504 MONTEZUMA DR Bradenton, FL 34209

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Mid-Century Modern design, built in 1948 during the Florida migration. Before there were condos and paved roads leading to Anna Maria Island, there were vast Mangroves along the bay and farm land lining the coastal lands of Manatee County. As settlers migrated to Florida the coastal areas became developed and Palma Sola Park became one of the areas premier subdivisions. A unique pattern of streets and paths intertwined along Palma Sola Bay creating this maze of blocks that were as unusual then as they are today. This home was featured in Better Homes and Garden when it was completed in 1948 and still maintains its unique qualities as it did back then. As you walk in you are transported to a time where large rooms ruled and families huddled to enjoy each others company. It's evident as you walk through the house it was a place that transcends time. Three large bedrooms with cedar closets add to the mystic and charm that comes from a home of this era. The Bathrooms are original tile and immaculately maintained by the family that occupied this home for over 60 years. There have been some additions over the years, a newly resurfaced pool and pool pump added as well as a concrete tile roof just 8 years ago round out some modern updates. This home has so many possibilities. Add a few modern touches or completely transform this home into a forever dream home. If you have an eye for history, architecture and design, you will certainly appreciate this home. The tropical landscape will just add to the minds eye of possible options, as it's located on a large 1/3 acre lot with no deed restrictions. There is a separate lot next door available which would make this a true estate, nearly 1 full acre located just 5 miles from Anna Maria Island. Bring your ideas and come see for yourself what a gem this home truly is.
