About This Property

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Key West–inspired 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence in Bradenton’s historic Wares Creek District, approximately 1 mile from downtown Bradenton and approximately 8 miles by car from the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. Rich in architectural character, this home combines historic neighborhood charm, walkability and an exceptional indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. From the moment you enter the front garden, the home begins to unfold. A dramatic pathway winds through river stone and lush tropical plantings toward a deep, welcoming covered porch—a memorable introduction to a Florida cottage with a character all its own. Behind the recently painted exterior is a home that feels collected: original finishes, distinctive details and unexpected touches give it a warm, slightly whimsical personality all its own. A dramatic bonus room/home office provides valuable additional living space. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and a distinctive hexagon tile floor. Nearby, a built-in wine and cocktail closet with dedicated bottle and stemware storage adds an unexpected touch for entertaining. The newly renovated primary bath is a showpiece, featuring an oversized walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling large-format Italian tile and a generous garden-facing window. Built in 1926, the home retains its charming original front door and windows, enhanced with professionally installed solar-control film. Updates include a new electrical panel, metal roof and recently painted exterior. Outdoors, mature tropical landscaping, flowering plants, orchids and a fruit-bearing mango tree surround a distinctive L-shaped heated saltwater pool and spa, built in 2022, with a travertine deck and covered outdoor living area. Even in the Sunshine State, the front porch can make you look forward to the rain. Settle in with morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, watch the neighborhood quietly go by, or enjoy a Florida rainstorm rolling through the tropical garden. This isn’t a house designed to look like every other house on the market. It’s warm, slightly whimsical and distinctly Florida—a home with personality, mature tropical beauty and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
