Discover the Village of the Arts in downtown Bradenton, a unique destination filled with whimsy and artistic expression. The neighborhood boasts many colorful homes, art galleries, eclectic shops and local restaurants that are sure to please. This is a City of Bradenton overlay zoning district, allowing one to live and work onsite simultaneously. With over 275 properties within the overlay district, the potential is endless for many different businesses and various uses.  Examples are: professional office, arts, media, health & wellness, retail boutique, and more! This particular property is one of the oldest continuously operating fine arts galleries in the Village; it is also ideally positioned at the hub of activity. Currently the main home is public gallery space, and the additional 16x14 foot two-story structure is studio space for the artist. There is a full bath, kitchen and laundry, along with central heat and air in the home, which was originally built in 1950 so it features nice original character and hardwood floors. The studio stands tall in the fenced back yard and has newer wall A/C systems for comfort while you create. New metal roofs were installed in 2023 on both structures. All water supply and sewer waste lines to the home were replaced in 2019. The electric panel was replaced in 2001. Bradenton is known as the Friendly City with walkable corridors between downtown and the Village of the Arts and ample public parking along the way. Also nearby are the Lecom ballpark and Motorworks Brewing. Our beautiful award winning beaches are also only a short distance away.
