Property Description

Some houses have a story to tell. Others are still writing one. Restored with respect for its past and designed for how we live today, this 1913 home blends preserved architectural detail with thoughtful modern updates. Located in Point Pleasant in downtown Bradenton near Old Main Street, this classic American Four Square offers 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with a layout that feels both traditional and livable. An easy care landscaped front yard leads to the expansive wraparound porch, a natural extension of the home that invites slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Inside, original leaded glass windows and a fireplace anchor the main living space, which flows easily into the family room and kitchen. The family room features impact windows and a full bath, offering flexibility for guests or everyday use. The kitchen and dining area have been thoughtfully opened to create a bright, welcoming space overlooking the side yard. Finished with KraftMaid cabinetry, LG appliances, a Bosch paneled dishwasher, butcher block counters, and a Dekton Entzo-topped island, it balances function and style without losing character. Just beyond, a reimagined butler’s pantry adds a wine refrigerator, dual drink drawers, sink, and additional cabinetry, creating an ideal transition for entertaining. Upstairs, three bedrooms include remodeled ensuite baths, while a fourth bedroom is served by an updated hall bath. The primary bath addition includes a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet, designed with comfort and practicality in mind. The outdoor spaces are equally considered. A composite side deck, rebuilt rear porch, and a partially submerged swim spa create a private retreat. A professionally installed putting green, gas fire pit, outdoor shower, and bamboo fencing are complemented by landscape and string lighting that carry the space into the evening. Recent updates include a 2022 roof, HVAC systems (2023 and 2025), 16 impact windows, refinished wood floors, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and new window treatments throughout. Located just moments from the Manatee River and Riverwalk, this home places you close to dining, boating, and the everyday rhythm of downtown Bradenton while offering a private, character-rich place to come home to. Despite its close proximity to the water, the property is located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is typically not required by lenders, offering an added layer of confidence.
