9644 18TH AVENUE CIRCLE

Picture life just minutes from the Gulf and Anna Maria Island, tucked behind the gates of The Loop, one of Northwest Bradenton’s most sought-after neighborhoods. This traditional-style home, built by Mark Wolfe Construction, rests on nearly half an acre of quiet, with palm-lined privacy, and it is ready to welcome you home. Your days start slowly here. Morning coffee is brewed in the beautifully updated kitchen, with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a Fisher & Paykel propane range, quartzite counters, and custom cabinetry glowing in the early light. When it’s time to work, the private office tucked into the recently remodeled primary suite keeps the rest of the house peaceful. At the end of the day, the recently remodeled primary bath feels like a spa in your own home, with a relaxing tub, and a walk-in shower and luxury everywhere you look. When friends come to stay, they settle into their own wing, with refreshed baths, new hardwood floors, and custom closets that make every visit feel easy. Then the afternoon belongs to you. French doors open to a covered porch, and the sparkling saltwater pool and spa are kept warm by a brand-new heater. You might take a lazy swim, enjoy a book in the shade, or pour something cold at the dry bar. As the day winds down, adventure is close by. Wander the gardens at Palma Sola Botanical Park just outside the gates, paddle the mangroves at Robinson Preserve, or drive 10 minutes to Anna Maria Island to dig your toes into the sand as the sun sinks into the Gulf. The hard work is already done, with a newer roof, block-and-stucco construction, fresh paint inside and out, and an X500 flood zone. All that’s left is to unpack and start living the life you’ve been dreaming of.
