Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into the charm of a beautifully maintained 1925 bungalow in Bradenton's sought-after Wares Creek neighborhood, where timeless character meets thoughtful modern improvements. Set on a generous 75 × 126-foot lot, this distinctive home offers the warmth and personality of historic construction along with numerous important updates already completed. Inside, the home's character shines through with refinished hardwood floors, a dramatic vaulted wood ceiling, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with stone surround. The inviting living and dining areas provide a wonderful setting for gathering, while the charming kitchen opens naturally to the dining space. Three bedrooms, a full bath, indoor laundry, pantry and a versatile enclosed front porch/sunroom provide flexible space for everyday living, working from home or relaxing. Significant structural and mechanical improvements have been completed in recent years. In July 2024, engineered structural support improvements were completed under Permit #242535, including 15 crawl-space jacks and a new 4" × 6" pressure-treated wood beam. On July 16, 2024, Florida-licensed Professional Engineer Kenneth F. Wheeler, P.E. (License No. 60417) inspected the Installation Log and approved the installation as being in accordance with the project's engineered design and the 2023 Florida Building Code. Engineering certification and the as-built documentation are available. Additional improvements include a new permitted HVAC system installed in 2023, updated electrical wiring replacing the home's original cloth wiring, a newer water heater with associated fittings, valves and drain pan, and 2024 drainage-line work. Hardwood floors were refinished in 2021, kitchen appliances were replaced in 2023, and the washer and dryer were replaced in 2022. The interior has also been freshly painted within the past two years. The outdoor space is a standout feature. The oversized, fully fenced backyard includes established landscaping and a living privacy fence, creating a wonderful setting for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the generous private yard. A large concrete slab provides flexible space for a patio, outdoor entertaining area or potential boat/RV use, subject to applicable requirements. The property also offers a detached shed, alley access and additional off-street parking, with no HOA. The generous lot also provides flexibility for future outdoor improvements or a permitted accessory structure, subject to City requirements and setbacks. The home and shed were professionally termite-tented in June 2024, with documentation available. The property is also located in FEMA Flood Zone X. Located near downtown Bradenton, the Riverwalk, Village of the Arts, restaurants, shops and local amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with genuine 1920s character, a generous lot and many of the major improvements associated with maintaining an older home already addressed. For buyers looking for something with personality, land, history and thoughtful updates—not another cookie-cutter house—this Wares Creek bungalow deserves a look.
