Description of Property
Captivating 1920s Craftsman in Historic Wares Creek Step into the warmth and character of this vintage bungalow, nestled beneath the majestic oaks of the sought-after Wares Creek neighborhood. Brimming with original 1920s charm, the main home offers two (potentially three!) bedrooms and two baths, complete with classic Craftsman built-ins, rich hardwood floors, and the inviting ambiance only a historic home can provide. Outside, a rare detached two-car garage includes a workshop plus a full upstairs garage apartment—ideal for multi-generational living, a guest retreat, artist studio, or valuable rental income. Located just west of Downtown Bradenton, residents enjoy an easy stroll or bike ride to local shops, dining, and entertainment. A nearby public park offers canoe and kayak access into scenic Wares Creek, where the waterway winds peacefully toward the Manatee River. It’s a true “Old Florida” oasis with lush, mature landscaping and generous off-street parking via the rear alley. Lovingly maintained by long-term tenants, this property is ready for your thoughtful updates to transform it into a standout home or incredible investment. Homes with this kind of character—and income flexibility—rarely come to market.
