Eleanor's Hideaway - Bradenton, FL

Beautiful days on the water and spectacular nightly sunsets await at this custom waterfront estate on the sparkling shores of Sarasota Bay. This luxury home is the Florida Gulf Coast at its finest, offering a boat dock, a heated swimming pool and spa, and one of the only private sandy beaches in the area.

This bayfront property feels exclusive and removed, tucked away near the end of its road in Bayshore Gardens. Yet it's also a quick drive to downtown Sarasota (eight miles), Lido Key (11 miles), Longboat Key (12 miles), and Anna Maria Island (12 miles), with ample parking awaiting you on your return.

The property was designed for making the most of the balmy Florida weather, from the expansive lawn lined with palms to the screened lanai that flanks the rear of the house. Take out your boat or the two provided kayaks for a gorgeous day on the water, unwind in the pool and spa, or fix a few cold drinks at the outdoor bar. There's a wealth of covered outdoor seating for lounging, barbecuing, and dining - both on the pool terrace and upstairs on the shaded lanai.

Inside, find a natural space for entertaining, with breathtaking views of the bay from almost every room. A recent renovation has given the home a refreshed sense of luxury, from the lofty ceilings in the foyer to the entirely new kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Enjoy a large living room, a formal dining room, and a sitting room just off the kitchen, all with direct access to the outdoors. Each day will begin and end in the rec room downstairs, complete with gym equipment for your morning workouts, a pool table, a cornhole set, a TV area, and a bar.

All five bedrooms open to the outdoors, including a fantastic primary suite with two walls of glass, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub and shower. The four bedrooms on the second floor all have their own TVs while the downstairs bunk room adjoins the rec room. Central air conditioning, a private washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and such family-friendly amenities as a Pack 'N Play and a high chair are provided as well.
