Positioned just one lot back from the Manatee River, this south-facing residence captures the core of the Historic Palmetto River District lifestyle without the direct waterfront price. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom (counting the in law suite) custom home features 2,235 square feet of well-designed interior living space paired with an optimized layout for modern Florida living.
