Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to Cortez Villas, an established 55+ community in West Bradenton where mature palms line the streets, neighbors gather over shuffleboard, and the Gulf Coast lifestyle is just minutes away. This villa offers just over 1,000 square feet of single-level living with two bedrooms, two baths, and a layout full of potential. Sold strictly as-is for cash, this is an investor opportunity to bring a sturdy Florida villa back to life. Inside, you will find a flowing main living area anchored by warm hardwood floors that extend through the living room, dining area, and hallway. The kitchen retains its solid oak cabinetry with cathedral-style raised panel doors, a double-basin sink, electric range, and a classic tile floor, opening to a casual breakfast area. The primary suite offers true dual walk-in closets, a rare bonus for a villa this size, and connects to a private bath. The secondary bedroom has been outfitted with butcher block built-ins and generous shelving, currently ideal as a workshop or hobby room and easily removable to restore the space as a traditional guest bedroom, den, or home office. It shares the second full bath with a tub and shower. An enclosed sunroom at the back of the home, originally built as an open lanai, provides additional flex space and an opportunity to reimagine the footprint. Out back, a brick paver patio opens to a generous, well-tended lawn maintained by the association. The building received a brand-new roof in 2025, and the community itself shines with a heated swimming pool, sun deck, multiple shuffleboard courts, and a beautifully maintained clubhouse featuring an updated kitchen, large gathering hall, billiards room, library, and resident lounge. This particular villa enjoys an all-inclusive HOA that covers exterior maintenance, water, sewer, lawn care, cable, internet, and full access to the recreation facilities, a package not extended to every home in the community. The location is hard to beat, tucked just moments from Cortez Road shopping and dining, the historic Cortez fishing village, IMG Academy, and the powdery Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach. Downtown Bradenton and Sarasota are both within an easy drive. Bring your vision and your contractor and unlock the potential of a Florida villa in one of West Bradenton's most welcoming 55+ communities.
