Imagine a place where you can experience VIBRANT DOWNTOWN LIFE while nested in the serenity of your charming vintage cottage. This enchanting 1922 Craftsman Cottage-style home is located in the Historic District of Downtown Bradenton. Next to the main home is another unit built in 1955 with an apartment over a 2-car garage. Positioned off Wares Creek, this home is just minutes away from the picturesque Riverwalk on the waterfront of Manatee River, the farmers market, plentiful fine dining spots, and multiple interesting cultural attractions. Just miles from the exquisite Bradenton and Anna Maria Island beaches. For a sense of privacy, there is a fence all around the property with hedges and a picket fence door at the front. This craftsman-style house exteriors emphasize the harmony with surrounding nature. A delightful oasis, the yard is beautifully landscaped with native Florida plants and trees including palm trees, sea grape bushes, succulents, and a drunken tree along gravel and stone paths. To emphasize the unique character of the property, the landscaping features a Ylang Ylang tree (one of only 33 in central Florida) known for its supremely fragrant blossoms used to create Chanel No 5. Having a POOL, a 5-person HOT TUB, a TIKI BAR, and multi-level areas for your hammock and relaxing, this property has all the sought-after amenities. Invite your friends over for a movie, game, or grill&chill night in your very own Tiki Bar. From the cozy front porch, enter ‘SILVER GIRL COTTAGE AND BUNKHOUSE’; the main home. With lots of trim and molding, this 2 beds/2 baths home was thoughtfully maintained over time. Additional features include an updated kitchen, laundry room, original hardwood floorings throughout the home, office/study room with access to the deck, and the attic. 47 solar panels on the roof for a significant decrease in the electricity bill! The other unit has 2 beds/1 bath, a kitchen, and vinyl plank flooring throughout, accessible only by the exterior stairway to the balcony. It has been used as a guest house by the owners. The shell drive runs up to the garage and around both sides to make up enough space for 4-6 vehicles to be parked, including a boat/trailer. As a duplex, this multifamily property with all its features presents a great potential to be a revenue producer as a RENTAL PROPERTY!
