INCOME POTENTIAL!! Step back in time and feel the warmth of Old Florida in this lovingly cared for 1925 bungalow in Bradenton’s Historic Wares Creek district. From the moment you step onto the wide front porch, you’re greeted by beautiful craftsmanship that makes this home so special. Inside, you’ll find 2 bedrooms plus a flexible 3rd that could serve as an office or guest space, 2 full baths, and a dedicated laundry room. Original heart pine floors throughout the main living areas, 9-foot ceilings invite in light and air, and a decorative fireplace adds cozy charm. Classic craftsman millwork frames each room with timeless detail. Recent upgrades include a gas stove, new refrigerator, tankless water heater, new washer and dryer, and freshly painted interior and exterior.
Above the two-car garage, a private one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with a full kitchen opens the door to possibility. This spacious mother-in-law suite is not only ideal for visiting family and friends, but it also offers strong INCOME POTENTIAL, whether as a short-term rental for vacationers, a retreat for seasonal guests, or a steady annual tenant. With separate alley-access parking for both the main home and the apartment, everyone has space and privacy.
Outdoors, the property blooms with tropical landscaping, a spacious lot, and the gift of your own backyard retreat including an above-ground pool and jacuzzi for cooling off on sunny afternoons or stargazing nights.
All of this is just minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown Bradenton, where you’ll find a thriving farmers market, award-winning restaurants, and charming boutiques. And when you’re ready for the beach, Anna Maria Island’s sugar sands are just a 15 minute drive!
This home is a rare blend of history, heart, and opportunity. Whether you’re seeking a storybook bungalow to call home, an investment property that works for you, or both….this one is ready to welcome you!
