Description

A Grand Southern Colonial Retreat in the Heart of El ConquistadorPrivacy. Elegance. History. And a setting that is becoming almost impossible to find.Privacy. Character. Architectural Distinction. A Rare El Conquistador Setting.There are homes that make an impression-and then there are homes that have a presence all their own. Set beneath a canopy of magnificent mature oaks in El Conquistador, one of Bradenton's most established luxury neighborhoods, this elegant Southern Colonial residence offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous space and exceptional privacy.Built in 1992 for the original owner, the home showcases classic Colonial Revival architecture, including a handsome brick exterior, steeply pitched gabled rooflines, dormer windows, traditional shutters and a gracious columned entrance. The timeless design feels perfectly at home among the property's mature landscaping and majestic oak trees, creating a sense of permanence and elegance that is increasingly difficult to find.The setting is every bit as special as the architecture. Situated on approximately one-third of an acre, the property enjoys an extraordinary level of privacy, with no immediate neighbors on either side. A preserve borders two sides of the homesite, while an additional unbuildable lot provides even more separation. The result is a peaceful, park-like setting where mature trees and natural surroundings become part of the view.Inside, approximately 3,499 square feet offers an impressive amount of living space, including four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a separate den that provides the perfect setting for a home office, library, study or quiet retreat. The generous floor plan offers plenty of room for both everyday living and entertaining.Outside, the expansive homesite presents an opportunity to create the outdoor retreat you've envisioned, including ample room for a private pool. A detached two-car garage adds convenience while complementing the architectural character of the main residence. The property is also located outside a flood zone.The original owner has cared for this home for more than three decades, and the original architectural plans remain with the property-a unique connection to the home's history and the vision behind its design.And the location is exceptional. From its established setting in El Conquistador, you're just minutes from IMG Academy, Sarasota, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining and the many amenities of the Bradenton-Sarasota area.This is not simply a home on a large lot. It is an opportunity to own a beautifully established piece of El Conquistador, where architectural character, mature surroundings and genuine privacy come together in a setting that would be extraordinarily difficult to recreate today.A home with history. A homesite with privacy. And an architectural presence that stands apart.
