2408 Avenue B, Bradenton Beach, FL 34217

Welcome to “Bungalow B”, a fully updated reincarnation of an “Old Florida” cedar cottage on a quiet street Bradenton Beach. It is situated on the island midway between the two bridges to the mainland. 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 step into the home you are welcomed by a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen that occupy a bright airy space, The space looks bigger than it seems due to the brightly painted walls and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The kitchen has a cozy breakfast bar with USB chargers and electric outlets installed in the countertop. 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. This patio roof spans the length of home, providing shade and protection from the weather. The heated pool was constructed in 2021, and the main electrical panel was replaced at this time. Hot water is supplied by an on demand electric water heater. The home was never rented, as it was homesteaded as the seller’s primary residence. The tight knit neighborhood is home to many full-time residents. However, city zoning allows for rental occupancy a minimum of 1-7 nights. This ground level home, like many on the island, was damaged by Helene’s surging water, but untouched by the winds of Milton. Once the sellers were able, they immediately started the substantial process of renovation to bring the home back to its previous glory. Unlike many homes on the island, all the work was properly permitted and inspected 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 LVT flooring. The electrical system was completely serviced and made safe. All new appliances, toilets, bathtub, kitchen cabinets and bath 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. The furniture is optional so you may use it immediately. Or you can start with a fresh canvas to make it your own. There is also a large storage building on the property for of all your beach toys. Schedule a showing of this home. If you dream of Anna Maria Island as “old Florida”, this is as good as it gets. The home would make a great second home, vacation rental or primary home to retire in paradise.
