishing line, or launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle. With incredibly low monthly fees of only $275, residents enjoy high-speed internet, cable, water, sewer, trash, recycling, maintenance of common grounds, a heated community pool, and a welcoming clubhouse--all included.
The home itself has classic curb appeal with crisp white siding, black shutters, and a brick base. Inside, the bright and airy layout features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an expansive air-conditioned Florida room that overlooks a beautifully landscaped and easy-to-maintain private garden. Offered fully furnished, this move-in ready home features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen has been upgraded with newer white cabinetry and opens to the dining area, while a window over the sink frames a pleasant view of the garden.
Natural light pours through the newer windows, creating a cheerful ambiance throughout. The spacious master suite features a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, a linen closet, and a neutral-toned ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom offers two twin beds, another walk-in closet, and easy access to the guest bath, which includes a custom soaking tub and updated tile. A hallway closet provides additional storage for linens or daily essentials.
The Florida room is a highlight of the home, with large windows that invite views of the garden and create a bright, serene setting for morning coffee or afternoon reading. Step outside to find even more private covered space for relaxing or entertaining, along with a generous carport and a large utility shed equipped with a full-size washer and dryer.
Additional upgrades include air conditioning replaced in 2018, roof resealed in 2021, new gutters installed in 2024, a SimpliSafe alarm system added in 2025, newer windows from 2010, and an updated electrical panel installed approximately three years ago. Located just a short stroll from the heated pool and clubhouse, this home offers easy access to social events and sunsets spent with neighbors at popular "dock parties."
Positioned in flood zone X, flood insurance is not required--and this home experienced no flooding or damage during the 2024 hurricanes, aside from brand-new gutters that have already been replaced. Residents enjoy a peaceful lifestyle with restrictions that include no leasing, no golf carts, and no pets (service animals and emotional support animals permitted with board approval).
Conveniently located just over the causeway from Anna Maria Island and its award-winning beaches, and near downtown Bradenton, the Riverwalk, golf, IMG Academy, shopping, dining, arts district, and the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, this is a rare chance to own your slice of paradise in Palma Sola Shores.
