About This Property
A perfect combination of preserved Florida cottage charm and practical updates make this property truly one-of-a-kind. 1602 18th Ave W is a beautifully maintained 1947 bungalow providing comfortable, move-in-ready living oozing with timeless character. An inviting screened front porch welcomes you inside, where you will immediately notice the beautiful brick fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves. The updated kitchen (2013) features custom cabinetry and stone countertops, while the remodeled bath (2013) adds to the home’s refreshed appeal, all while preserving the character and warmth that make this vintage home so special. A nearly new metal roof (2025) adds peace of mind, and double-pane windows (2010) with hurricane shutters offer additional protection. HVAC and Hot Water Heater also replaced within the last 5 years! Outdoors, enjoy a spacious, beautifully landscaped backyard oasis with a newly installed privacy fence. The screened rear porch offers additional space to relax, with potential for future expansion. A standout feature for Florida living, the fenced yard offers room to park a boat or RV, with an RV hookup already in place. Situated on a corner lot with alley access, this property also offers convenient access to US-41 and Cortez Road with all of the modern conveniences of life and Bradenton’s beautiful Gulf beaches just a few miles away. Enjoy the freedom of no HOA or CDD fees, too. Full of character, thoughtfully updated, and ready for its next chapter, this West Bradenton bungalow is a rare opportunity; don't miss it!
