About this home

Set on a rare double corner lot in Bradenton’s coveted Wares Creek Historic District, this 1940s Craftsman blends timeless character with the modern updates buyers want most, and recent improvements make it more move-in ready than ever. From the street, the classic front porch and Craftsman lines set the tone. Step inside to restored hardwood floors and plantation shutters throughout, carrying the warmth and charm that newer homes simply can’t replicate. Just off the living area, a sun-drenched Florida room makes an ideal home office, reading nook, or spot for quiet morning coffee. The spacious living room centers around a fireplace and flows into a generous dining room made for holiday dinners and easy entertaining. The fully remodeled kitchen is the showpiece: soft-close custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas range, and a wine fridge make it as functional as it is beautiful. Three bedrooms and two baths have been thoughtfully updated while preserving the home’s historic soul. The big-ticket work is done, so you can enjoy the charm without the worry. A new metal roof with new fascia, soffit, and gutters, a full electrical rewire with an updated panel, updated plumbing, a tankless water heater, a new AC fan, professionally cleaned ductwork, and a new entry door are already in place. Outside, the oversized double lot delivers a backyard you won’t find anywhere else nearby. The fully fenced yard features a custom-lit TREX deck for evening gatherings, a storage shed, and automatic well irrigation that keeps the landscaping green. RV or boat owner? A 45-foot parking pad with 30-amp service sits behind a gated entry, and with no HOA, you have the freedom to make this property your own. The location is just as special. Walk to Wares Creek and launch your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, then head minutes into downtown Bradenton for restaurants, museums, the Riverwalk, and the weekly farmers market. Historic neighborhood charm, room to spread out, and the updates already done: homes like this don’t come around twice. Schedule your showing today.
