522 37th St W, Bradenton, FL 34205

Modest but efficient 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage, has had some renovations but the old world charm remains. Notably is the wide wooden door frames, window casings and tongue in groove ceilings that manage to define each room and add significant impact to the 1008 sq ft layout. As part of its charm, the living room and dining room work together to give the floor plan an open feel. The space is brightened with large windows overlooking the side yard. Keeping a light color palette makes the cozy kitchen feel more open. White cabinetry, paint trim, appliances and neutral wall colors reflect and spread the light around making the space feel bigger. Hideaway room tucked behind the kitchen works well both for a laundry and pantry. A future renovation could open it up adding workspace to the kitchen. Front entry reveals a once open front porch, which has been enclosed giving you additional space to utilize year round. Spreading across the front of the home, it would make a great home office or den depending on your personal need. New windows and new laminate flooring installed have readied it for your immediate use. Bedrooms both are of good size and the full bath has a tub and shower combo. Presenting a cost effective way to live, home has the potential to be a little dynamo with a few tweaks. It has the benefit of city utilities, a 49 x 120 level yard and low taxes. With more apartment dwellers taking advantage of home ownership this is perfect for the first time buyer looking to improve their financial standing with lower monthly expenses or for a second home in the resort area of Bradenton where there is plenty to see and do. Located south of Tampa, enjoy the nearby Riverwalk famous for the artfully restored cottages of the 20s and 30s that house quaint shops, galleries and restaurants. Add a restful opportunity for a day at the nearby beaches on the Gulf shores, (Anna Marie, Island, Holmes Beach or Bradenton Beach) and this is a location that cant be beat!
