Property Description
Charming 1925 Historic Craftsman with Pool, Guest Apartment & Endless Possibilities – Just Minutes from Anna Maria Island!
Welcome to a rare gem in West Bradenton – a beautifully updated Craftsman-Style bungalow that perfectly blends historic character with modern comfort. Tucked away in a quiet, no-HOA neighborhood filled with other well-preserved historic homes, this property is ideal for those seeking charm, space, and flexibility—with the added bonus of being just minutes from the sparkling beaches of Anna Maria Island.
In addition to the main house, there's a separate, fully equipped apartment above the garage—perfect for visitors, long-term tenants, or short-term vacation rentals. The detached apartment is active on Air BnB with consistent bookings since 2022. Whether you're dreaming of dual living, a guest retreat, or an income-producing Airbnb, this home delivers!
Step inside the main residence and you'll immediately feel the warmth of its history. Originally built as Saint Luke's Chapel, the first church of Fogartyville, the home was lovingly restored and thoughtfully redesigned. The living space features two generous bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a light-filled living room, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen. Hardwood floors, plaster walls, and working double-hung windows add timeless elegance, while a versatile bonus room/office at the back of the home opens to your own backyard oasis.
Outdoors, the stunning property features continue. The lush backyard features a sparkling pool with tropical landscaping. Beyond the pool, the property keeps going with a fruit orchard, vegetable and flower garden, plumeria trees, and even a blooming Ylang Ylang tree said to be used in the making of Chanel perfume. There's a potting shed and a well for irrigation—making this a true retreat for garden lovers and entertainers alike.
Above the detached garage, the private guest apartment offers a peaceful open-concept living space with its own kitchen, bath, and private porch overlooking the grounds. Downstairs, the guest apartment has access to it's very own washer/dryer.
Additional highlights include:
* Space to store your boat and/or RV
* A spray-foam insulated, unfinished walk-up attic/second floor with potential to expand in the main house
* Only one block from the Manatee River for beautiful neighborhood strolls, epic sunset walks, and access to the best view of the riverfront firework displays throughout the year (no flood insurance required!)
* Close proximity to shopping, dining, and medical facilities in Downtown Bradenton, and natural preserves like Robinson Preserve and Fort DeSoto.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, this West Bradenton treasure is truly one of a kind. Come experience the history, coastal charm and income potential of this incredible home!
