Description

MARKET PRICE ADJUSTMENT!!!! Welcome to "Bungalow B", a fully updated reincarnation of an "Old Florida" cedar cottage on a quiet street Bradenton Beach. It is situated on the island midway between the two bridges to the mainland. The cottage, built in 1957. is a two-bedroom and two bath home with a pool. It is approximately 300 steps from soft sand beaches of Anna Maria Island and 100 steps to the bay. When you step enter home, you are stepping back in time with all of today's modern convenances. The home welcomes you with a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen that occupy a bright airy space, The space looks bigger than it seems due to the brightly painted walls and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The kitchen has a cozy breakfast bar with USB chargers and electric outlets installed in the countertop. There is a stackable washer and dryer in a sound-proofed closet next to the refrigerator. The primary bedroom has a large primary bath with a walk-in shower that was added in 2021. A new metal roof along with a covered patio were installed in 2019. In the covered patio is an outdoor shower. This patio roof spans the length of home, providing shade and protection from the weather. The heated pool was constructed in 2021, and the main electrical panel was replaced at this time. Both bedrooms have large closets and there is a fully renewed bathroom off the main living space. Hot water is supplied by an on demand electric water heater. The home was never rented, as it was homesteaded as the seller's primary residence. The tight knit neighborhood is home to many full-time residents. However, city zoning allows for rental occupancy a minimum of 1-7 nights. This ground level home, like many on the island, was damaged by Helene's surging water, but untouched by the winds of Milton. Once the sellers were able, they immediately started the substantial process of renovation to bring the home back to its previous glory. Unlike many homes on the island, all the work was properly permitted and inspected by the City of Bradenton Beach. The wood walls were opened, remediated, insulated, and replaced. Once the walls were opened the sellers decided to renew the floor. They replaced the concrete pillars and footings, install new joists, insulated the floor and install new waterproof subfloors. These were then covered with new waterproof LVP flooring. The electrical system was completely serviced and made safe. All new appliances, toilets, bathtub, kitchen cabinets and bath vanities were installed. Finally, the home was painted inside and out. On the exterior, the pool was cleaned, serviced and ready for use with a new pool pump. Nothing was left undone in this renovation. The furniture you see stays. With a few additional pieces is you could use it immediately. Or you can start with a fresh canvas to make it your own. Out back is also a large storage building for of all your beach toys. The home is surrounded by a PVC privacy fence. At the front of the home is a double gate allowing you to bring a boat and trailer inside. In the rear is another gate providing access to the city utility alley behind the property. Schedule a showing of this home. If you dream of Anna Maria Island as "old Florida", this is as good as it gets. The home would make a great second home, vacation rental or primary home to retire in paradise.
