About this home

Nestled along one of Bradenton's charming tree-lined streets in the Historic Ware's Creek neighborhood, this enchanting 1920 bungalow offers a glimpse into a bygone era while placing you just moments from the energy of downtown. Rich with character and timeless appeal, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is more than a residence—it's a piece of Bradenton's story. This hidden gem has become a favorite among travelers seeking an authentic Bradenton experience, operating as a successful Airbnb and attracting guests who appreciate its historic charm and unbeatable location. From morning walks along Ware's Creek to evenings spent exploring downtown Bradenton, the Riverwalk, Village of the Arts, local restaurants, breweries, and community events, this is a neighborhood where lifestyle takes center stage. Unlike many historic homes, this property offers the convenience of a private driveway and additional rear parking. With 1,433 square feet under roof, the home lives larger than its footprint and provides plenty of space to relax after a day at the beach or exploring all that the Gulf Coast has to offer. Located just minutes from IMG Academy, Anna Maria Island, and some of Florida's most beautiful beaches, this property is equally suited as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or investment opportunity. Ware's Creek has become one of Bradenton's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, known for its eclectic architecture, front-porch charm, and strong sense of community. Opportunities to own a home with this much character, history, and walkability are increasingly rare. Come experience a neighborhood where neighbors wave, downtown is just a stroll away, and every home has a story to tell.
