Description

*** MARKET PRICE REDUCTION**** Welcome to "Bungalow Breeze". This home is an immediate rental opportunity, a beach getaway or move in ready as your own personal home. What you see is a fully permitted and totally renovated reincarnation of an "Old Florida" cedar cottage on a quiet street in Bradenton Beach. The home is turnkey and partially furnished. 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 enter the home, you are welcomed by a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen that occupy an open bright airy space. The room looks bigger than it seems due to the fresh bright walls and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The primary bedroom has a large primary bath with a walk-in shower added in 2021. A new metal roof along with a covered patio was installed in 2019. Under the roof is covered hot and cold outdoor shower and patio that spans the length of home. This roof provides shade and protection from the weather. When the owners added the roof, their plan was to eventually add a third bedroom off the kitchen. Hot water is supplied by an on demand electric water heater. The home has never been rented, as it has been homesteaded as the seller's primary residence. City zoning allows for rental occupancy a minimum of 1-7 nights. This ground level home, like most on the island, was damaged by Helene's surging water, but untouched by Milton's winds. Once the sellers were able, they at once started the substantial process of renovation to bring the home back to its original glory. Unlike many of the homes on the island, all the work was properly permitted, inspected and approved 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 pillars, install and insulate new joists and install new waterproof subfloors. These were then covered with new waterproof LVP flooring. All the doors to the rooms were replaced with solid wood doors for privacy. The electrical system, installed with the pool, was completely inspected, serviced and made safe. Then, all new appliances, kitchen cabinets and 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. There is a dry large metal storage building on the property for all your beach toys. If you dream of Anna Maria Island as "old Florida", this is as good as it gets. The home would make a great vacation rental, second home or a primary residence perfect to retire to in paradise. SCHEDULE YOUR SHOWING TODAY.!!!!
