2504 N RADCLIFFE PLACE, BRADENTON, Manatee, Residential

2405 N Radcliffe Place is the quintessential “Bird of Paradise” model in Bayshore Gardens Park and Recreation District nestled along Sarasota Bay. The special community district was incorporated in 1956 and is one of the earliest planned communities in Manatee County. This fabulous mid-century home was among the first 400 homes built, completed in 1957, and is just a couple blocks from the Rec Hall, Marina, Pool and Park. With a minimalistic design, this three bedroom, two bath home has been lovingly maintained and updated by the current owner. Rich terrazzo floors shine throughout the entire home. The kitchen cabinets have been modernized, yet the original pulls and built-in oven remain, staying true to the home’s original character. Each of the three bedrooms offer natural lighting and ample closet space. The tile in the hall bath remains original, while the primary bath has been modernized for today’s living with a luxurious step-in shower. One of the most important features are the high quality impact windows and doors installed in 2018 – this provides significant peace of mind as well as dramatic reduction in homeowner’s insurance costs. An inviting screened lanai can be accessed from the living room or kitchen, welcoming visitors outdoors while providing protection from the elements. The generously sized lot is fully fenced in the back with newer wooden privacy fencing, while the front features a magnificent Oak tree and open space. There are endless possibilities to transform the yard into a special oasis. An oversized carport and additional storage are also part of the original design. The roof was replaced in 2015, the a/c in 2025.
