In "Village of Arts" - Historic Downtown Bradenton - Live/Work Artist Colony Zoned T-4 - can accommodate commercial and/or residential property use. Site approved for additional 2 units of development. Upstairs/downstairs duplex (separate electric meters). Both renters (friends of mine) on month-to-month. I collect $1,550 monthly (well below market rate) The frontage is HUGE. 100’ from house to road. TONS of room for parking, food truck, pop up art market, café seating, etc. I lived here with my daughter for three years while we fixed it up. Let's talk about the physical structure: All the electric is new as of 2017. The metal roof is new as of 2016. Carport roof is shingle and new as of 2017. The house was tented in 2017. There is no HVAC, only window AC units. Duplex shaded and cool year round with one or two units running. Washer/dryer hookup in the back. Two separate hot water heaters, one is new as of 2017. All the water pipes are original. We have only had one repair and we replaced the piece with PVC. Sometimes the water will back up in the kitchen or bathtub and I will snake the drain and it is fine. These are the only issues we have had with plumbing. There is an additional room that the previous owner built in the back. This room has its own flat room. That roof is also metal and HAS ONE LEAK. It is tarped and not leaking currently but needs metal seam to be caulked. There is one place where the tile downstairs is bowing. This happens in the summer. I decided not to redo the tile when I bought it because it has no other issues. The upstairs living room ceiling had old plaster that fell down due to water damage before I purchased. We replaced the plaster with drywall. The drywall is not yet spackled. We have made tons of repairs and (and a few improvements). We put in the kitchen downstairs and upstairs, we repaired various damaged walls, we repairs the one pipe leak, we painted the house inside and out, we installed two new window units (in walls), and a bunch of other little things I'm forgetting. My original dream for the property was to live upstairs (or rent the upstairs) and run a business downstairs and in the carport of the structure (think coffee/beer/wine bar). I have since started a farm and a yoga studio elsewhere so I will not be starting a business at this location. I am selling because I need cash to build my dream house on our farm in Palmetto. I do NOT want to sell - I love this property and my tenants and the Village of the Arts. I served on the Artist Guild Board for over four years and am still a member of the Guild. The Village People are wonderful people and whoever buys this property will love having it and spending time in the Village! This property would work for lots of different goals. For instance: imagine holding an art market every Saturday. Imagine getting a food truck to pull up into the long driveway. If you wanted to put a gallery or business in the duplex, you can pull people in with food, live music, and by partnering with other artists. The space is waiting for the right person or couple to make it happen. I think that's everything. Feel free to give me a call on my cell with any questions or set up a time to walk through. I will be out of town from July 4 to July 17. EDIT: Because I am going out of town, I am now utilizing a real estate broker. His name is Tom Aposporos and he may be reached at (941) 704-4250.
