Step into the charm of old Florida with this beautifully restored 1925 Spanish bungalow, nestled in the heart of the historic Wares Creek neighborhood. Thoughtfully updated for modern living while honoring its original character, this three-bedroom, two-bath home is a rare blend of history, comfort, and style. Original hardwood floors, graceful archways, and timeless architectural details create a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The spacious, open-concept kitchen is a true centerpiece, designed for gathering, with high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and plenty of prep space for everyday living or entertaining. Outdoors, your private backyard oasis awaits. A heated saltwater pool and spa, added in 2014, offer the perfect place to relax year-round, surrounded by tropical landscaping and two custom pergolas ideal for dining alfresco or hosting friends and family. Practical upgrades add peace of mind, hurricane impact windows, updated electrical (2010), plumbing (2011), and a custom designed laundry space with built-in cabinetry and beverage fridge for added convenience. Located just a short stroll from the scenic Riverwalk and minutes to award winning Gulf beaches, this home offers the best of both worlds; a quiet retreat with easy access to downtown, the waterfront, and everything Bradenton has to offer. With no flood insurance required and alley access for added flexibility, this property is perfect as a full time residence, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity. This is more than just a home, it's a piece of Bradenton history, lovingly restored for modern life.
