About this home

Virtually Staged. This charming 1925 Craftsman cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates—an ideal opportunity to own a piece of Florida history without sacrificing today’s comforts. Situated within city limits and just steps from the official historic district, this home offers flexibility to continue enhancing it or enjoy its classic “Old Florida Cracker” charm for generations to come.

With NO HOA, bring your toys, boat, or RV—there’s an extra-long driveway with plenty of parking. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been lovingly maintained, and it shows. Major improvements include a roof replaced in 2025, meticulously maintained HVAC with 10 year warranty available, and updated plumbing and electrical. A professionally installed critter-defense barrier throughout the entire crawlspace adds peace of mind.

The updated kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring solid wood cabinetry, a pantry, stone countertops, a breakfast bar and appliances replaced in 2019—perfect for casual dining and entertaining. The split floor plan offers privacy, with an en-suite front bedroom featuring a tub/shower combo and a spacious primary suite with a walk-in shower.

French doors open from the dining area into a light-filled Florida room, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, while the rear bonus room is ideal for a home office, den, or flex space. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is shaded by mature trees and offers endless potential—whether for entertaining, gardening, or future expansion. A fully screened in porch and bar area add in extra indoor/outdoor entertaining space. A detached shed and workshop make this property a dream for hobbyists and gardeners alike.

Conveniently located near downtown Bradenton, shopping, dining, and just minutes from the best Gulf Coast beaches, this home is the perfect blend of history, lifestyle, and location.

A rare find with character, updates, and freedom—schedule your showing today!
