About this home
5030 18TH AVENUE W
Perched on one of the most spectacular homesites near the Bradenton Country Club, this custom residence designed by acclaimed Tampa architect Harry MacEwen offers sweeping panoramic views of the lake and golf course from nearly every room. Now offered by only its second owner, this architecturally significant home has been extensively renovated since 2015, pairing its original old-world character with the comfort and quality of a modern luxury home. Enjoy the added freedom of No Flood Insurance Required, No CDD Fees, and No HOA Fees. Inside, soaring volume ceilings, dramatic exposed beams, and walls of windows frame the water and fairway views. Rich wood flooring flows through much of the home, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the inviting family room. Custom built-ins and generous closets provide exceptional storage throughout. The completely renovated chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, with dual ovens, dual dishwashers, a high-end induction cooktop, abundant custom cabinetry, and views over the infinity-edge pool, lake, and golf course beyond. The primary suite is a private retreat with a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms and a versatile bonus room provide space for a home office, media room, fitness area, or additional living quarters. Outdoors, the infinity-edge pool appears to flow into the lake and is surrounded by an expansive travertine deck with room for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Aluminum and privacy fencing create a secluded setting without sacrificing the views. Improvements since 2015 include a newer roof, impact-rated windows and sliders, replacement HVAC, new siding, a fully renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, upgraded irrigation, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a redesigned circular driveway. Minutes from the beaches of Anna Maria Island, downtown Bradenton, Sarasota, and fine dining, shopping, and medical facilities, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark home in one of Bradenton's most desirable golf course communities. Room sizes are approximate and should be verified by the buyer.

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.
