About This Home

Historic Wares Creek Opportunity – 1920s Craftsman + Income-Producing Carriage House on Oversized Lot
Unlock the potential of this charming 1920s Craftsman bungalow in the sought-after Wares Creek neighborhood—just minutes from Downtown Bradenton. Set beneath mature oaks on a rare .22-acre lot with a spacious side yard, this property offers character, flexibility, and serious upside.
The main home features 2 (possibly 3) bedrooms and 2 baths, showcasing original hardwood floors, classic Craftsman built-ins, and timeless architectural details ready to be brought back to life.
Out back, a detached two-car garage with workshop + full upstairs apartment creates endless possibilities—rental income, guest suite, multi-generational living, or private studio space.
Enjoy a true Old Florida lifestyle with alley access, ample parking, and close proximity to Wares Creek, where you can launch a kayak or paddle your way to the Manatee River. Walk or bike to downtown dining, shops, and the growing arts scene.
Yes, it needs updating—but that’s where the opportunity lies. With its location, lot size, and income potential, this property is priced to allow your vision and improvements to shine.
Rarely do you find this combination of character, land, and flexibility this close to downtown. Bring your vision and make it your own.
