About This Home
Historic Charm on a Rare Double Lot in Wares Creek
Welcome home to this beautifully updated 1940s gem in Bradenton's coveted Wares Creek Historic District — where timeless character meets modern comfort, all set on a rare and desirable double lot.
Step through the front door and feel the warmth of restored hardwood floors, original 6-over-1 windows, and classic plantation shutters throughout. The sun-drenched Florida Room welcomes you just off the living area — an ideal spot for a home office, reading nook, or quiet morning coffee. The spacious living room centers around a cozy fireplace and flows effortlessly into a generous dining room, made for gathering and entertaining.
The fully remodeled kitchen is a showstopper: soft-close custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a gas range make this space as functional as it is beautiful.
This home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic soul.
Outside, your private oasis awaits — thanks to the extra-large double-lot footprint, this backyard delivers space you won't find anywhere else nearby. Enjoy a fully fenced, expansive yard with a custom-lit TREX deck, storage shed, and automatic well irrigation. RV or boat owner? You'll love the 45-foot parking pad with 30-amp service, tucked safely behind a gated entry — and with no HOA, the possibilities are yours to shape.
Major updates for total peace of mind include a new metal roof with new fascia, soffit, and gutters, a tankless water heater, full electrical rewire with updated panel, updated plumbing, and fresh interior paint.
Ideally positioned just steps from Wares Creek — grab your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard — and only minutes from downtown Bradenton's restaurants, museums, the Riverwalk, and the weekly Farmer's Market.
Rare space, timeless character, and modern peace of mind — homes like this on a double lot don't come around often. Schedule your showing today.
