4422 Riverview Blvd, Bradenton, FL 34209

One of the most esteemed properties on Riverview Boulevard located in an idyllic setting overlooking the sparkling Manatee River, never before offered for sale on the market. Inspired by the cover of a Homes & Gardens magazine, the owners built this French Provincial-style home for their family in 1967. Stately proportions in the French vernacular offer two stories of living space under a hipped roof, a symmetrical brick facade with intricate custom detail, protruding bays and windows, a classical symmetrical entrance with accenting keystone, dormers with arch topped windows, louvered wood shutters, molded copper gutters and downspouts and oversized Kreissel Forge carriage lanterns. This timeless classic has many features seen in homes built today such ashigh ceilings, wood flooring, flowing floor plan perfect for entertaining, carved and crown molding, plantation shutters, plentiful walk-in closets, center island in kitchen, vintage lighting fixtures, some marble counter tops and large outdoor living spaces. Other features would be difficult to replicate if built today such as large reception area with winding wood staircase, coat and huge storage closets, curved walls, three fireplaces with double chimneys, brass hardware and wormy chestnut paneled library walls. Windows on the riverside of the first floor have been replaced, newer hot water heater. This is an outstanding opportunity to own a beautiful estate property on the Manatee River.
