About this home
This timeless classic home has been meticulously restored by family of the original owners and is being offered for sale now for the first time EVER! Built in 1912 by the iconic Curry family, this rare Sears style, Craftsman home is a beautifully preserved piece of Bradenton history—thoughtfully restored and seamlessly updated for modern living. This 2 bed/2 Bath with Den home is situated on an elevated corner lot outside the flood zone, and offers architectural soul and craftsmanship that are increasingly hard to find. Come see the handcrafted windows and doors, restored hardwood floors, clawfoot tub, and countless details that speak to the quality and care of a bygone era. The expansive front porch with original French doors invites you to slow down and take in the character and charm of this historic home and the view of the bay. Inside, the home features a spacious living room wrapped in windows with water views to the west, filling the space with natural light. A sunlit reading room sits just off the newly updated kitchen, offering a quiet retreat, while the formal dining room anchors the layout for entertaining. Three decorative fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. An unfinished second story spans the full footprint of the home, complete with windows, an opportunity to add living space while preserving the integrity of the original structure. Located within city limits, this property allows for boat parking, rentals, and future expansion, with ample room for a pool or garage. The marina is just a stone throw away, along with downtown Bradenton’s waterfront dining, nightlife, and cultural amenities—all while enjoying the privacy and elevation of this unique setting. Important updates include a new roof, A/C, plumbing, electric, water heater, fridge, disposal, fixtures and lighting. Four point inspection and wind mitigation reports are complete. Natural gas is available and connected. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property, offering timeless design, irreplaceable craftsmanship, and the opportunity to own a true piece of Bradenton’s architectural history. Come see it today!
