About this home
3519 70TH AVENUE E
Welcome to North River Estates, a desirable land-owned 55+ community where you own the land—no lot rent! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,485 sq. ft. of living space enjoys a setting that is hard to duplicate, with protected conservation behind the property and a peaceful pond view out front. The home offers a comfortable, inviting floor plan with plenty of natural light. One of the highlights is the enclosed patio featuring both screens and glass windows. Open the windows to enjoy the Florida breeze, or close them and allow air from the home to flow into the space, making it enjoyable during more of the year. The backyard is bordered by mature Florida vegetation and protected conservation, providing a beautiful natural backdrop with no development immediately behind you. Out front, enjoy views across the community pond. Here's where this property becomes even more unique: the owner also owns the oversized vacant lot next door, which is separately listed and may be purchased together with the home. The adjoining lot also backs to the protected conservation area and enjoys a pond view, creating an exceptional opportunity for someone who wants considerably more space and privacy. North River Estates offers a low monthly HOA fee that includes lawn maintenance. Residents enjoy a beautiful clubhouse with a heated community pool, fitness room, billiards, full kitchen, covered outdoor gathering area, and plenty of space for social events and community activities. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants and I-75, with easy access to Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa. A 3-bedroom home with conservation behind it, a pond view out front, and the opportunity to purchase the oversized adjoining lot—this is a combination you don't find every day in North River Estates.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property. Condition, floor, view and lot are not fully captured by any model — ask us for a full comparative market analysis.
