Welcome to a timeless gem in the heart of Bradenton’s historic river district—2711 1st Ave W. Built in 1925, this Prohibition-era home exudes historic charm while offering modern conveniences perfect for short-term rental success. Nestled on a non-flood zone lot with no HOA, CDD, or lease restrictions, it’s currently operating as a thriving Airbnb. Just steps from the Manatee River and less than a block from beloved Lewis Park, your guests will enjoy the best of West Bradenton living. Downtown Bradenton’s dining, Village of the arts, and Riverwalk are only a mile away, while the pristine white sands of Anna Maria Island beckon just nine miles down the road—making this location an absolute draw for vacationers. The spacious 2,800+ sq. ft. property offers flexibility with its four bedrooms and three baths—plus a bonus room that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom. Two separate living rooms downstairs offer ample entertaining space, while a flex room—currently set as a nursery—adds to its appeal for family-oriented travelers. Fully furnished (minus a few personal items), it’s ready to go from day one. The beautifully resurfaced pool—with a brand-new heater—anchors the private yard, and fully paid-off solar panels installed in 2018 keep energy costs low. With alley access for parking in the rear and on-street parking out front, logistics are a breeze. Even better, this home can be converted into two units—one a 3-bed/2-bath, the other a 2-bed/1-bath—with an adjoining door for ultimate rental flexibility. Operate it as one expansive home or two separate income-producing units. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bradenton’s history while maximizing Airbnb potential!
