NEW PRICE - $998,000! RARE .35-ACRE HOMESITE IN BRADENTON'S HISTORIC RIVER DISTRICT! Just off Riverview Boulevard and moments from the Manatee River, this distinctive property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a spacious, beautifully shaded lot in one of Bradenton's most established and desirable neighborhoods, complete with a character-filled home, private swimming pool and room to make it your own. With approximately .35 acres in this sought-after location, the value extends well beyond the walls of the home itself. Set beneath a canopy of majestic oaks, the generous property provides an exceptional sense of space and privacy. There's room for boats, an RV, additional parking, outdoor entertaining and a variety of possibilities for enjoying and enhancing the property. Located within City of Bradenton limits with NO HOA or deed restrictions, this property offers added freedom and flexibility to enjoy and personalize your space. Whether you envision creating your own backyard retreat, updating the existing home to reflect your personal style or simply appreciating the freedom of a larger homesite, the setting offers tremendous appeal. The home itself is an authentic 1931 Craftsman, rich with architectural character that cannot easily be recreated. Original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, charming built-ins and timeless details provide a wonderful foundation for its next chapter. A substantial addition in 1975 expanded the living space to include a generous family room, additional bedroom, laundry area and spacious upstairs primary suite. The resulting floor plan offers a variety of distinct living spaces with flexibility for today's needs and opportunities to personalize over time. Outside, the large private swimming pool, beautifully refinished in 2023, creates an inviting centerpiece for outdoor living. The expansive grounds and established landscaping offer a setting with room to relax, entertain, garden or explore future improvements. Important updates include a roof installed in 2013, recently inspected with minor repairs completed, and two separate A/C systems installed in 2022 and 2025, both maintained on a regular service schedule. Beyond the property itself, the location is a standout. Nestled within Bradenton's Historic River District, just off scenic Riverview Boulevard, you're close to the Manatee River, downtown Bradenton, Riverwalk, local parks, dining and the charm of the surrounding historic neighborhoods. Held by the same family for many years and offered on the open market for the first time, this property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy the character of an original Old Florida home on a generously sized parcel in an exceptional Bradenton location. The land, the location, the character and the possibilities-this is an opportunity to create something truly your own in the Historic River District.
