Our buyer could not obtain financing so their loss is your opportunity. This a unique property with two separate homes in the heart of the Village of the Arts. You can live where you work using one building as your home and the other for a business or creative studio. Or, you can live in one and rent the other either short-term or long-term. Or be an investor and rent both as either residential or commercial. This 1925 Craftsman bungalow with a detached guest house features restful outdoor spaces including a grotto and spa, and a covered trex deck - a dance floor? The main house was stripped down to the studs and completely modernized with luxury vinyl flooring, new energy-efficient windows, a completely new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a new bathroom with a walk-in shower. Originally a 3-bedroom home, the current owners opened the 2nd bedroom from the master bedroom. This bonus room could be a home office, a den, a nursery or converted back into a bedroom. The guest house is ready to rent or to become a home business, or art studio with unlimited possibilities. Located in the Sarasota-Bradenton metropolitan area, the Village of the Arts covers 36 acres and contains over 100 homes, art galleries, restaurants, workshops, music venues, and studios. Residents in the area live alongside the artisans. The VOTA overlay district is an integral part of the city's redevelopment and rejuvenation of the urban core. Walk to Motorworks or Magnanimous breweries, Lecom Park for Pittsburgh Pirates training camp and minor league baseball, and the easily accessible Bradenton Riverwalk Park. Downtown Bradenton is blocks away with festivals, public art, a farmer's market, pubs, restaurants, a library, museums, a performing arts center, and more. VOTA color-filled streets offer so much with live music, incredible food, and every form of creative arts.
