Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Bradenton

Description of Property

Nestled in history and brimming with charm, this extraordinary home, built in 1925, is being offered for the first time in over 65 years. Cherished and meticulously maintained by two generations, it showcases an array of timeless original features, including rich oak and pine floors, one-panel doors with vintage glass knobs, authentic windows, and even a built-in mailbox. Thoughtful updates to the kitchen and bathrooms seamlessly blend modern convenience with the home's classic 1920s character. The kitchen boasts pristine white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and gleaming white quartz countertops—a perfect fusion of style and function. With over 2,800 square feet of living space, the home offers warmth and elegance, featuring four spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a later addition of an oversized family room and a two-car garage. The arched front door opens into a sun-drenched living room where oak hardwood floors, a built-in bookcase, and a (non-functioning) original fireplace exude timeless appeal. Double-cased openings lead to distinctive spaces: on the right, a transformed sun porch now serves as a delightful music studio, while to the left, a formal dining room awaits memorable gatherings. The thoughtful layout includes a convenient downstairs bedroom and a charming white-tiled guest bathroom, perfect for accommodating visitors. Upstairs, the master bedroom exudes charm with ample closet space and a built-in bookcase, complemented by two additional bedrooms filled with natural light streaming through original windows. A beautifully updated bathroom showcases marble flooring, a custom vanity, and a serene atmosphere. Adding to the allure of the upper floor is what was originally a sleeping porch, now transformed into a versatile home office. This unique space has also become a favorite sleepover haven for grandkids, who love to stake their claim, and its bright, airy ambiance would make an inspiring art studio. The home extends its charm outdoors with a gated driveway leading to a private, enclosed gathering space beneath the expansive canopy of a majestic live oak tree. Perfect for quiet afternoons or lively get-togethers, this shaded retreat enhances the home’s warm and welcoming appeal. This one-of-a-kind property beautifully balances history, character, and modern living; a rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved piece of history, ready to create new memories for generations to come.
