Welcome to 4415 Blue Marlin Drive, a unique waterfront estate in the coveted "The Inlets" community of Bradenton, FL, where this particular property is one of only two in the entire community not controlled by the HOA or its restrictions. Set on an oversized 17,276 sq ft lot with 118 feet of direct canal frontage leading to the Manatee River, this home offers an unmatched lifestyle for water enthusiasts and those seeking a private retreat.

Built in 1997 and thoughtfully expanded in 2011, this 3,687 sq ft home under air (5,210 total sq ft) features an expansive floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The second-story addition above the garage serves as a stunning art studio with an en-suite bathroom, perfect for creative endeavors or easily convertible into a guest suite.

The property includes a 20 x 30-foot prefab wood outbuilding, originally designed for a model train display, providing endless possibilities as a guest house, workout space, or hobby workshop. Inside the main home, you'll find soaring ceilings, built-in storage, and luxurious touches throughout. The upstairs primary suite is a private haven with an attached office or den space, offering panoramic views of the water.

Outdoor living is elevated with a sparkling pool and spa, while the wood dock with water and electric connections makes boating effortless. The home also includes modern conveniences such as a Generac generator, tankless water heaters, a 2020 roof, and a golf cart garage converted into a workshop complete with a dust extractor.

Location is everything, and this property delivers! Conveniently situated just minutes from I-75, you're only a short drive away from the cultural and culinary delights of downtown Bradenton and Sarasota. Enjoy easy access to pristine Gulf beaches, and for those who travel frequently, both Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) are within easy reach.

With two driveways, a portico, and a unique blend of privacy and practicality, this property is as functional as it is beautiful. While some updates could enhance its charm, the potential here is limitless—you simply won’t find another property like it.

Don’t miss the opportunity to own one of the few properties in this sought-after community that offers true freedom from HOA control in one of Bradenton’s most desirable waterfront neighborhoods.
