Step into Timeless Spanish Mediterranean Charm in the heart of the Historic River District – where elegance, history, and location come together beautifully. This one-of-a kind historic home is nestled in the heart of Bradenton, where the Riverview Neighborhood and Fogartyville meet, just two blocks from the Manatee River. Perfectly situated on high and dry land outside of any flood zone, this updated Old World retreat is built like a fortress, standing strong against hurricanes while exuding warmth and character. With no HOA or deed restrictions, this property offers true freedom and flexibility for homeowners. Located just 8 miles from Anna Maria Island, two miles from downtown Bradenton, and only 25 minutes from SRQ Airport, this home provides convenient access to the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast. As you enter through the iron-gated portico, a constant breeze welcomes you into an inviting and creative space. Inside, the open entryway flows seamlessly through an arched passage into the light-filled living room, complete with a cozy fireplace. A delightful faux bookshelf doorway leads to a private reading nook, a hidden gem that never fails to captivate guests. Beyond another arch, the elegant dining room boasts two built-in corner cabinets, and the well-designed kitchen features a wrap-around counter, ideal for buffets or extra workspace. An efficient gas stove makes cooking a pleasure, while abundant cabinetry ensures ample storage. The adjoining laundry and mud area provide added convenience, with a back door leading to the expansive deck that spans the width of the home. French doors from the dining room open into a covered, tiled lanai, offering another tranquil outdoor space. The large, fenced backyard is a thoughtfully designed Templar Garden—low maintenance, Florida-friendly, and spacious enough to accommodate a boat, Airstream, additional vehicles, or even a future pool and garage. Architectural plans for a garage in the home’s style will be provided. A wide and gracious staircase leads to the second level, where a bright gallery connects three inviting bedrooms. The master suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a new sink, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate shower. The second bathroom maintains its original charm with a vintage cast iron sink and a large walk-in shower, while all three bathrooms have been updated with new Kohler toilets. This enchanting, light-filled home is a true sanctuary, offering historic elegance with modern convenience in one of Bradenton’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Step inside, feel the warmth, and envision your life in this dream home.
