4003 Hawk Island Drive, Bradenton FL
Positioned along the picturesque private street that defines Hawk Island, this waterfront estate delivers architectural scale, exceptional privacy, and direct boating access inside one of Bradenton’s most exclusive guard gated communities. With a single road serving the entire peninsula, the setting feels discreet and insulated, yet close to everything that makes life on Florida’s Gulf Coast so desirable.
Extensively refreshed with a new roof, new interior and exterior paint, and new flooring throughout, the home presents with a clean, cohesive aesthetic. Inside, beautiful 18 foot ceilings elevate the main living areas, bringing in natural light and showcasing long water views from nearly every primary space.
The kitchen anchors the home with generous proportions and seamless connectivity to both formal and casual living areas, designed for everyday living and entertaining without feeling segmented. Expansive glass doors open to a sprawling covered lower lanai, while the upper open air terrace captures elevated sunset views and coastal breezes.
The floor plan was intentionally designed for flexibility. In addition to the primary suite, a true second master suite offers comfort and separation for extended guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a substantial bonus room and private living area create an ideal retreat for older children or visiting family, offering independence while still connected to the home’s central spaces.
Two dedicated office spaces support a work from home lifestyle, including a main office with a private flex room positioned just behind it, ideal for a curated wine room, fitness studio, or secure specialty space tailored to the next owner’s preferences.
Outdoor living unfolds across multiple seating areas and is anchored by an oversized pool and spa, along with a separate soak pool that enhances the resort-style setting. A private dock with lift and an observation and fishing pier extend from the rear of the property. With water exposure on both sides of the residence, the views and atmosphere feel expansive, while the positioning remains composed and protected, a rare advantage in Manatee County waterfront living. Enjoy sunrise over the Manatee River where dolphin, rays, sharks, and coastal fish feed in the shallows just offshore.
Car enthusiasts will appreciate the four car garage configuration, including two detached bays, along with an oversized drive offering additional parking and a strong sense of arrival. Mature, lush landscaping surrounds the property, reinforcing its privacy and established character.
Convenient to Gulf beaches, private golf clubs, dining, no-bridge boating access to Anna Maria Island and Tampa Bay, and the airports of Sarasota and Tampa, 4003 Hawk Island Drive presents a distinctive opportunity within a tightly held waterfront community defined by scale, discretion, and lifestyle.
