Property Description
Step into the timeless charm of Old Florida with this beautifully restored 1939 Key West–style bungalow, an extraordinary piece of Anna Maria Island history. Originally built in the Sunny Shores Guest Homes community, this home was famously transported by barge in 1941, believed to be the first residence ever moved off the island. Located in Bradenton's HISTORIC RIVER DISTRICT, the property blends rich history with thoughtful modern upgrades. Included are ORIGINAL BLUE PRINTS, vintage photographs, and a detailed account of the home's remarkable journey. The inviting exterior showcases classic character with built-in flower boxes, blooming pink azaleas, and the original owner's GRAND PIANO. Inside, a bright Florida room with original quarry TILE MOSAIC flooring and 5-pane FRENCH DOORS open into a spacious formal dining room, complete with the original CRYSTAL chandelier and abundant natural light. Historic details shine throughout, including HEART PINE FLOORS, a wood-burning fireplace with custom tile surround, and a preserved STAINED GLASS transom window. The updated bathrooms boast a refined mix of vintage style and MODERN LUXURY featuring quartzite countertops, dual sinks, and a walk-in closet in the primary suite.
Additional highlights include a butler's pantry, indoor laundry, and a sunlit bonus den overlooking the backyard. Outside, a PRIVATE OASIS awaits with a fully fenced yard, lush tropical landscaping, and a new PAVER pool and spa area (2025). A newly renovated POOL HOUSE (2024) connected to the garage enhances the home's relaxed Florida lifestyle. Recent upgrades provide peace of mind, including IMPACT hurricane windows, a METAL ROOF, new HVAC system and ductwork (2023), with updated plumbing and electrical systems.
