5245 88th St E, Bradenton, FL 34211

Make this your next home and be ready for the hurricane season with a whole house generator and hurricane shutters! Not to mention a brand new a/c system, roof replaced in 2019. Perched right on the 7th fairway of the prestigious Rosedale Golf & Country Club, this light-filled retreat offers the perfect blend of elegance and effortless Florida living. The home currently features a versatile layout that the seller is enhancing for the next owner—they will professionally remove the built-in office furniture in the den and add a closet to officially convert it into a true third bedroom with an appropriate offer. From the moment you walk in, a wall of windows draws your eyes straight to the lush green views of the course. The floor plan is designed for both quiet relaxation and lively entertaining, featuring formal living and dining areas alongside a cozy family room. The spacious primary suite serves as a genuine sanctuary, while the oversized garage (567 sq ft!) provides more than enough room for your vehicles, golf cart, and seasonal gear. Step through the sliders into your own private backyard oasis. Whether you’re cooling off in the sparkling pool, unwinding in the spa, or hosting a BBQ at the outdoor kitchen, the backdrop of the golf course provides a serene sense of space, while mature landscaping ensures your privacy remains intact. Living in Rosedale means enjoying a vibrant, secure lifestyle with two manned gates, dog parks, and high-speed internet/cable all included in the HOA. While club membership is optional in this section of the community, the amenities are hard to resist: an 18-hole championship course, five Har-Tru tennis courts, a wellness center, and a junior Olympic pool. The modernized clubhouse is the heart of the neighborhood, offering everything from casual bistro patio dining to elegant social events. Perfectly positioned for quick trips to downtown Bradenton, Sarasota, or even Tampa, this home offers the "lock and leave" flexibility seasonal residents love with the comfort and community full-time residents crave.
