What's special

Charming Historic Cottage in the Heart of Bradenton’s Village Of The Arts! Zoned BR_T4-R for both residential and commercial use, this adorable early 20th-century bungalow offers the perfect balance of character, creativity, and opportunity. Painted in artsy lime green with purple accents, the home beautifully reflects the colorful personality of the neighborhood where galleries, cafés, and studios line the streets. Located just a few blocks south of downtown Bradenton, this historic gem is a short drive to some of Florida’s most coveted beaches and within walking distance to LECOM Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ spring training. Step inside and you’ll find all the vintage charm of a well-kept, 1930s bungalow paired with thoughtful updates for modern comfort. Original hardwood floors, built-in wood furniture, and large, wood-framed windows which flood the home with natural light. The spacious entryway features swing-out wood window display boxes, perfect for showcasing art or décor. The cozy living area includes a wood-burning fireplace and adjustable ceiling spotlights designed for highlighting artwork. The kitchen, open to the dining room, offers a gas stove, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and granite counters. Just off the kitchen, the laundry area includes a full-size washer and dryer. Both bedrooms feature ceiling fans, nicely sized closets, and easy access to the updated full bathroom, which includes artistic tilework and a pebble-finish shower floor. This property has passed its 4 point inspection, qualifying for insurance. Enjoy tranquility in the attached, covered, screened-in porch off the back. Outside, a lush, fully fenced backyard shaded by mature oak, kapok and bamboo trees offers a tranquil retreat. Follow the stone pathway past exotic flowers and wild vines to a serene, stone-framed pond tucked into the corner of the garden. The separate stand-alone 8' x 15' artist studio/worshop/office in the back (previously rented to local artist for extra income) has a brand new a/c as well as freshly painted walls, floors and ceiling. With no HOA and no minimum rental period, this property offers excellent investment potential for short-term vacation rentals. The Village of the Arts allows both artists and non-artists alike to live, work, and play among Bradenton’s most creative community. Enjoy the nearby bakeries, breweries, yoga studios, pottery shops, music venues, and award-winning restaurants, plus monthly Art Walks held every first Friday evening and first and third Saturday afternoons (and holidays) featuring live music and local vendors. As a bonus, homeowners in the Village of the Arts may qualify for city grants and incentive programs funding up to $2,500 for exterior upgrades, other home repair or down payment assistance. The city also provides free local electric car rides via the “Ride Freebee” app, offering easy access to downtown and the waterfront. This is more than just a bungalow- it’s a piece of living art. With its architectural character, live/work flexibility, and location in the city’s most creative and walkable district, it appeals to those who value lifestyle as much as structure. If you’re an artist, creative professional, or someone who wants a unique home in a vibrant community, this property offers a rare blend of charm and potential. With its mix of historic charm, creative energy, and modern convenience, this enchanting Bradenton bungalow is more than a home - it’s an experience!
